About me
Maybe Italian runs in your family. Maybe it's your partner's language, or the place you keep coming back to, or simply a language you've always loved. However you got here, what you're looking for is usually the same: authentic conversation, steady progress, and a teacher who actually gets to know you.I'm a professional Italian teacher with 16 years of experience (10 online). I was born in southern Italy, hold a degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures, and I'm certified DITALS II — an advanced qualification for teaching Italian to foreigners.I've taught in Turkey, Peru, and Togo, to students of all ages — and I've experienced firsthand the challenge of settling into different countries without speaking the language right away. That's why I truly understand what my students go through, not just linguistically but on a human level.I place great importance on building a solid grammatical foundation, but culture, traditions, and the Italian way of life matter just as much to me — and above all, practical conversation: my goal is to help you communicate with confidence in real-life situations you'll encounter in Italy.I'm a warm and patient teacher: my students often tell me there's never any pressure in our lessons. I've met some of them in person in Italy, and others have even hosted me in their homes, in their own countries—that's the kind of connection that grows when lessons become more than just grammar.If we work together, you won't just learn Italian — you'll learn to feel at home in Italy.Which is why my students range from Italian-Americans reconnecting with their roots, to partners of Italians, travelers, and lifelong language lovers — all looking for the same thing: to actually speak Italian, not just study it.
How we'll work together
Grammar, finally clear
We build your foundations one step at a time — not because grammar is the goal, but because once it clicks, everything else gets easier.
One structure, made for you
Every lesson follows the same solid method — but I adapt it to your personality, your interests, and your pace. You'll always be talking, and together, we build your path as we go.
Talking from day one
You won't wait until you're "ready" to speak. We start talking together in the very first lesson — that's where genuine progress comes from.
Who my lessons are for
However you got here, if what you want is real conversation and steady progress, you're in the right place. A few examples of who I typically work with:Italian roots — you want to reconnect with your family's history and Italian heritage
Italian citizenship — you need to pass the B1 language exam and want to feel prepared and confident
Relocating or buying a home in Italy — you're planning to live here, even part-time, and want to feel independent
Travelers and curious minds — you want to move around Italy with ease and communicate naturally and respectfully
