About Me

Ciao! I’m a native Italian speaker currently living in Bergamo but my career as italian teacher started in Mexico in 2004.

Since then, I have collected a lot of experience and developed a vast set of tools and materials to keep students motivation high. My classes are always prepared with professionalism, commitment and enthusiasm.
Passion is the key. Every lesson for me is a challenge.
The teaching of foreign languages has a very strong emotional component which it is necessary to know how to connect with, in order to obtain the cooperation of the students and good results.

I will help you to boost your languages skills. I do lessons from basic up to advanced levels. Lessons are customized according to your real level, interests, predispositions and even particular needs (conversation, drafting of texts, revision or recovery of an exam, preparation of CILS certifications, job interviews, etc.). I have experience organizing private, group and professional lessons.

I lived four years in Mexico, five in Romania and currently I am learning english to be able to communicate with you. So, I understand very well how hard is to start from scratch over and over. I know how frustrating is, not to be able to express yourself as you would like. I can see how you feel embarrassed or ashamed every time you try to speak with someone and you realized that your italian is not so good or fluent. But don’t worry. Be patience and believe it. We’ll hardly work together, to achieve your goals.

I have been teaching Italian to many students who attended my courses for their job, for love towards my country, its art, its culture, its beuaty and also to get the CILS Italian certification.
Currently my pupils of Italian face to face are generally expatriates with their families, on arrival or resident in Italy.
I cooperate also to a first-literacy project aimed at immigrant african women.
