 Benvenuti e benvenute!

I am an Italian native speaker from Rome and I teach Italian at all levels.

I have been living abroad for many years (Australia, US, Chile, UK) teaching  my native language in Universities , Community centres, City council courses, High Schools as well as privately and online.

My lessons are interactive and entertaining. I design and plan my classes to suit the learning needs of my students, whether they are university students, foreigners who are moving to Italy or someone passionate about Italian culture.

If you have to study for GCSE and A level or for international Italian language qualifications such as PLIDA and CILS  I am your best choice. I have successfully prepared many students for these exams and have been an examiner in various exam sessions so I know the requirements well.

If you are an expat planning to move to Italy I can design a specific course for you featuring language but also cultural tips.

If you are a company I suggest you my 'Italian for business' module.

Teaching my native language for me also means communicating and making Italian culture known. That is why I have created several courses on Italian culture and history that have been very successful. I believe it is very important to continue studying and learning new things throughout one's life. That is why I have taught a lot in Lifelong Learning courses and departments.

I am also a musician and I work as a language coach with singers keen to know the Italian repertoire in order to be able to sing it and interpret it with correct pronunciation and diction, knowing the real translation of the lyrics and Opera librettos, the nuances of the language to boost their interpretation and performance skills.
