About Me
italki teacher since Sep 29, 2015Interest topicReadingHistoryMedical & Healthcare
With my unique background of having lived in 8 different countries and speaking eight languages to varying degrees, my passion lies in teaching Italian to adults. Witnessing the incredible transformation of hundreds of my students, as they progress from monolingual English speakers to confident bilingual communicators, brings me immense joy.
With over 10 years of experience teaching online, my primary focus is on adult learners who speak English as their native language. I constantly strive to learn new teaching patterns to share my languages in the most efficient and enjoyable manner, utilizing up-to-date teaching approaches (e.g. flipped classroom) and top-notch learning materials, incluMe as a Teacher
Yes, I am a certified teacher of Italian as a foreign language, with a formal background in linguistics and communication that I earned from two universities in Italy and France. However, what sets me apart is that I am a lifelong student, continuously taking classes with private coaches. This unique perspective of constantly being in the shoes of a student, not just a teacher, allows me to truly understand what is needed for guaranteed success: STRUCTURE WITH A CLEAR LEARNING ITINERARY, GRADUAL PROGRESS, REGULAR FEEDBACK, and ACCOUNTABILITY. All of these elements are combined with the best teaching resources and approaches available on the market.My lessons & teaching style
Tired of feeling overwhelmed with your study of Italian? Do you need a structured, well-organized itinerary from a certified and experienced teacher who is also a language content designer? Time is too precious to waste on learning a foreign language the wrong way.
In my classes, you can expect:
Modern teaching methods, such as the "flipped class" approach.
High-quality learning materials to tailor your learning journey.
Pre-class homework to help you navigate the world of language learning and make the most of each session.
Constructive feedback to aid your progress.
Accountability to keep you on track.

Mi piace italki ma le valutazioni non corrispondono alla realtà. Sembra che tutti gli insegnanti siano uguali (5 stelle). Prova una lezione con Serena e ne vedrai una che merita davvero 5 stelle.

This was my first full lesson with Serena. She has to be one of the best teachers on italki. The lesson was completely thought out and we used a variety of material to talk about diverse topics. I was fully relaxed during the lesson, even when making mistakes, which speaks volumes to the atmosphere that Serena created during our session. I am excited for my next lesson.

Working with Serena is like taking a university course, except she's your personal professor. What an in depth way to learn and refine your Italian.

Serena é muito diferenciada, preparada e que de uma maneira própria e particular, consegue ser exigente e ao mesmo tempo simpática. Com ela se aprende muito sem ser enfadonho. Os resultados obtidos são um estímulo à parte. Meus agradecimentos a essa grande profissional.

Today was my first full lesson with Serena. I learned how to answer/ask questions and conjugate -are, -ere, and -ire verbs and then use them to say my own self-introduction. We also did some exercises to let the new grammar that I was learning sink in. I enjoyed my lesson and am looking forward to learning more Italian.
