Hi, I’m Serena! I help adult learners improve their Italian through real conversation and practical use of the language. I have a degree in Philology and Literary Criticism from the University of Siena, and I’m a certified Italian teacher. I love reading and writing, and I’m a cheerful and curious person, always ready for new adventures — like the year I spent in Australia teaching Italian. Teaching allowed me to discover the joy of sharing Italian culture and helping students feel more confident when they speak. If you’d like to explore Italy not only as a tourist, but as a real speaker of Italian, I’d be happy to guide you on this journey. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Serena est très attentive au niveau de ses élèves et à leurs envies. Avec un niveau débutant, je ne vois pas l’heure passer. Serena vient préparer, mais reste adaptable durant l’heure, pour répondre aux questions, ou approfondir des sujets qui m’interrogent. J’apprends l’italien en autodidacte depuis plusieurs mois, mais mes échanges avec Serena ont réellement changé mon approche de l’apprentissage de l’italien, et me donnent envie de progresser avec son soutien.

Serena è stata bravissima nella nostra prima lezione, la sua esperienza e talenta come istruttrice è evidente. Abbiamo avuto una conversazione divertente e accessibile, e lei mi ha trattato con pazienza e gentilezza, creando un ambiente confortevole per migliorare le mie abilità. Vi raccomando di iscrivervi subito per una lezione con Serena!

Estaba súper nervioso de retomar mi italiano después de años sin hablarlo. En un par de segundos Serena derrumbó ese miedo. Es súper fácil sentirse cómodo con ella y hablar de cualquier cosa. ¡Estoy muy contento de haberla elegido!
