Hi, I'm Serena!
I have a degree in Philology and Literary Criticism from the University of Siena, and I love reading and writing. I'm a cheerful person, always ready for new adventures—like the year I spent in Australia teaching Italian.
Teaching made me discover the joy of sharing my culture and seeing students fall in love with Italy.
What are you waiting for? Come and explore Italy with me!
I'm looking forward to meeting you!Me as a Teacher
I’m a careful, precise, and approachable teacher. My students never feel inadequate, because together we’ll explore the many different ways this language can be learned! My lessons & teaching style
I have five years of experience teaching the Italian language, as since I started university, I have been helping adults (mostly non-native speakers) learn Italian for study, work, or simply personal enjoyment. I don’t use a standard method; instead, I carefully choose the one that best suits the person in front of me. I much prefer practice over theory, and my lessons are interactive, filled with exercises and dialogues.My teaching material

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!

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!
