About Me
italki teacher since Jul 27, 2025InterestsArtTravelEnvironment & NatureMusicReading
I am Dea, and I hold an academic background specialized in language teaching and linguistics, with a PhD in the field. For years, I've been passionately dedicated to education — working with students as well as future foreign language teachers, including at the university level, where I’ve had the opportunity to train those who will one day teach others themselves.
I have degrees in Italian, Latin, and Ancient Greek, and I’ve studied various modern languages — both out of passion and to be able to communicate with people from around the world. I strongly believe that each language is a key that opens cultural doors and fosters deep human connections!Me as a Teacher
Those who know me in the classroom describe me as sociable and empathetic, with a clear and engaging teaching style. I’m creative and original in designing playful, interactive activities — qualities I find essential for building a calm and stimulating learning environment. When I’m passionate about something, it shows: my enthusiasm is contagious! I love to involve, motivate, and turn each lesson into an opportunity for both growth and joy. At the same time, I’m a practical and efficient person: I’m goal-oriented and determined, but never at the expense of enjoying the journey. Every step is a chance to learn, connect, and smile together. Let's combine business with pleasure! My lessons & teaching style
The teaching methods and strategies I use are varied and always flexible—they adapt to each learner’s needs, learning style, and goals. I will tailor every lesson to suit your individual requirements.
Do you need an Italian language certification? Want to learn the language properly and naturally? Are you planning a trip to Italy and want to prepare to enjoy it to the fullest? Thinking about relocating and working here, or perhaps you’d like to surprise your Italian partner with your language skills?
Whatever your dream may be… with me, it can become a reality. Together, we’ll create a personalized journey — full of enthusiasm, effectiveness, and yes, plenty of fun along the way!My teaching material

Un'altra buona lezione con Dea. Mi ha spiegato i verbi dovere, avere bisogno di, e servire. Lei continua a insegnare che i temi che penso che sono dificili in realtà sono facile di capire. Grazie Dea! A presto!

La lezione con Dea è stata ottima come sempre. Dea è un’insegnante premurosa e paziente, con grande attenzione ai dettagli e spiegazioni estremamente chiare che mi aiutano a fare luce su molti aspetti complessi dell’italiano. Semplicemente un’insegnante meravigliosa!

I have been taking lessons with Dea for a couple months and I have been highly satisfied with the lessons. Although I started with an intermediate level of Italian coming into my first lesson with her, the amount of new things I have learned has only continued to increase. Dea is a very detail oriented instructor and provides extremely useful immediate feedback in every lesson.

Dea always prepares very pleasant and tailored lessons, for example with texts matching your interests and integrated grammar exercises. She is also very patient and calm :)

Un dificile soggetto per me, i pronomi, ma Dea lo spiega chiaramente. Mi dà molti esempi e risponde tutte le mie domande. La prossima lezione continueremo. Grazie Dea!
