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!
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!
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 ever...

Dea always has a plan for the lesson and we speak of many things. She gently corrects my grammar and helps me with vocabulary. She is patient and has a great sense of humor. Great teacher!
