About Me
italki teacher since Jun 22, 2017InterestsTravelMusicFilms & TV SeriesReading
Valeria, born in sunny Salento, passionate about sharing Italian culture.
My Apulian roots inspire my teaching—students often say, “Italian sounds so romantic!” and “Your accent is charming.”
Fueled by coffee and curiosity, I turned my love for language into a career.
DITALS-certified, with a Master’s in Public Relations, I’ve taught in Melbourne and Lecce, and led cultural workshops.
If you dream of exploring Italy or want to speak like a local, I’m here to help you discover the real Italian spirit.

I had a trial lesson with Valeria and it was obvious from the start that she is passionate about her students and helping them to reach their goals. Valeria has a very encouraging and friendly style that allows students to feel at ease and speak Italian without fear of making mistakes. I will definitely be booking more lessons with her!
