Ciao! I am Anna and I live in Italy but I spent several periods abroad in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Germany, to study (Erasmus in Paris) and to work (internship at the European Commission in Brussels). I speak English, French, a bit of Spanish and I studied Hindi, Latin and Ancient Greek. I like to talk about actual news, cross cultural differences, society, psychology and also about history and art of Italy.
Me as a Teacher
I am a certified teacher (I obtained the DITALS certification from the University for foreigners of Siena) and I have experience with one-to-one lessons both in presence and online, with adults of many nationalities and with teenagers and children. I studied at the Liceo classico (studying Italian literature, Latin and ancient greek language and literature) and then I studied international law at the university of Milan. I also have experience in courses of preparation of CELI and CILS exams, mainly to foreigners who apply for Italian citizenship.
My lessons & teaching style
I usually elaborate personalized courses, based on your needs and interests. Therefore courses can be very different (more focused on grammar or conversation or other needs) and I work a lot on the choice of materials to address your interests. In general, I diversify the teaching techniques as much as possible and I propose activities and games in the perspective of learning by doing and by playing games, which I consider very valid methods of teaching.

Anna is a great teacher and her teaching method is excellent for students of all ages and interests. I use a textbook with Anna and we go through structured lessons to really understand the language. She is always on-time and present in classes. She is professional and we learn the language through an immersive and authentic way. I higly recommend Anna for people who want to learn Italian and speak Italian.

Un’altra lezione perfecto! I am stuck in the Azores, and there’s nothing like a great Italian lesson to brighten my day.

Anna is a super encouraging teacher! I appreciate that she incorporates flash cards and other learning tools so that I can see the words with some pictures for context. Whenever I am able to converse more on a subject, she’s also good with going down that path until I run out of words 🙂 I am happy that she teaches at a beginner level but enjoy knowing that when I improve I can stay with her and she will just adapt her teaching to my abilities. I highly recommend Anna as an Italian language teacher!
