Ciao! I’m Anna, a DITALS-certified Italian teacher with 8 years of experience teaching adults and kids worldwide. My background in international law (University of Milan) and classical studies (Latin, Ancient Greek) enriches my lessons with cultural depth. Having lived across Europe—from Paris to Brussels to Geneva to Munich —I love exploring cross-cultural topics, society and psychology as well as Italian history and current affairs in class. Fluent in English/French and conversational in Spanish, I tailor lessons to your goals, whether it’s CELI/CILS exams, fluent conversation or playful learning for kids. Let’s make Italian your language!
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.

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

Very interesting discussion with Anna on the topic of social media. As an A2-B1 learner I absolutely struggled, but these struggles pushed me forward and helped improve my Italian skills. Anna offered me many useful ways to express my thoughts eloquently and in an idiomatic way.
