Hi! I'm Annabelle, a native English speaker but have been living and studying in Italy on and off since 2010. I received my Master's in Italian Studies in 2018 and have been teaching Italian full time for the past five years. I am also a photographer, traveler, and book worm.
Me as a Teacher
I truly love teaching and find it so exciting to watch my students make progress. I have experience teaching students ages 3 to 80! I started tutoring college level students while I was in grad school and have continued to teach adults and children. I know what it's like to be a beginner student so I am extremely patient and I like to keep things fun!
My lessons & teaching style
I generally assess a student's level in our first lesson and from there will choose the best materials and book to follow. I have all of my materials scanned in PDF form ready to send to my students and I like to use a mix of speaking, reading, grammar exercises, writing, listening and comprehension in each lesson. I also urge my students to do more interactive exercises like watch TV shows or movies in Italian and choose a phrase to discuss in class, or to make an Italian dish and write the recipe in Italian to discuss in our lessons. I strive to make my classes fun and interactive!

¡Anabelle es una profesora genial! Hemos estado dando clase desde hace aproximadamente tres meses y soy capaz de hablar en italiano, y de entender todo lo que me dice. Las clases son divertidas y dinámicas, pero aprendo muchísimo en cada una. ¡Recomiendo elegirla al 100%, y estoy muy animada por contunuar con las clases!

She’s the best Italian teacher I’ve had which includes my teachers from my undergraduate studies! She’s able to utilize colloquial Italian as well as academic Italian. The stuffiness of the traditional classroom isn’t present here - while there’s structure, it’s form and function is centered around modernity in Italy. Students will not be disappointed by her skill or her ability to always meet one in the middle.
