About Me
italki teacher since Feb 14, 2020InterestsMedical & HealthcareTravelReadingTechMusic
Ciao! I'm Sabina, a certified DITALS II instructor and digital content creator specializing in Italian language education - from Sicily. With a master's degree in Linguistics (summa cum laude) from the University for Foreigners of Perugia, where I focused on Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language, I bring both academic rigor and practical expertise to my teaching. Committed to professional development, I regularly enhance my skills through webinars, seminars, and specialized training programs. My approach combines structured grammar instruction with engaging conversational practice and cultural insights, all supported by innovative digital resources. I take pride in helping students!Me as a Teacher
I'm a coach: I will teach you how to become independent in your study process. I value your time, effort, and money, and I will optimize lessons to use our time effectively and make the most of online learning. I try to infuse humor and curiosity into my lessons, and always emphasize the value of making mistakes as an essential part of the learning process. I am always available to answer questions outside of our scheduled lessons. My lessons & teaching style
I can offer you traditional classes based on grammar, but also conversation classes tailored to your interests to help you to improve your communication skills. Music, culture, history, Italian lifestyle—all can be interesting topics of conversation.
I strive to personalize each lesson. I begin by assessing your language proficiency in four areas: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. I then create a lesson plan. I may recommend and share videos and audio files as supplementary sources to help you learn vocabulary, grammar, and useful phrases. My goal is to help you gain confidence so that you can begin to speak Italian like an Italian!My teaching material

Learning a new language can be both frustrating and enjoyable at the same time.
Sabina finds clever ways of reducing the frustration yet making the lesson more fun at the same time. This creates an ideal learning environment.
As an accredited professional language teacher, she's patient, knowledgeable, and effective. She also uses good equipment and strong internet connection so you can hear her speak more clearly.
I feel lucky to have the opportunity to learn Italian with Sabina.

Sabina is an excellent teacher. She is encouraging, patient, friendly, and intelligent. She helps relieve the stress and discomfort of speaking a new language. She can switch between english and italian flawlessly to help me finish my thoughts. I highly recommend her.

I have worked with Sabina, and I highly recommend!
Sabina’s work is excellent and very professional. However, it is her ability to understand your needs and goals and deliver personalized results that make her stand out from others. Once you’ve worked with Sabina you will not want to work with another teacher…

It was my great fortune to find Sabina on italki! She is everything one could ask for in an instructor: intelligent and kind, keenly attentive to each conversation, patient with my many mistakes, yet always motivating me to improve. As if that weren't enough, she has a great sense of humor, making each session a lot of fun. Grazie, Sabina!
