About Me

Hi! My name is Valentina and I’m an Italian teacher with a true passion for languages and communication.
I was born and raised in Italy, and I’ve been teaching Italian since 2018 in both classroom and online settings.
I currently live in Marseille, France, where I teach Italian to adult learners in local language associations — and I also work online with students from all over the world. I love helping people discover the richness of the Italian language and culture, always adapting to their pace, goals, and interests.
When I'm not teaching, I'm probably learning a language myself — or thinking about how to make grammar more fun!Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Italian as a foreign language since 2018. I started at Ciao Italy, a private language school in Turin, where I worked for four years with adult learners of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced students. There, I developed a flexible, communicative approach, covering grammar, vocabulary, conversation, and Italian culture. I also successfully prepared several students for official language exams (CILS, CELI, PLIDA).
Since 2023, I have been living in Marseille, where I teach Italian at the Passaparola association, offering courses to adults in small groups or one-on-one settings.
In 2024, I also joined Babbel Live as an online Italian teacher. I lead group lessMy lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored to your level, interests, and goals. Whether you're just starting out or preparing for an exam, I’ll guide you with patience, clarity, and a good sense of humour!
I work with a 360° language approach: we’ll cover grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, conversation, and cultural topics — always in a meaningful and practical way. I also have experience in exam preparation (CILS, CELI, PLIDA), and I’ll make sure you feel confident and well-prepared.
I always aim to create a warm, encouraging atmosphere, where you feel comfortable speaking and making progress at your own pace.Certificates

每次上课都可以畅所欲言，老师会在最后纠正一些语法错误，这样的体验很好，既锻炼了口语又可以知道自己的不足之处。期待下一次的见面！
