Language nerd with a mission to make learning Italian fun but effective! Ciao! I'm a Milanese with a degree in foreign language literature and have a passion for linguistics. I enjoy learning about other people's languages and cultures and I'm a language learner myself (so I know the struggle!). 🏳️‍⚧️ LGBTQ+ AFFIRMING!!! 🏳️‍🌈 ‼️PLEASE, IF YOU'RE A NEW STUDENT SEND ME A MESSAGE TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOUR LANGUAGE GOALS AS YOU BOOK YOUR FIRST LESSON. THANK YOU SO MUCH‼️ I'm easy going and I value effort, so no need to stress. I generally don't assign homework for my conversation classes but if you'd like me to just tell me and I'll have something ready for you shortly after the lesson. 🚫 Note that I do not offer lessons aimed at children / younger students nor any translation services 🚫 My lesson are centered on natural conversations. I'm going to help you find the best way to form sentences, expand your vocabulary and express ideas. The goal is to speak Italian as much as possible or even exclusively. We can let the conversation lead us or you can tell me in advance if you have specific requests for topics you'd like to explore. I think making mistakes is the best way to learn so if you want I can send you a review sheet after the lesson. Please, refer to italki policy for cancellations or reschedules of lessons.

Another successful lesson with Flavia! I always feel successful after my lesson and motivated to continue working with her. She is so patient and positive and gives me ample time to think and respond. I highly recommend Flavia as a tutor to help you with your Italian language journey.

Flavia and I have completed almost 60 lessons together. She is a patient, kind, and expert Italian teacher. Flavia is fluent in Italian and English, but we hardly ever talk in English in our lessons. She does a great job of tailoring the lesson to my skill level, and speaking in Italian as much as possible. She is also great at increasing the difficulty level of the lesson as I have gained more experience with the language. She makes it just a little bit harder each time, by introducing new words or grammar concepts, that challenge me just enough, but still leave me feeling accomplished at the end of the lesson. Lessons on iTalki are the number one reason for my improved ability to speak Italian, and I attribute most of that to Flavia and her incredible teaching skills. If you are looking for an Italian teacher, don't hesitate anymore, choose Flavia!

Flavia est une prof souriante et très sympathique avec qui je me suis sentie directement à l’aise. J’ai commencé à étudier l’italien à l’aide d’outils numériques il y a deux mois et lors de cette leçon d’essai sur Italki, mon but était d’avoir pour la première fois une vraie conversation avec une personne. On peut dire que c’était une belle réussite car même si j’ai certainement fait plein d’erreurs, j’ai vraiment parlé. Au fil de nos questions - réponses sur des sujets diverses, une vraie discussion s’est développée. Nous n’avons pas parlé de plans de prochaines leçons comme ce n’était pas mon souhait de planifier un thème précis pour le moment.
