I live in Milan, I have a degree in foreign language literature and have a passion for linguistics. Being from Milan, my accent is that from the Milan area.
I enjoy learning about other people's languages and cultures and I'm a language learner myself (so I know the struggle!).
My hobbies include reading fiction novels and essays on everything and anything, watching movies and learning languages.

Me as a Teacher
I'm easy going and I value effort, so no need to stress. I generally don't assign homework but if you'd like me to just tell me and I'll have something ready for you shortly after the lesson.
Note that at this time I do not offer lessons aimed at children nor any translation services.
My lessons & teaching style
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.
The communication tools that we're going to use are Italki Classroom, Skype, or Zoom. But if you have other ones in mind I will consider them.
Please, refer to italki policy for cancellations or reschedules of lessons.

Flavia is a wonderful teacher, she is very patient and supportive! We always end up having fascinating conversations during our lessons. From my lessons with Flavia, I noticed a huge boost in my confidence in speaking Italian, most importantly on a range of topics.

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!

I really enjoyed my lesson with Flavia and she really helped me realise and use words I was not confident with.
I almost feel s though I can talk Italian!!
I'm definitely booking more lessons with Flavia when she is available.
