Ciao!I am a certified native Italian teacher with many years of experience around the globe. I started teaching in 2010, and I can say that this profession is my passion. Let me bring you to the next level and beyond with structured, engaging, tailored, and interactive lessons. I will give you an insight into how the Italian language works. You will progress steadily and quickly, having fun and learning about Italian culture. Your motivation will be high, and within a short time, you will see significant improvements. I have a communicative approach: we study a language to communicate with people and to travel. So, my main objective is to make you able to speak fluently and sound native.

This has been an incredible experience. She is truly amazing, always clear in her explanations, attentive to my progress, and genuinely celebrates every success I achieve. Donatella encouragement motivates me to keep improving. Donatella consistently provides valuable information and enriches our lessons with additional materials that make learning both effective and enjoyable. Homework is always meaningful, and she takes the time to go over any doubts I have with patience and care. Her style is engaging and supportive. I feel lucky to that I choose the correct one !

Each lesson I have with Donatella is always extremely insightful, educational, and beneficial. I am always learning so many new things about the Italian language and culture. Also, her teaching techniques are incredibly effective. I am now able to have conversations about many different topics with my family and friends! If you want to start sounding like a native Italian, you should check her out!

Donatella è un'ottima insegnante che lavora sempre per creare delle lezioni secondo ai bisogni degli studenti. Mi ha aiutato con il mio vocabolario e la grammatica per provare la sfida dell'esame di CILS B2, sempre pensando delle mie competenze e difficoltà. Ha delle idee diverse per ogni lezioni e ha fatto uno sforzo per veramente conoscermi. Ho imparato tanto della lingua e la cultura italiana con Donatella e mi sono divertita moltissimo. Grazie mille Donatella!!!

Donatella has been helping me prepare for an upcoming CILS exam and has been so incredibly helpful in helping me correct my errors and working on my weakest errors. She understands how the exam works and what I need to work on to pass the exam and improve my Italian. The lessons are always very useful and productive. I would highly recommend working with Donatella especially if you are trying to pass a CILS exam.
