About Me

My name is Angela, I’m Italian from Bologna, where I graduated in Italian Studies. I have lived in Greece for many years and I teach Italian as a Foreign Language in private schools. I speak French and a bit of English. I love contemporary fiction, writing, and walking — all of which inspire my teaching.
I work with teenagers preparing for certifications and adults who want to learn Italian quickly for travel or communication. My lessons are practical, progressive, and personalized, without unnecessary grammar. I adapt to each student’s rhythm and use authentic materials to make the language meaningful and enjoyable.
Parafrasando Vinicius de Moraes dico: la lezione è l'arte dell'incontro
I teach the Italian language especially to teenagers who want to obtain certifications up to advanced levels and to adults who intend to acquire in a short time, with accelerated courses, knowledge on the language in order to travel and communicate with a minimum of autonomy in Italy.Based on the needs of the student, I organize lessons at progressive learning of the language without weighing it down with too many grammatical references. I focus my attention on the student's times and ways of learning to find an empathic mode. I am convinced that you learn easily and better by stimulating the student's curiosity.

Angela, carissima, mi ha colpito la tua generosità e gentilezza, il tuo senso dell'umorismo e l'empatia mostrata nei confronti di mio papà. Sei straordinaria, grazie di cuore per questa lezione e per tutto!! Un abbraccio forte forte!

Listening to my episode, she corrected my Italian well and introduces what I would be interested (from my episode).
Very good to keep my motivation / interest up and running!

I wholeheartedly recommend Angela to everyone who wants to learn Italian. She’s knowledgeable, passionate, energetic, extremely helpful, and supremely accommodating. I especially like the fact that Angela comes prepared for every single lesson and constantly surprises me with the variety of topics and exercises, which help me continuously with my progress. What’s equally important is that Angela is an excellent motivator, and also a very sensible person. She knows exactly when to continue pressing on a specific topic, or when it is time to switch gears.
I can honestly state that I’m looking forward to each and every lesson with Angela, and I’m very grateful for the enthusiasm she inserts into every single interaction.
