A highly enthusiastic and dedicated tutor, I am a native Italian speaker from a wonderful region called Le Marche. Itβs been 7 years since I first discovered freelance teaching, and I have tutored over 300 students from all over the world. When I am off the screen, I work as an Operations Manager in a Travel Agency, I play the accordion (total Italian stereotype, isnβt it?), dance salsa and listen to sertanejo music.
Me as a Teacher
I attended an Italian Liceo Classico, a school emphasizing on the learning of Italian Literature, Latin and Ancient Greek, as means to deeply understand modern Italian grammar and acquire a vast vocabulary.
My first goal will be to identify the best teaching method for you, understand your passions and what motivates you, in order to provide the best tailor-made learning experience.
I do believe that a language should be spoken from day one; hence I keep all my lessons highly interactive and captivating.

Lina was very excited and willing to help me learn. Being a complete beginner to Italian I was a little nervous about attending but Lina created such a fun environment that I ended up having a ton of fun. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Italian.

A very good lesson with Lina! She encouraged me to speak entirely in Italian and she put up with all my errors while gently correcting them when necessary. She is very patient, funny, and encouraging. I also really appreciated that she typed out all the words and expressions with which I struggled so that I could practice them aloud with her, and also so that I can go back and review them. I would highly recommend her, and I look forward to our next lesson! Grazie mille, Lina! Alla prossima!

What a wonderful first lesson! It has been such great fun to work with Lina, already in love with her energy and spirit. Not only is she well prepared, but also covers cultural topics like Italian movies while having a laugh. She gave me practical suggestions to improve my speaking capabilities in between classes. Really looking forward to my next lesson :) Highly recommend booking a class with her and see for yourself.
