Psychologist 🧠|12+ Years Tutoring 👩🏼‍🏫|Academic Teaching Experience 📚|German & Italian 🇮🇹|🎭 Hi! I’m Martina – a native German & Italian tutor. I blend psychology, acting techniques, and 12+ years of teaching to make lessons engaging and effective. 🧠🎭 As a former researcher, university teaching assistant, psychologist and acting student, I specialize in helping learners overcome mental blocks and speak with confidence.

I use Italki Plus or a shared Google Doc to track our progress, grammar points, vocabulary, and exercises.

Martina ist eine tolle Italienisch-Lehrerin, die sehr geduldig ist und mir viel Raum zum Sprechen gibt. Hier kann ich ohne Angst die Konversation üben, bekomme viele hilfreiche Tipps und lerne neue Wörter, die sie mir in einem Google-Dokument zur Verfügung stellt. Besonders toll ist es, dass ich mich mit ihr als Psychologin auch über die Arbeit und über spannende psychologische Themen austauschen kann. Nach nur 5 Stunden habe ich schon das Gefühl, dass ich mich sehr verbessert habe und deutlich flüssiger sprechen kann. Und wenn es doch einmal hakt, kann sie mir auch auf Deutsch weiterhelfen oder Dinge erklären, da sie beide Sprachen als Muttersprache kennt. Vielen lieben Dank für den tollen Unterricht!
