Italian certified native teacher/Profe de Italiano nativa certificada - MA in Linguistics My name is Erica and I am 28. I come from a tiny village (in italian we say: "un paesino") on the north Adriatic Coast of Italy in the province of Ferrara. I have been living for 4 years in Bologna where I gained my MA in Linguistics. I am quite into sports: I play volleyball. I like swimming, surfing and doing yoga. I also love literature and in my spare time, I read tons of books. I speak Spanish and English fluently, I also speak German at a good level. In my life I have moved to various cities and countries. I have lived in Spain (Madrid, Las Palmas, Lanzarote) in Germany (Hamburg) and in Austria (Innsbruck). I recently moved back to Italy and I am currently based in Bologna. I am a passionate teacher, I trust my students and when preparing a class I always try to focus on them, on their interests and goals. I think to student and teacher as a team with a common goal: being able to use the target language to communicate with native speakers in real life situations. My teaching approach highly values strategies to enhance learning motivation. I like reading and discovering what's happening in the World and in my country, so I am always looking for authentic materials to bring to class. I'm also interested in history, psichology, anthropology and literature and I try to share what I find interesting with my students. Speaking is a huge component of my classes since the first goal for someone who wants to learn a new language is to communicate with native speakers...

Erica is simply the best! I enjoy every single lesson with her. She makes me feel comfortable speaking Italian. To the point where I want to keeping talking! Best teacher ever :)

Erica is a great teacher! She slowly gets you speaking Italian without a ton of pressure. We end up moving through the lessons with a little of everything, speaking the language, hearing and writing.

È sempre difficile scegliere un professore giusto per te, ma quando il professore è per tua figlia di 11 anni è ancora più difficile. Ero convinto che dopo alcune lezioni mia figlia si sarebbe stancata dell'italiano, ma dopo più di 10 lezioni, sta accadendo il contrario, e ama le sue lezioni di italiano. E tutto questo è grazie a Erica, una bravissima insegnante! Grazie!

Fantastic class. I'm just beginning in Italian, and feel so grateful to have found Erica. She is passionate about teaching, and obviously loves what she does, which makes it a total pleasure to be taught by her. She's creative, spontaneous, organized, great materials, and very very good at what she does. I love our classes. Thank you Erica! Ciao!
