About The Roman Teacher

*Note: I’m currently only available on weekday mornings, so feel free to get in touch if that works for you!* Ciao! I am an Italian (born and raised in Rome!) teacher and a sound/video artist. I have been teaching Italian for the past sixteen years, both privately and at institutions like the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago. I have an advanced degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures from the Università Roma Tre in Rome. For beginners I like using structured lessons. I work with the wonderful e-book Dieci (Alma Edizioni) and the online platform Blinklearning. During the first few lessons I will make sure you have the tools to pronounce and identify all the sounds of the Italian language. This step is essential! And it will make everything easier afterwards. When I teach Italian I avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling. When you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and learn. I will customize my materials to your interests, needs and desired pace. And because you are learning from a native Italian you will also learn about Italian culture and history. You will absorb a way of thinking, not just grammar rules. I live between the US, Italy and the Netherlands. At the moment I can only offer online lessons!

All I can say is....WHERES HER VACCINE?! SHES PHENOMENAL! SHES WORTH EVERY EURO AND SHOULD CHARGE DOUBLE! BUT....I'm poor so I appreciate it even more. If I could I'd give her quadruple the amount PER HOUR!

I'm looking forward to my first lesson with her. She was very professional in her responses.
