About Me
italki teacher since Feb 7, 2022InterestsTravelHistoryWritingReadingMusic
My name is Claudia, I am a certified Instructor of Italian as a Second/Foreign Language and a Cultural Facilitator from Italy. I am a CELTA certified Instructor (Cambridge Assessment English) and I teach English as a Second Language to adult learners of any level of proficiency. I am also a California-certified middle/ high school English Language Arts teacher with a Single Subject Teaching credential in ELA and Italian, and an English Learner Authorization.
Being truly keen on languages and literature, I studied Latin, Greek, German, and Spanish; I also collect hundreds of books, read extensively, and travel as much as I can. I have many other passions, such as music and cooking.Me as a Teacher
I have been tutoring both in person and online for almost 13 years. I hold a Master’s degree in Philosophy (History of Philosophy and Ethics) and a Master’s degree in Teaching Italian to foreign learners, a Certificate of Proficiency in English C2 (Cambridge Assessment English), and a CELTA certificate for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I also specialized in English Pedagogy and Teaching Reading at the University of California, Riverside.
As a freelance instructor, I developed my teaching materials and refined my passion for e-learning, online platforms, tools, and technologies. This enabled me to deliver a flexible and tailored learning experience to all my students.My lessons & teaching style
My work experience ranges from Higher Education, to Adult Education and Middle and Elementary Education.
My teaching philosophy centers on the essential integration of language and culture. I believe mastering Italian is not just about acquiring vocabulary and grammar but also about primarily engaging with the rich cultural contexts that shape the language.
So, if you need any help at any level of proficiency with the Italian language, or you need to pass a specific test and obtain a certification, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am here to guide you, support you, and help you succeed in your language-learning journey.My teaching material

Claudia, the best! Absolutely the best! Thanks for letting me know my level of Italian, thanks for sending me material (prep. Work. For next class). , thanks for your professionalism, but above all, thanks for sharing that smile with during the complete lesson.
I need more Stars and more adjectives to describe my experience with Claudia. I’m so glad I came across her profile. She’s the example teaching through motivation.
