About Me
italki teacher since Oct 28, 2016InterestsFoodReadingEnvironment & NaturePets & AnimalsTravel
I have been teaching Italian for over 10 years, both in-person and online, including experience at the university level. I speak Italian, Spanish, English, and Swedish, which allows me to support students with diverse linguistic backgrounds. In addition to teaching, I work as a translator. I hold degrees in Psychology and Languages, and my approach focuses on creating engaging and personalized lessons to help students achieve their language goals effectively.Me as a Teacher
My teaching style is dynamic and student-centered, focusing on communication, cultural immersion, and personalized lessons to make learning both effective and enjoyable. What I love most about teaching languages is meeting people from diverse cultural backgrounds—an experience I find incredibly enriching.My lessons & teaching style
My main goal is to help students start speaking as soon as possible. That’s why my lessons are highly focused on conversation, allowing students to gain confidence and fluency naturally. I pay close attention to vocabulary building and context, ensuring that learners can express themselves effectively in real-life situations. I also love incorporating cultural elements into my lessons because a language is never just grammar—it’s also culture, history, and ways of thinking. Learning Italian with me means immersing yourself in both the language and the rich cultural world that comes with it.My teaching material

Alessandra was fantastic: encouraging, supportive and very patient, as usual. We talked about a lot of things and she helped me with a book I had difficulties with. I highly recommend Alessandra as a teacher! Grazie ancora per la lezione! A domani :)

Alessandra is extremely helpful as a teacher for anyone learning Italian. I would definitely recommend her lessons. She can direct the lesson for you, but is also able to tailor them to something specific as you ask questions.

Really great lesson. Alessandra is always encouraging and makes it easy for the student to speak. She is very good at identifying what you need to learn next, and she has a comprehensive knowledge of online resources for homework and extra study.
