Ciao! I am Anna and I live in Italy but I spent several periods abroad in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Germany, to study (Erasmus in Paris) and to work (internship at the European Commission in Brussels). I speak English, French, a bit of Spanish and I studied Hindi, Latin and Ancient Greek. I like to talk about actual news, cross cultural differences, society, psychology and also about history and art of Italy.
Me as a Teacher
I am a certified teacher (I obtained the DITALS certification from the University for foreigners of Siena) and I have experience with one-to-one lessons both in presence and online, with adults of many nationalities and with teenagers and children. I studied at the Liceo classico (studying Italian literature, Latin and ancient greek language and literature) and then I studied international law at the university of Milan. I also have experience in courses of preparation of CELI and CILS exams, mainly to foreigners who apply for Italian citizenship.
My lessons & teaching style
I usually elaborate personalized courses, based on your needs and interests. Therefore courses can be very different (more focused on grammar or conversation or other needs) and I work a lot on the choice of materials to address your interests. In general, I diversify the teaching techniques as much as possible and I propose activities and games in the perspective of learning by doing and by playing games, which I consider very valid methods of teaching.

After taking lessons with many Italian teachers online, I must say that Anna is one of the most professional and dedicated teachers I’ve had. She has been helping me prepare for my B2 CELI exam, and thanks to her guidance, I feel much more confident in my Italian speaking skills.
Each lesson, Anna provides me with practice exercises and tasks similar to those in the CELI B2 test to help me become more familiar with the exam format. She offers feedback on how to improve whilst also creating a comfortable and supportive learning environment.
Since Anna is a highly sought-after teacher, her time slots tend to fill up quickly, so I’d recommend booking lessons in advance. :)

Un’altra lezione perfecto! I am stuck in the Azores, and there’s nothing like a great Italian lesson to brighten my day.
