About Me
italki teacher since May 11, 2021InterestsReadingMedical & HealthcareArtScienceFilms & TV Series
Hi! I’m Martina – a native speaker of German and Italian, and an italki teacher since 2021. With a degree in Psychology and a background in research, mental health, and university teaching, I create clear, supportive lessons tailored to you.
I’m passionate about language, culture, film, theater, and science. Whether you’re learning for work, travel, study, or fun – I’ll help you speak with confidence and joy. 😊
⏳ I may occasionally start 5 minutes late, but rest assured, I always make up for the time.
Looking forward to meeting you!Me as a Teacher
I bring curiosity, openness, and flexibility to every lesson – always aiming to tailor our sessions to your unique goals and learning style.
My approach is student-centered: when you're motivated from within, that's when real progress happens – and I'm here to support that journey every step of the way.
Whether you're looking to boost your conversational skills, dive into specific grammar points, or refine your communication for real-world use, I’ll adapt each session to make sure it’s both effective and engaging.My lessons & teaching style
Each lesson is tailored to your goals and learning pace. We begin by assessing your level, language background, and preferred learning methods to create a clear, effective roadmap.
I use Italki Plus or a shared Google Doc to track our progress, grammar points, vocabulary, and exercises.
With a mix of structured materials and proven resources, lessons stay flexible and focused on what matters most to you – whether it’s conversation, grammar, or business communication.
To keep lessons relevant and engaging, I include real-life content like articles, cultural topics, and books. Sessions are structured, yet always adaptable to your needs. 🔄My teaching material

I really enjoy our lessons with Martina! She is very smart, motivating and supportive. I never feel embarrassed of making mistakes at our lessons, and it's very important when you're looking for a good teacher. Thank you Martina! I'll definitely keep having more and more lessons.

I have an intermediate level in Italian and I am interested in improving my “conversational skills”. For me a good teacher is a teacher who can have a good conversation on a subject of interest (to me obviously). Well… that is the case with Martina. She is a Master’s student in Psychology, who speaks 4 languages (German, Italian natively, English, Portuguese, really well). We spoke for an hour about diverse subjects. She is engaging, smart, funny. I’m almost tempted to learn some German with her…. (Just kidding. Perhaps in a few years). Grazie mille Martina.

the lesson format is great for me, because Martina lets me speak a lot and provides me with the main words/concepts that were being said during the lesson

Martina was excellent. She demonstrated very good children skills and was very patient with my child. I like that speaks Portuguese too, since we speak both Portuguese and English at home.
