Ciao! :) I am Maria Rosaria and I am a qualified and experienced Italian Language Teacher to Foreigners.
I have a Master's Degree in Foreign Languages and Literature (English and Russian) and, in addition, I got the DITALS Level II Certification to teach Italian Language to foreigners.
I've been teaching Italian to foreigners for 9 years and I worked in private language schools in Italy and abroad.
I am a freelance teacher and teaching is my full-time job. I put all my energies, passion and knowledges given by experience in my work, in order to guarantee fun, interesting and professional classes.
I live in Sicily and I like reading and hiking! :)
Me as a Teacher
I'm an open - minded and patient teacher. I like talking and joking with my students because I want to make them feeling relaxed and comfortable during my lessons.
I taught to students of different nationalities and this experience helped me to understand which are the difficulties in learning the Italian Language. I'm also empathetic because I know how hard and challenging the study of a foreign language is.
My lessons & teaching style
During my lessons I use the communicative method. The student explores the language in real contexts and is active part of the lesson.

Мария прекрасный учитель, она всегда готовится к урокам, объясняет все очень доступно . Благодаря её урокам я прошёл экзамен Cils уровень B2 и свободно общаюсь на итальянском. Кроме того она очень приятный и доброжелательный человек и вдобавок говорит по русски .
