Ciao! I’m Claudia — a DITALS-certified Italian teacher, TEFL-certified English teacher, and professional language coach with years of international experience.
Born in Milan, I’ve lived in Portland, Dublin, and Sydney, experiences that shaped my global mindset and my passion for real communication across cultures.
I help students unlock Italian and English with clarity and confidence through:
• dynamic group courses,
• focused 1:1 lessons,
• and personalized learning plans built around your goals.
My approach is practical, friendly, and results-driven.
Ready to turn your language goals into a real-life adventure?
Let me guide you.Me as a Teacher
Before becoming a teacher, I was just like you: a student who had to learn a new language.
I know exactly how you feel and I know you're afraid of making mistakes. Been there, done that, but guess what? I MADE IT, so can you! My lessons & teaching style
All my lessons are completely tailored to my students' needs. During the trial lesson, I'll have the chance to assess your level, strengths and weaknesses, and final goal. I'll design a training path for you and find out which techniques and methods maximize your learning. Anyways, no worries: we can always have an open conversation about which learning style you prefer.My teaching material

Took my first Italian lesson ever and chose Claudia as my first teacher. I got so lucky, because she was the perfect choice. She was personable and professional. The class struck a balance between being extremely fun and engaging, but also productive and progressing. She masterfully simplified complex concepts and made the language seem way less daunting. She kept a high energy throughout the lesson that managed to feel also calming, which isn't an easy task in my opinion. I'm confident in her approach and feel immensely reassured in my pursuit in learning Italian. If you're a beginner or never attempted to learn Italian before, I highly recommend Claudia, as she is incredible at teaching the fundamentals of the language in a way that makes you feel prepared to continue and dive completely in. I would've booked my next session immediately after if I wasn't so excited to leave a review first. I wish the class didn't have to end. Don't wait, BOOK A CLASS WITH CLAUDIA NOW! Ciao

Claudia is a professional bilingual teacher with patients. She waited for me to figure out and supported to get a right answer. I'm excited to take her lesson next time.

I enjoyed this lesson so much! I want to practice conversation. I had a really interesting, fun chat with Claudia, and she was excellent at giving feedback and helping me without breaking the flow of the conversation.
