Learn Italian the right way!

Hi, I’m Cristina, a professional Italian teacher with years of experience.

I can help you build your confidence if you’re a beginner or bring your Italian to the next level if you’re already familiar with the language.

Start speaking from day one with the right method!

What my students are saying

Cristina did a great job making the lesson engaging and fun. She was patient and helpful when I had questions. I highly recommend her as a teacher.

I really look forward to my weekly lessons with Cristina, she is an excellent teacher. Her encouragement and enthusiasm really builds confidence and each week I feel like I am improving, sometimes in small ways, sometimes in big leaps. I know my level of Italian would not be where it is now if I didn't have her help. Grazie un milione Cristina. 😀

I have been a student of Cristina's for about nearly two years. I take regular lessons once a week and it really makes a difference: I’ve become more confident in the use and pronunciation of the language, and my Italian has improved immensely. I can express myself more precisely and make fewer grammatical mistakes. If you are looking for a fun and varied way to learn Italian and caring about real progress, Cristina is the answer. I wouldn’t want to do without her.

Another great lesson! If you are wondering whether you should book a lesson with Cristina, don't hesitate! She is a great teacher, always positive, supportive, and knowledgeable. I'm learning lots of interesting and useful words and phrases and how to use them properly. I look forward to our next lesson. Thank you, Cristina! 🙂

Très bonne leçon comme d'habitude, nous avons parlé d'une vidéo très intéressante qui dépeint notre société et ensuite d'un article sur Pompéi et pour finir nous avons parlé de la superstition dans le sud de l'Italie et plus particulièrement à Naples. Merci beaucoup Cristina. Abbiamo parlato di un video molto interessante che tratta della nostra società e poi di un articolo su Pompei. Grazie a te Cristina e ci vediamo la settimana prossima.

How I can help you in your Italian learning journey.

I have a strong background in education (Didactics, Communication) and extensive teaching experience (I have been teaching in language schools since 2005, and online since 2019).
I have a true passion for teaching languages and I’m always investigating the best teaching techniques and adapt them to the student’s language learning experience, goals, needs and preferred learning style.

I have attended many webinars about teaching Italian as a foreign language such as:

Film and teaching: How to use film in a lesson.
Playful teaching in the Classroom and Online.
Intermediate and advanced level input: which ones to propose and how.
The Power of Input.
Learning is difficult. Teaching is Too!
Neurolinguistics in the Classroom.
Culture, civilization, interculture: What can be useful and motivating for foreign students?

I hold a CEDILS certification of competence in teaching Italian as a Foreign Language issued by Cà Foscari University of Venice. The Certificazione in Didattica dell Italiano a Stranieri is an internationally recognised certification that aims to demonstrate mastery of the Italian language, Italian culture and my teaching skills.

PASSIONATE

I'm truly passionate about teaching and helping my students to achieve their Italian learning goals. My passion is what guides my business.

PERSONALIZED APPROACH

We all learn in different ways. We all have different interests. Instead of offering a prepackaged product I enjoy creating and tailoring my lessons to your needs.

INTERACTIVE

I believe in an interactive, fun, and communicative approach. I believe that the most important thing is to put the student at the center of learning.
