About Me
Dedicated Italian Teacher
Ciao belli!
I am Lucia, an Italian native speaker born in Turin, Piedmont. After graduating from the University of Turin (Italy) in 2008 with an M.A. in German/English- Italian translation, I found my passion in teaching. I passed additionally the DITALS II exam, a certificate qualifying me to teach Italian to Non-Native speakers. After gathering some experience in Rome in 2008, I pursued my career abroad: first in Germany, then in the UK, in Sydney and finally in Brisbane. Over the past 13 years I have been teaching Italian to several separate classes which included a wide-range of levels (A1 to C1) and to students of all ages, including children and seniors. Furthermore I have been keeping myself updated through the years attending several seminars and webinars promoted from different publishers to always provide the best and modern teaching methods to my students.

My Mission
LEARN THROUGH FUN! I provide a personalised instruction based on the students interests. My strong point is delivering entertaining lessons with many didactic games, Italian songs, role-plays, culture and traditions activities or watching an Italian short film ensuring time runs away without the students realising it. I teach with energy and enthusiasm. I would like the students to understand that a language is not an abstract subject that you study in books and dictionaries, but also something which is alive, used by real people for communication.
