About the teacher

Ciao:) I'm Olivia, a native Italian teacher from Florence, now based in Modica, Sicily.

I hold a Master's Degree in teaching Italian as a second language and the CEDILS certification. For over the past 15 years, I have taught Italian worldwide: from the Italian Cultural Institute (IIC) of Beirut to private schools in Florence and Prague, corporate classes in Malta, and hundreds of private students in presence and online.

My Teaching Approach:

• Tailored & Flexible: I adapt completely to your rhythm, needs, and goals.

• Communicative Method: We will focus on real-life conversation using varied, engaging materials.

• Passionate: Having studied multiple languages myself (French, Spanish, and Oriental languages), I can better understand the challenges in learning a new language.

Whether you want to learn online or in presence here in Modica (and surroundings), my aim is to make you confident and enthusiastic about speaking Italian :)
