Patient and knowledgeable Native Italian Language and Culture Teacher

Eva P.

Ciao! My name is Eva, and I was born and raised in Rome, Italy. With over 10 years of teaching experience in schools, a bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology, and an ACTFL Superior Certificate in Italian, I bring both expertise and passion to every lesson. Now based in Florida, I hold an active teaching license in World Language Italian and Social Science.
My teaching style is dynamic, interactive, and student-centered. I combine communicative and task-based methods with cultural immersion, so learners not only study Italian but also experience it. Whether through role-play, storytelling, or real-life tasks like ordering in a café or planning a trip to Rome, I make learning fun, practical, and memorable.
I believe language comes alive when it is connected to culture, so I incorporate Italy’s traditions, art, food, and daily life to keep students motivated and inspired. Patient, flexible, and approachable, I create an engaging environment where students feel supported as they build fluency and confidence.
When I’m not teaching, I enjoy painting, cooking, reading, going to the gym, and spending time with my family. I often share these interests with my students to enrich their learning experience and make it even more meaningful. Let's embark on this exciting journey together!
