Ciao, sono Paola! I am a certified Italian language teacher with professional training from the University for Foreigners of Perugia (DILS-PG) and the University for Foreigners of Siena (DITALS Digitale). Over the years, I have worked with a wide range of learners (adults, young adults, heritage speakers, and complete beginners) helping them build solid skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
My teaching experience includes both structured courses and individualized lessons, in person and online. I have taught Italian to immigrants, expats, and international learners, which has allowed me to develop an adaptable, clear, and supportive approach. I focus on practical communication, cultural awareness, and step-by-step confidence building, always tailoring lessons to each student’s goals and learning style.
In addition to my Italian-teaching background, I also volunteer as an English literacy instructor for adult learners. This experience has strengthened my ability to explain language in simple, accessible ways and to create a positive learning environment. My goal is to help every student feel comfortable, motivated, and fully engaged as they progress in Italian.
