LISA | Teacher
Hi everyone, my name is Lisa and I am from Rome. I have been teaching Italian in Bologna for ten years. I am a spontaneous and curious person. I really enjoy listening to other people’s opinions and talking about everything. According to me, the most important part when I am preparing lessons is to make it interesting and include different topics so everyone can participate and most importantly have FUN while learning Italian.
FRANCESCA | Teacher
Dear Italian lovers, I am Francesca, an enthusiastic teacher with Sicilian blood and a world citizen-heart. When I was twenty I left my island to collect experiences all over Europe, especially in Germany, Austria and France, where I studied and worked in the field of Linguistics, Language and Literature Education and Human Rights. The core of my teaching method lies in the students’ motivation, which is the key of a productive learning process. I love communicating in all possible ways, observing humanity, having breakfast and watching the sunset. Listening to Pino Daniele’s music while eating sfincione (a Sicilian kind of pizza) is what I call home.
NADIA | Teacher
Hi everyone, my name is Nadia and I’m a 23-year-old girl from Tuscany, I’ve been living in Modena these last 5 years though, where I completed my degree in Foreign Languages. During my university years I’ve been an Erasmus student as well, which is why I feel at ease with international environments and students. I’ve always had a passion for teaching italian to other people, that’s why in 2020 I’ve joined the ESN (Erasmus Student Network) to teach the Italian language to erasmus students.
