Hi everyone, I am Anna and I am a professional Italian teacher for foreigners. I come from Venice where I live and work. I can help you in the study of modern Italian as it is really spoken nowadays. I am a bilingual Italian and English teacher and a freelance translator at Ca' Foscari University in Venice. I completed the ITALS Master's degree for teaching Italian language and culture to foreigners. My field of specialization and current research is Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics to better understand what happens in our brains and minds when we study a foreign language and what emotions are involved. I specialize in teaching adults and seniors and am currently studying in a Psychology course at Yale University. I also have a CEDILS certification to teach Italian culture abroad. I have been teaching Italian and English since 2004. I work with students from diverse backgrounds and my classes are for anyone who wants to improve and deepen communication, grammar, vocabulary and reading.
I always pay attention to your needs no matter what your level is. We will work on your confidence because we are all students and I know how difficult it is when you can't find the words to express what you are thinking and feeling. My lessons are all customizable because I think every student is different and has their own personal way of learning. I will be so happy to work with you and help you reach your goals.
I am also a podcaster, the host of "Una Storia ItaliAnna," a podcast channel you can find here on LanguaTalk at the podcast page. You can also visit my YouTube channel and buy my books on Amazon to practice the Italian language.
When I am not teaching, I travel. I lived in London for a while and also in Liverpool while I was writing my dissertation. I also speak Spanish, so I am also a language student and understand very well how difficult it is to study a language.
So what are you waiting for? Book a trial lesson and we'll figure out together how I can help you!

Anna has the patience of a saint! Not often, but sometimes my days make me foggy and I'm not as prepared as I'd like to be for the session. Anna understands and generously adjusts without any judgement! It then becomes a very productive session, regardless. In that way, and many other ways, she's an exceptional tutor!!

Anna is a wonderful and joyful tutor! Extremely patient and encouraging. She explains things very concisely and very clearly, so it's easy to quickly grasp concepts that before seemed confusing. Anna has a warm and welcoming manner, and it's very clear how much she enjoys helping others (especially great when you're feeling clumsy speaking). I can't recommend Anna highly enough!
