Vanessa Schiavone

Hello! My name is Vanessa!

I am a native Italian teacher, a graduate in Italian Didactics and Linguistics from the University of Siena. For over 6 years, I have taught Italian in Italy and abroad to foreign students and professionals alike. My lessons in private and public schools, and through online one-on-one sessions, have helped Italian students improve their language skills.

I teach Italian with motivation and dedication, and design stimulating tailored lessons. I believe stimulated students are the ones who improve faster and achieve their goals more effectively and efficiently. That's why I strongly support adaptive learning as a teaching method, which adapts learning material to individual needs. Most importantl, learning MUST be fun. Rather than focusing only on grammar, the lessons will involve entertaining topics that encourage active speaking, give Italian cultural insights, and discussions on various topics such as music and art.
