Our Teachers in Milan

I am the course coordinator at Linguadue. I have always liked to meet international people. In all these years each student has offered us a piece of his or her world and its culture. It is like a never ending journey through habits, mentality and traditions!

The work at Linguadue is varied and interesting and we all share the same curiosity about our students and where they come from. I love films and making travel arrangements, but I like travelling most! We look forward to meeting you at Linguadue.

I have a degree in foreign languages and literature and I have been working in at Linguadue for several years. I love to teach my language and make known to many people and my country my culture. What I particularly like about my job is the opportunity to meet students from many countries around the world and come into contact with very different cultures. I love travelling and I love the sea.

I have always looked for a job based on relationships and, after several work experiences in various areas, which have enriched my professional and human experience, I finally found what I have been looking for in teaching Italian language and culture. I have been working at Linguadue for 15 years, but for me, being in a classroom is as special as the first day. It is a deeply authentic dimension where all of us, teachers and students, learn from each other. During the lessons very important things happen: we meet, discuss, learn about habits, attitudes, behaviors, characteristics, cultures of other countries and, especially of other people. Away from stereotypes and bias.

At one point in my life I felt the need to cross the beautiful mountains surrounding the village where I was born to find out what was beyond them. In order to achieve this , it was necessary to learn languages. I graduated in Japanese Studies at the University of Venice and after I began to travel. During my travels I have discovered, however, that not many things were known about Italy except Nutella, Del Piero and the Coliseum ... I then decided that I had to teach people about other aspects of this wonderful country. Teaching language and culture, I felt was the perfect job to meet the world and to convey my knowledge and passion for Italy’s beauty.

The idea of being a teacher of Italian sprang from a strong personal need to find a well defined job which focuses on the two most important things to me: to put into practice the linguistic competences acquired during my studies and to deal daily with people from different cultures. 
I do this job from both a professional and human perspective, always open to experimenting with new kinds of educational methods. I enjoy working with a large variety of students and learning more about their cultures, while inspiring them to learn more about the Italian culture and language. They usually like my Tiramisù!
