Interest topicTravelReadingMusicFood
Ciao, I'm Alessia, I'm 30 and I'm currently located Brindisi in the beautiful Puglia region (the heel of our boot👢 ).
I've studied Chinese and Linguistics in London - where I lived for 3 years- and currently I'm studying Cultural Anthropology. I started to teach Italian in 2015 in China, where I lived for a year, and took a teaching certification in 2020 in Italy.
I am a passionate reader, a foodie and wine lover and I love discovering new music.
My goal is to make your journey into the Italian language as enjoyable as possible and help you to achieve your goals.
*** Please notice that I'll have some spots for new students in January 2025 ***

Me as a Teacher
I'm a student-centered teacher , meaning that I put you and your needs at the center of my lesson plan.
As a language learner myself, I know that learning a new language can be tough and frustrating at times so I try to put this awareness into my teaching. I like to encourage my students and guide them during their learning process.
My lessons & teaching style
I will take into account your personal interests and try to put those interests into our lessons. I like using different material - depending also on the language level of the student - such as textbooks, short movies, music, audio material, grammar textbook, games, flashcards and so on.
Of course my teaching style can vary a lot depending on the student's needs and goals.

Alessia è davvero una brava insegnante. Dopo più di un anno con lei conosco molti informazioni, e ogni lezione divento una persona che parla e capisce italiano bene!

I've been meeting with Alessia weekly for about six months as a beginner. She is unfailingly patient with my mistakes and always finds another way to explain something when I don't understand. I can see my progress in understanding Italian. I still have a long way to go and hope to continue the journey with Alessia pointing the way.

My first lesson with Alessia was great! I felt she is patient and comfortable. I really like her teaching style. I am looking forward to taking more lessons with Alessia! I would encourage anyone that wants to learn or improve in their Italian to work with Alessia!

Great first lesson with Alessia :)
She was understanding and allowed me to make mistakes without feeling embarrassed. That’s something I always look for in a teacher. It’s encouragement :)
