Ciao
Let me introduce myself
I'm a language coach… and much more.
I don't do everything perfectly, but I put heart and curiosity into everything I choose to do.
I speak English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and French (a little), and Sardinian (I try!). I've always described myself as a "language person"— I love languages and everything that surrounds them: the culture, the people, the stories.
I have been and will always be a Latin American dancer.
When I'm not teaching, you can find me climbing, kitesurfing, doing yoga or walking in nature, playing the guitar (badly) or looking for places away from the city to have picnics with friends and people who cross my path.
My story
I’ve danced all my life, and for two years I even taught Latin American dance.
I studied Languages (English and German) at the University of Cagliari, my hometown. Afterwards, I began traveling and working in the cruise industry — an experience that truly opened up new horizons.
In 2018, I made the decision to leave that job at sea and return to my roots in Sardinia, an island at the heart of the Mediterranean.
After graduating, in early 2020, I started teaching Italian to non-native speakers. That’s when I discovered not just a passion for teaching, but also a real vocation.
I continued my training in language teaching (glottodidactics) at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice. Since then, I’ve worked with around 90 students, guiding them through both short- and long-term learning journeys.
My work
What makes my approach unique is that I’ve experienced the process myself: I learned languages through daily use, real practice, travel experiences, and human connections.
To teach my own native language, I had to relearn Italian: study its rules, exceptions, and hidden patterns. I needed to understand how to teach it, not just use it. And that meant really listening to the person in front of me: their needs, their cultural and linguistic background, their unique way of experiencing language.
This led me to develop a teaching method that is both practical and natural, combining linguistic foundations with an inductive coaching approach centered on conversation.
My lessons today are the result of years of practice and experimentation.
I use a communicative-inductive method. You learn how Italian works and how to use it without even noticing: learn by doing.
All this, through the DOGME approach.
