Anna F
Certified Italian teacher with 20 years of experience
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 and Spotify or iTunes. You can also visit my YouTube channel and if you want to download the transcript of my podcasts, visit the website Buy Me a Coffe / Una Storia ItaliAnna
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!

After a year and a half learning with Anna to me she is an intuitive and natural teacher with endless patience and kindness. Very inspiring. Plus she has the training and background to go along with that. Thank you.

I am a new student of Anna's and really like that we are working from several different books and pdf's which allows me to read, write, and listen in Italian. My lessons are interesting, engaging, and spoken in Italian, which has been great practice. It takes time for new words to be cemented into memory, so the repetition and review has been crucial for me. Anna is patient, speaks clearly, and explains new grammar in an easy to grasp manner.

It was so good, you have no idea, Anna has more patience and kindness, on top of being a subbed teacher. Anna has a calming effect. She know me when I start upset or flustered and can wipe it away in less tan a minute, I can be nothing but grateful , Beatrice
