Ciao! I am a certified Italian native teacher with many years of experience around the globe.
I started to teach in 2010 and I can say that this profession is my passion.
I speak Turkish, French and English at an advanced level.
I offer general Italian lessons and speaking lessons. Being a certified CILS examiner, I can also help you to pass CELI and CILS exams. I have many years of experience teaching kids.
Let me bring you to the next level and beyond with structured, engaging, tailored and interactive lessons.
I will give you an insight on how Italian language works, you will progress steadily and quickly, having fun and learning many things about Italian culture.
Your motivation will be high and within a short time you will see big improvements.
I have a communicative approach: we study a language to communicate with people and to travel so, my main objective, is to make you able to speak fluently and to sound like a native.
I am a professional and dedicated teacher: I will coach and support you every step of the way to become fully competent and confident to communicate in Italian.
After we've established your level of Italian, we will discuss your needs and expectations, and I’ll show you how my teaching expertise can help you become the best Italian speaker you can be.
I can give you insights into Italian culture and teach you idiomatic expressions that will make you sound natural.
Hope to see you soon :)

Donatella is a wonderful teacher. She’s incredibly enthusiastic and encouraging, and very patient when I need extra help with grammar. I learn a lot every lesson and I feel like I’m improving even faster than I hoped I would. She’s a brilliant teacher and I look forward to every lesson.

Donatella is amazingly patient with my 13yr old son. Quite frankly, he's a normal teenage boy, and studying does not fill him with joy. But Donatella really gets him engaged and thinking, and despite his best efforts, he is enjoying his Italian lessons. Looking forward to watching my son mature and learn his native language with Donatella's support.

Donatella is patient and very skilled at guiding my 13 year old son through his revision and studying for exams. He is shy and nervous, but Donatella gets him involved and learning.

My partner started learning Italian with Donnatella and said that I should try a lesson with her. That one lesson was more than enough to convince me to keep her on as a tutor. Donna listens, challenges and encourages, keeping me on track with my exam preparation. She arrives to every lezione well prepared and is a ray of positivity.
