Idilia
Experienced Italian Teacher - "DITALS I" and "DITALS II" certified
Ciao a tutti! I am a native Italian speaker, experienced and bilingual. I have been teaching Italian to students of all ages and backgrounds for many years now and I LOVE my job, it is pleasure to share my knowledge of my native language and culture with my students! I graduated (Magna Cum Laude) from the “Università degli Studi di Pisa†(Italy) in 2006, and, after attending the "Corso di formazione per insegnanti di italiano L2" from the Istituto Linguistico Mediterraneo (Pisa, Italy) fo...

I felt great about being capable to learn. Idilia adjusted to my learning abilities rather than push the curriculum down my throat in an hour. Asked about my goals and the reason as to why I want to learn Italian. My concern was "Can I learn?" and now I feel "She can teach me!"

Idilia is a great teacher! She's patient and helpful. I feel like she works around my pace, my needs, my strengths and weaknesses and at the same time pushes me to learn more and expand my limits! She's amazing!

Idilia was wonderful! She is not only a native speaker, but one who understands the art of teaching in a way that is fun and rewarding. She gave me confidence and lots of handy techniques that were useful during my recent trip to Italy. I'm looking forward to scheduling my next lesson with her!

Idilia has been working on helping me improve my listening and speaking skills. She does this by challenging me to be a risk taker and guiding me to hearing the sounds of the Italian language more accurately. She encourages me to speak and push through my sentences even when I don't know all the words. Idilia is extremely positive. She has taken the time to identify my areas of weakness, and has used my strengths to build on them and grow with the holes in some of my learning over the years. I am so grateful for Idilia's lessons. I look forward to our sessions each week!
