About us
WHO WE ARE
Chiaratheitalianteacher was born from the idea of Chiara and Fabio, two creative minds who collaborate to find always new and fun teaching methods, able to satisfy needs of every type of student.
Your italian teachers
Chiara
My name is Chiara and I am a native Italian teacher.
I obtained a degree in Sociology in 2001 and, after working for a few years as educator and carrying out voluntary work with adults and children seeking asylum, I began to develop a passion for teaching Italian language and obtained a Master’s degree in Teaching Italian as a second language at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan.
For several years I have been collaborating with university institutes, language schools and companies planning and teaching Itallian language in intensive and individual courses, both face too face and online.
“In addition to teaching Italian, I teach: kindness, self-esteem, that every mistake is useful, to have fun while studying and that everyone can do it, with commitment and consistency, speaking Italian just like me."
Fabio
My name is Fabio and I am a native Italian teacher.
After graduating from high school, I studied at Scuola Superiore D’Arte Applicata in Milan, and for many years I worked as a cartoonist and illustrator.
After meeting Chiara, I started to run Italian workshops with her for foreign children using drawing as integral part of education. I collaborate with some non-profit companies and voluntary groups planning courses aimed at school children and young people of all levels of education in Milan.
For chiaratheitalianteacher.com I take care in particular of conversation courses, courses for children and I create cartoons for our social pages.
“Drawing and comics are my main allies in helping students learn a new language, having fun and using creativity and imagination, to overcome the fear of not being able to speak a new language!"
