About me

I'm a DITALS-certified teacher (from the University for Foreigners of Siena) and have been teaching Italian as a foreign language for over 12 years. I was born in South Tyrol, a border region where German and Italian are intertwined. This multilingual environment has given me a special perspective on the importance and richness of language learning. After my studies in Italy, I worked as a foreign language assistant as part of a European exchange program. This took me to Vienna, where I began my journey in teaching Italian. I have taught in both Austria and Italy, supporting people from diverse backgrounds by learning Italian. I helped them achieve their goals – whether for work, family, tourism, or integration. At the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna, I was responsible for the CILS certification exam University for Foreigners in Siena. I am also PLIDA examiner, the certification issued by the Dante Alighieri Society.
