      Certified italian teacher for foreigners and CILS/CELI exam preparation My name is Flavia, I am a certified italian teacher for foreigners and a CELI examiner. I have been working for several linguistic schools and institutes since 2015. I have worked with worldwide students of all ages and different levels and I have a lot of experience about CILS/CELI exam preparation.

      Why choose Flavia F.
      "Flavia is an absolutely wonderful Italian teacher. She is incredibly organised and comes to lessons prepared, which means she truly helps you meet your specific learning goals. Beyond her extensive knowledge of Italian grammar and her exceptionally clear and resonant voice, she is just a gifted teacher, which is rare to encounter--she makes the grammar interesting without losing the objective, she knows when to be strict and how to be flexible without too many digressions. I've learned more from her in two lessons than I have in the last six months of study on my own, because she just has great instincts regarding how to impart the information. After speaking with several others, she was very clearly the best choice for me, and if you want to improve your Italian, I encourage you to give her a chance!"
