      Experienced Italian Language teacher for beginners Hi everyone. My name is Chiara, I’m graduated in Economics and I’m Italian. Even if I was an Italian teacher at Berlitz in Calgary, as I spent 5y in Canada from 2010 till 2015, I don’t consider myself a conventional tutor.
      I like teaching my language creating a funny and dynamic environment so I promise my lessons won’t be boring, ever.

      Why choose Chiara F.
      "I have tried a few teachers and Chiara is exceptional. You will be speaking from the start following Chiara's lead as she directs the conversation. She makes skillful use of repetition and the principles that make language learning easier. She listens and interacts constantly so you never feel stressed when you express yourself badly or struggle to find words. I can't recommend her enough."
