Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.

Learning Italian is a gateway to a world of rich cultural experiences and practical advantages. Italian opens doors to Italy's renowned art, history, and cuisine, allowing you to fully appreciate masterpieces by Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, and savor authentic Italian dishes in their true context. It enhances your travel experiences, enabling deeper connections with locals and a more immersive exploration of Italy’s beautiful landscapes and historic sites.
Professionally, Italian is valuable in fields like fashion, design, and international business, where Italy plays a significant role. Mastering the language not only broadens your career opportunities but also adds a competitive edge in the global job market.
Additionally, learning Italian stimulates intellectual growth and offers a rewarding challenge, especially if you already know other Romance languages. It fosters a deeper understanding of different cultures and enhances your ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds.
In essence, learning Italian enriches both your personal and professional life, making it a language that brings joy, cultural insight, and valuable opportunities.

As a student who graduated from the European School, I have gained a lot of knowledge in different languages. Having learnt Greek, German, English, French, and even a bit of Italian, I have become familiar with the ways and mechanisms of teaching a language. I have always been passionate about writing and believe a lot in the importance of writing abilities to help individuals mentally, and the same counts for speaking and reading. Language is a form of self-expression that is of utmost importance to life, and I believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn these skills.

Additionally, as a political science student at the University of Amsterdam, I offer help with history and sociology lessons, having studied both these subjects with a lot of passion for many years.

I am a very patient person and approach these lessons with excitement and a lot of joy, but most importantly, with passion. Seeing people grow in their skills is very important to me, especially seeing how happy they are with themselves.

Hi there! My name is Altea. I’m a qualified and experienced teacher with over eight years of experience teaching students of all ages, levels, and backgrounds.
