About me

Hello, everyone, my name is Erika and I’m here to help you to learn Italian. I'm a language coach and also a photographer, retoucher, graphic designer. I work with art in general and visual design as well. I’m born in Sicily, I have a passion for learning new languages. My dream was to travel the world and learn as many languages as possible so I signed up for the Erasmus program, which allowed me, at the age of 23, to continue my Photography Master in Budapest. From that time, I had a lot of adventures around Europe Visiting more than 25 countries, I was even traveling by hitching, something that I thought I would never do before.

Did you know that Italians know more than 60 gestures?

Yes, I’m going to teach you those :)

Me as a Teacher

I’m a language learner addicted. I speak English, Spanish and I'm learning Swedish at the moment. Traveling to several countries, I had the luck to meet several polyglots who gave me precious advices to learn languages on my own and that’s what I’m doing for several years. My mission is to transfer my knowledge and my passion for the ones who want to learn Italian (my native language). Thanks to my Psychology- Pedagogy- Sociology studies background and my innate empathy, I will guide you to learn &/or improve this interesting and beautiful language, and... you will learn also gestures! (we have more than 60, did you know that? ;) )
