Ciao, sono Patrizia. I am a tutor of Italian language and founder of Welcome2ItalialianLanguage. I started my career in my hometown, Terni, teaching in language schools and in public/private institutions. I graduated in Perugia (Modern Foreign Languages), with a BA in English Literature and Anthropology and my experience in Italy as a language tutor (Italian L2, Business Italian, English and Spanish) and journalist (I worked for TV and radio stations) gave me the skills to interact with students and to find different tools to communicate efficiently also with the use of creative writing. I moved to UK in 2005, I started teaching Italian for CDLCI (The Centre for Italian language and culture, at the Italian Consulate in Manchester) and at Leeds Beckett University, where I gained a PGCHE in Education. I am an Associate Fellow of the HEA and I worked for Bradford University, LOGIK Centre / Leeds University and in public schools around Yorkshire. I also took part in workshops and international conferences as speaker, I organize events and workshops about Italian language. Now I run online classes and work as a Higher Level Teaching assistant in high school.

Ciao, sono Sonia. I am a teacher of Italian, Geography, Latin and History in secondary schools since 2016. From 2001 to 2016 I taught in high schools in Umbria. I graduated in Modern Literature at the University of Perugia. In 2019 I gained a qualification for CELI examiner at the University for Foreigners in Perugia and a second-level university master’s in teaching Italian language and culture to foreigners at the University of Tor Vergata in Rome qualifying for the new Italian competition class L2. I enjoy writing, I wrote a book called "Scratch Town" supported by the University of Perugia where I was a university assistant for the distance learning course. Since 1991, I collaborated for radio, television and cinema at the Cartoonia company in Terni, Eta beta S.p.A. in Rome and for the magic lantern in Turin. I am now finishing writing a novel.

I’m Alessandra Tuveri, founder of the online community “I learn Italiano”. Graduated in Italian Literature, I always enjoyed teaching and tutoring students of any age. In 2015 I decided to create a worldwide community of Italian language learners using the power of social media like Facebook and Instagram. Through short lessons, people from all around the world could learn the Italian language in small pills day by day and interact actively through questions, exercises, quizzes and polls. Today we count students from five continents and 40 countries, and we aim to unify them in our big community breaking the distances. In 2016 I moved to England, in Leeds, to reach my students and collaborate with Patrizia and her amazing school “Welcome2Italian”. I worked in a special needs school as a teaching assistant and as a private tutor of Italian with kids from 3 years old and adults of any age.

My name is Cinzia and I’ve been working since 2013 as a teacher of French Language in the Public High School in Italy. I graduated in Perugia (Modern Foreign Languages University) in 1997 with a degree in Medieval French Language and Literature. My professional career is about my passion and my studies of French and English language: I’ve worked as an adjunct professor of English Language since 2004 at Tuscia University and Perugia University and I currently teach ESP (English for special purposes) at the faculties of Science, Engineering and at the Biotechnology Department. I have also worked as an English Language teacher for several companies’ training courses. I hold professional teaching certificates in Modern Foreign Languages and I published articles for the Linguistics’ Magazine Europa Vicina. In 2002, I worked as a tutor of Italian L2 for foreigners at the Language Center School in Todi and I am currently running workshops for Welcome2Italianlanguage, mainly about the Umbria region, so to make students discovering the history and the curiosities of my territory. My role will be teaching Italian L2 to French speakers, in order to create a bridge between these two cultures.
