- About: Do you miss travelling? Come aboard with me and join my Italian class! With “L’italiano in valigia” we’ll pack a virtual suitcase with all you need to know before visiting the “Bel paese” so that upon arrival you’ll be ready to speak like a local! And if you haven’t purchased a ticket yet – or don’t feel like travelling – that’s not a problem. Learning Italian is always a good idea. Italian cuisine, fashion, art, architecture, literature and more... after a few classes you’ll start seeing the Italian language everywhere, even while speaking English! My name is Serena and I just moved to Los Angeles from Turin, a city surrounded by the Alps and the first capital of Italy. I’ve received a BA in Communications and a MA in American Studies, and I am an accredited Cambridge ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher. Before settling in California, I taught English to children, teenagers and adults in Italy, and I also taught Italian to high school students in Australia. But I won’t go on talking about myself because my classes are about YOU! No, this doesn’t mean that I am a lazy teacher, but that we’ll focus on your interests and goals, on your questions, on that troubling grammar rule that doesn’t want to stick or on that particular word that you find so difficult to pronounce. And yes, this means that you’ll be active, that we’ll be speaking a lot and that you’ll do most of the talking! But don’t worry, I’ll always offer direction and support, like a tour guide: even if it’s a private class, you’ll never be travelling alone.
