The Teacher
Let's Talk about me
I’m Antonella Moro, Italian teacher to foreigners, with a postgraduate specialization at Perugia’s University for Foreigners, and journalist.
As a teacher, from 2017 to 2020 I taught to foreigner students of Milan Politecnico University, at a different levels, from beginners to C1 level.
At the same time I started giving one to one lessons (general and business), face to face and online, In Bellagio and Milano, and intensive courses, one to one or in very small groups.
I’m specialized in intensive courses, as my teaching experience has begun with them: first of all, at the Finafrica Foundation (belonging to the Cassa di risparmio, now Banca Intesa), connected to Bocconi university, the most exclusive Italian University of economics and finance. In that case, after two months of intensive work (8 hours of lesson a day) the students were able to dream in Italian!!!.
Then, I thaught in intensive and non intensive courses at Milan’s Philological Circle, close by Piazza della Scala, the historical language institute of Milan.
I also spent some periods teaching in Addis Abeba and Tunis.
As a journalist I’ve worked for Il Sole-24Ore, Italy’s major economic and financial newspaper for many years. I’ve worked for the Italian political section, for the economic news and for the legal column.
Before I’ve worked for the Espresso-Repubblica publishing group, writing for its local newspapers chain and s a freelance for national newspapers.
My passion for journalism, which requires Italian language as the primary work tool, has always gone alongside with a strong commitment for teaching Italian to foreigners.

Antonella's Method
How to study italian having fun
My method is simple: I put every single student at the centre of my lessons, taking into account their Italian-language background and rate of progress.
The course programme and indeed each lesson are planned taking into account both the overall objectives of the class and each student’s level of Italian.
In the classroom no one should ever be bored: everyone should participate fully and learn while also having fun, thereby discovering not only a new language but also a whole country, culture and cuisine different from their own (hence the reason for supplementing the morning lessons with two afternoons of “Italian in freedom” activities).
Lessons are highly varied, ranging from conversation useful for living in Italy (with clear explanation of the fundamental grammatical rules) to reading texts, from quizzes to games, from videos to exercises and to using gestures and movement as an aid to learning.
Most important of all is that each student should be immersed in Italian so as to assimilate the language with the proficiency of a native speaker.
