Umberta

I am an Italian actress and singer with a BA in Anthropology and a MA in Management of Arts & Heritage. I am also completing an online MA in Journalism & Publishing. I am bilingual in French and I can speak English and Spanish. I love teaching my language as well as creating a journey through the Italian culture that can help you to better understand the idiom and the many differences we have, depending on the specific region or city in the Country.

Tutoring Experience

I started teaching Italian during my Erasmus studies in Toulouse and then I taught Italian to some American actors during their journey in Rome. Furthermore, I collaborated with an association in Rome as a volunteer teaching Italian to Refugees and immigrants. Since January 2019 I've been collaborating with Supershool in Rome as an Italian and French Teacher.
Being an actress I can speak and teach Italian with the right pronunciation (Dizione) but I also explore with my students the different dialects and accents we have in Italy.

Tutoring Approach

I usually create a learning path with the student in order to personalize the lessons according to his/her specific needs. The classes will be balanced: We will explore grammar, conversation, oral and written understanding and pronunciation as well as a bit of Italian Culture in order to better understand our regional specificities.
