Ottavia Li Volsi - Italian Tutor

Introduction

Hello! My name is Ottavia, and I am a native speaker of Italian from Sicily, Italy!

I have a bachelor鈥檚 degree in film studies and a Erasmus Mundus Master degree in Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies.
I also have a diploma specializing in Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language from the University for Foreigners of Siena.
I offer classes to students from 11 years and upward and have experience working with students from around the word in private as well as group classes.
I offer classes for Exam preparation (CILS) as well as specialized courses for College/University and tourists.
I am a very creative person so I always try to be creative with my students to experience interesting and amusing classes.
I love traveling and reading and I think that thanks to these two passions I deepened a sense of curiosity, interculturality and tolerance.
I am also very fascinated by languages, and I always challenge myself by learning new ones 鈥� Deutsch now!

I'm looking forward to our free trial lesson! :)

"My Italian tutor is amazingly patient, knowledgeable, and reliable. As an older learner, I need lots of repetition and often feel like a total idiot but she never seems to mind. Because she is highly educated and intelligent, we always have interesting things to discuss. I love my sessions and have learned so much!" Kathryn T. - Unknown
