Ciao! I am Serena,
Your Italian Teacher

I am a published author and experienced teacher of Italian as a foreign language. I am committed to creating high-quality learning content that helps passionate Italian learners immerse themselves in the language—no matter where they are. My motto is: Learn Italian smarter, not harder!

I took classes with Serena and after a six-month immersion course with her, I passed my B1 citizenship exam at the first attempt. If someone asked me to give Serena a score from one to five stars, I’d give her six for sure!!
