Morena was born and raised in the beautiful region of Marche located in the central area of Italy. Enthusiast about languages and traveling, she lived in several countries and spent more than a decade in London, where she had the opportunity to mainly work in the digital media sector, and also in the translation and subtitling fields. She started teaching in 2018 and before her return to Italy, she obtained the DITALS and CELTA certifications which trained her to teach Italian and English as foreign languages, then she happily embarked on this new rewarding path. What she appreciates most about teaching is seeing her students' progress and sharing with them the beauty of knowing other cultures. From her point of view, learning a language is not a simple matter of grammar or vocabulary, it is about having the confidence to dare, to try and sometimes to make mistakes as well. The main function of a language is to communicate and to share. Therefore, she is focusing on this aspect, making sure that the acquired knowledge can be applied in everyday situations. In addition, she recognizes the importance of involving students in writing, listening and reading so that learning the Italian language is a successful and complete experience. She is a big fun of mixing different methods and learning approaches based on her students' needs, interests and backgrounds. She is confident with beginner, intermediate or proficiency levels, promoting personalized and creative materials. At the moment she is working online through a Franch e-learning platform, where she normally provides teaching lessons to young learners and professional adults. She mainly works with professionals' part of Air France and Disney companies. She also teaches preparation courses specifically tailored for standard exams (Cils, Plida, Celi, Ielts and Cambridge exams). She is looking forward to meeting you all!
