About Me
italki teacher since May 15, 2019Me as a Teacher
In 2012, in Curitiba, Brazil, I opened my own school, Corso Brancaleone, where I offered language courses in which, since the first lesson – even for beginners – we followed collaborative study paths on Italian art and history. It was a great experience that made me meet so many people interested in going beyond the common language lessons.
Through the programs Italiano+Arte and Italiano+Storia you can learn Italian and at the same time follow a discovery journey into italian history and/or art history. Working with images, maps and videos, we can explore Italy’s fascinating events and cultural heritage while mastering the italian language. My lessons & teaching style
Since the first lesson you will be *using* the italian language and you will get in touch with authentic material even if you never studied it before. YOU will be the protagonist! Building a cooperative relationship e develop your autonomy and your awareness of the experience of learning will be our main goals.
You will have homework assignments and feedback in a virtual classroom that you can access from any device.
I work with all levels and learning purposes, like travel, studies, work and (inter)cultural growth.Certificates

Desi has been my teacher for a while now. I started with her not knowing anything in Italian, now I am able to hold conversations with my Italian coworkers, to read long texts and watch some videos and series without subtitles. She is amazing, she is creative, she finds multilple ways of making each lesson fun and enjoyable!
