Hi! I'm Vania Degli Angeli, Italian with some French family ties, and I live in London. I'm a QTS qualified secondary school teacher with over 20 years of experience teaching modern languages to teenagers and adults (Italian-French-English), both privately and for schools, online and face to face, for 17 years in Italy and then in London. I hold a Degree in French and English Language and Literature, two Masters in teaching, the CELTA Certificate, the CILS examiner certificate (the official certification for Italian as a foreign language), and a specialisation in Special Needs Education.

What truly makes me unique is my multifaceted experience and approach. My background combines linguistic expertise with theatre, psychology, music, and cultural event organization – skills I weave into every lesson.

I don't just teach grammar and vocabulary. My passion is guiding students on a complete journey that goes beyond purely linguistic learning. For me, teaching means inspiring, creating bridges between cultures and identities, and transforming language learning into an experience of personal growth and belonging. I am enthusiastic and warm, and I am committed to tailoring each lesson to individual needs to make the learning process joyful, meaningful, and truly transformative.

My courses are perfect for cosmopolitan English-speaking and French-speaking adults, passionate about Italian language and culture – who want to learn Italian in an engaging and authentic way. If you've tried traditional methods that bored or blocked you, if you want to feel part of Italian culture and not just "study a language," this is the right place for you.

Absolutely normal! In my method, mistakes are an essential part of the learning process. I create a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where everyone feels free to experiment. My philosophy? You don't need perfection to communicate – you need the courage to put yourself out there.

Bring your accent and don't be afraid! What matters is communicating. Your accent is part of your identity and your unique voice. In my classes, I help you improve pronunciation naturally through practice and interaction, but I never make you feel like you need to sound "perfectly Italian" to be understood. The goal is confident, joyful communication – not perfection. Your accent tells your story, and that's beautiful.

Yes! I teach a method specifically designed for people with limited time – the lessons are engaging and light, not "another task." I also give you practical instructions on how to gradually immerse yourself in an Italian environment even with a busy schedule. The secret is creating an Italian surrounding in your daily life, little by little. Small, consistent steps always lead to the goal, and my approach helps you learn effectively even with a packed schedule.

Online group lessons create a real international community where students interact with each other, support one another, and grow together. I use role plays, cultural discussions, and creative activities. It's never frontal or academic – it's dynamic, fun, and surprisingly light. My one-to-one lessons are also highly interactive, tailored specifically to your goals and learning style, creating an engaging and personalized experience.

I offer two types of face-to-face experiences:

• Immersive weekends (2 days) in various European cities where I'm invited

• Week or weekend experiences in Italy (like the one in Cesenatico) combining intensive lessons, cooking classes, wine tasting, cultural excursions, and constant language practice in real-life situations

No! I welcome students of all levels. The beauty of my method is that you learn by doing, not by studying before speaking. Even beginners start communicating right away, in a welcoming atmosphere where no one is left behind.

My students follow me for years and say I'm "inspirational." Many arrive frustrated from past experiences and discover they can truly speak Italian with confidence and joy. They overcome blocks, create meaningful connections, and feel part of Italian culture, not just observing it from outside.
