Both of us are Italian native speakers, dedicated and qualified teachers of Italian each having many years experience in teaching Italian, English and ESL.
Teaching Italian has always been a passion for us and our career too. We have also completed further studies of Italian Language and Culture at the University of Perugia, Siena and Rome.
Our numerous trips to Italy to discover, explore and bring back new and exciting experiences of all things Italian have enriched our teaching, motivated our students, and inspired us to realize our dream.
After a fulfilling and successful career within the Education sector in Melbourne, Australia, we have decided to live our ultimate dream. We have developed this new and exciting venture known as Passport to Italy.
We are friendly, cheerful and our teaching style is dynamic. Our goal is to always seek out opportunities to enrich our teaching and inspire our students. We never miss the chance to see an Italian movie, try a new Italian restaurant and keep in touch with what is happening in the Italian community in Melbourne and with our family and friends in Italy.Teaching Italian and sharing what we know about the Italian culture is what Passport To Italy means to us .We would love to share the richness of Italy with you. Catch a glimpse of some of our memorable adventures to Italy in our Photo Gallery.
