      Certified Italian Teacher (Ditals I) with 14 years experience, CELI examiner — Ciao!
      I live between Spain and Switzerland with some journeys to Italy. I am Italian and I speak Chinese Spanish and English. Love teaching, translating, reading books and the 2 dogs that you are listening during lessons :)
      Lets have fun together with Italian!

      Why choose Cristina V.

      "Cristina is the BEST Italian teacher you'll find - bar none. She has a friendly, fun way of teaching; not only will your grammar and conversational abilities improve, but your confidence will improve as well. I recently traveled to Mexico and met someone who also spoke Italian as a third language - and as a result, we were able to form a friendship based on our mutual language abilities! This would have certainly not been possible without Cristina's help. 10/10 recommend - grazie Cristina!!"
