Ciao, io sono Martina!
Hailing from Emilia Romagna, the land of delectable tortellini, my life has been coloured by an unwavering passion for exploring diverse cultures and mastering languages.
During my university days, I had the incredible opportunity to live in Lisbon, where I honed my Portuguese skills and fell head over heels for the local culture. Today, I am based in the UK, but I frequently travel back to Modena and Lisbon.
Languages changed my life. They enabled me to live unique experiences and meet incredible people. The transformative power of languages drives my passion for teaching.
Beyond languages, I love running and trying new sports, delicious cuisine, and travelling to new countries whenever I have the chance.
Ciao, io sono Clara!
Born in a charming North Italian town, my heart has always gravitated towards foreign languages.
With a master’s degree in Language Education from the University of Venice, I’ve had the privilege of calling multiple countries home, including Poland and Georgia.
Teaching Italian, both online and at the university, is my passion. There’s nothing more gratifying than witnessing my students find success and make tangible progress with each lesson.
When I’m not in teacher mode, you’ll find me engrossed in books, exploring new cities and neighbourhoods, hiking or cycling, and satisfying my love for travel.
Meeting new people and immersing myself in their stories is a lifelong fascination, and I can’t wait to hear your story!

My Italian Room emerged from our experience as language enthusiasts who achieved fluency in a foreign language.
Recognizing the problem of passive language acquisition in traditional learning environments, we envisioned a solution: embracing interaction and active practice for true language mastery.
At My Italian Room, we revolutionize language education, prioritizing the five essential language skills: writing, speaking, reading, listening, and dialogue.
Our courses spotlight active practice, providing ample opportunities for students to engage dynamically with the language. Our teachers serve as guides, fostering a personalized experience with tailored feedback for continual growth. We emphasize the crucial role of mindset in language learning success, sharing best practices and offering unwavering support to keep you positive and motivated throughout your journey.
Care and attention underscore everything we do.
Central to our approach is the S.P.A.C method, applied across all courses, encapsulating the four core principles we deem essential for language learning success: Support, Practice, Authenticity, and Consistency.
