About Simona
I am a native Italian speaker with many years of experience teaching Italian at all levels. I am currently an Italian Language Lead Instructor with the HCDSB and Thomas Merton IILE Program, a role I have held for over three years, teaching students from Grade 3 to Grade 8. In addition, I have been teaching Italian privately to teenagers and adults for over twelve years.
I completed a Liceo Classico Diploma in Italy, where I developed a strong and structured foundation in Italian language, grammar, and literature. This background was further strengthened by an Italian Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Communication Sciences.
In addition to teaching, my professional experience as a certified Human Resources professional in both, in Italy and Canada, has honed my interpersonal and organizational skills, which I bring into the classroom to create engaging, well-structured, and personalized lessons tailored to each student’s goals.

Simona has been an excellent Italian teacher for my son. She is a mother-tongue speaker and incredibly organized. She prepares each lesson thoroughly and always provides helpful follow-up practice work to reinforce what was covered. Most of all, Simona is enthusiastic and engaging. Highly recommend!
Simona is a wonderful teacher who I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for an experienced, engaging, and patient Italian tutor. We began our tutoring sessions in 2018. Working with Simona through 2019 (and staying in touch over the years), I gained confidence speaking Italian with a native speaker. With her gentle encouragement and guidance, I learned to speak without awkwardness about my interests, my family, my travels and about life in general.
After my retirement from teaching, I wanted to learn foreign languages. I enrolled in Italian classes at a nearby university, but I soon realized that I was missing the most important aspect of language learning: being able to really speak to others in Italian. That is what I most appreciate about our lively tutoring classes. Thank you Simona, for your genuine interest in helping me towards my goals.I highly recommend Simona as an Italian teacher! With 12 years of experience, she’s knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about teaching. She loves grammar so much that she makes it easy to understand! She’s great with both adults and kids and knows how to adapt her lessons to different ages and learning styles.
Her teaching style is engaging and effective, and she creates a supportive environment that made me feel confident and excited to learn. She helped me fall in love with the Italian language and culture. I can’t wait to travel to Italy and show off everything I’ve learned!
An excellent choice for anyone wanting to learn Italian. Grazie, Simona, for all your hard work!I’m so lucky to have found Simona as my Italian tutor! She is a highly professional and outstanding teacher—very patient, well organized, and clear in her instruction. She communicates extremely well about class arrangement as well. She truly cares about her students, and always goes the extra mile to help them improve. I’m incredibly grateful for her support - highly, highly recommended!
Simona is a wonderful Italian teacher. She is very well organized and really knows how to explain things in a clear and simple way. She is kind, patient, and always supportive with the students.

If you want a teacher who knows what she’s doing and genuinely cares about your progress, I would 100% recommend Simona!She is a mother tongue teacher who incorporates fun into every lesson! She explains things clearly and adapts to how you learn. The lessons are practical, relaxed, and actually useful for real life, not just textbook Italian.
Simona is an amazing Italian tutor. She’s friendly, supportive, and genuinely reliable. She has 12 years of experience tutoring Italian to foreigners, and it really shows. She explains things in a simple way and keeps the lesson moving without making it stressful. We focus on conversation and grammar, and she also helps me with practical Italian for work and travel, the kind of Italian you actually use in real life. Lessons are always well prepared, but still relaxed and enjoyable. She corrects mistakes in a way that feels encouraging, and I always leave the lesson feeling more confident and motivated.
We’ve done lessons at her place, at a public library, and online, and everything has worked smoothly. I honestly can’t wait to go back for the next lesson. Highly recommended. Grazie Simona.I highly recommend Simona! She is a great teacher who has adapted her lessons to my needs. From the first lesson, she made me feel at ease and helped me speak confidently, even with my limited Italian. Also, being a native speaker, she makes lessons fun by sharing Italian anecdotes, culture, and expressions… I really love feeling immerse in the Italian culture during the lessons! She is always prepared and attentive, making learning smooth and enjoyable.
