"Master the melody of Italian with a coach who lives at the intersection of language and drama. Beyond my 20+ years of teaching, I work as a Dramaturg for Canadian film and theatre, helping professionals find their voice. From creating cultural programs for The Dante Society to teaching at the Italian Chamber of Commerce, my mission has always been to share the beauty of Italy. Ready to sound like a local? Book a trial session to experience the authentic sound and soul of Italy. Bonus: I’m an excellent cook, so I promise our lessons will always have the perfect 'flavor'!"

"Italiano sounds beautiful, doesn't it? But wouldn't you like to speak impeccable Italian? Perché no? As a professional pronunciation coach, I have a deep mastery of my native tongue—a language I love so much that it has carried me through a successful career in theatre, radio, and public speaking. Join my classes to master diction and communication. Let’s make your Italian shine!"
"Every student follows a personalized path suited to their specific strengths. I combine listening, reading, and writing to make learning Italian a complete and enjoyable experience. Having taught theatre in Italy and Vancouver, I bring a unique creative edge to my classes—an advantage that helps my students truly 'perform' the language, not just study it."

"To ensure the most effective learning environment, I offer flexible session formats tailored to your lifestyle. Lessons can be held at my private studio, in the comfort of your home within the Greater Vancouver area, or conveniently online. For those seeking a more immersive experience, I also conduct 'Living Language' sessions in downtown Vancouver—engaging in natural conversation while strolling through art galleries or exploring the city, allowing you to practice Italian in authentic, real-world contexts."
I have been learning with Cinzia for about 5 months now and I feel so much more confident in my speaking in just this little time. We have a lot of fun working together, she encourages me to try and is very positive even when I feel like I am making mistakes. When I get stuck on certain verbs, she explains things step by step and through real llfe examples. You can tell she truly cares and wants me to succeed. We have discussed many things about the Italian culture, she has researched and given me some great tips for when I go back to Italy. I am so grateful to have met her and appreciate so much how she has the patience to work with me.
Cinzia was a tremendous help to our family - we learned so much useful Italian for our special trip in such a short time, thanks to Cinzia's thoughtful and engaging lessons. Cinzia worked with us to prepare for relevant situations in a way that was tailored to our needs, and also created fun materials and exercises that really helped make things stick. She balanced structured themes and dynamic interactions in a way that was a great fit for us. Plus she provided a lot of extra information and help toward our trip and personal goals. We can't say enough about how pleased we are with our experience. We have been able to practice what we learned and build on it too, making our time and connections extra meaningful and enjoyable. Can't wait to show off at our next family visit! I'm so thankful for Cinzia's excellent help, and would recommend her highly. Grazie di cuore Cinzia!
Cinzia is full of life and knowledge and makes learning interesting. Not only are you gaining the ability to speak Italian but you are learning about culture and history. For me, I come from an Italian background and had a basic understanding of my language as it wasn’t really spoken in my home. My partner and I decided that we wanted to take lessons as he was interested in learning more about my heritage. We are so unbelievably happy we found Cinzia!
Cinzia has helped me tremendously with reviewing my intermediate-level Italian which I studied back in university. Her knowledge and passion in Italian culture and arts is rooted deeply. So one can not only learn about the Italian language, but also a great deal about the Italian way of living.
