Hello everyone! My name is Martina.
I am a licensed Tour Leader for the Tuscany region, based in the beautiful city of Siena. My passion for teaching and cultural exchange stems from a deep, long-standing connection with Japan, where I lived and studied for several years between Osaka and Tokyo.
I love sharing Italian traditions and life philosophy through the eyes of someone who lives daily in the beating heart of Tuscany. My goal is to offer you not just a language lesson, but a "virtual cultural journey".
My teaching experience began in Japan in 2004, where I worked at ECC in Osaka. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in International Communication and furthered my studies at Waseda University in Tokyo.
My teaching style is professional, welcoming, and highly interactive. I believe learning is most effective when you feel relaxed—as if we were chatting over a coffee in Piazza del Campo.
Tailor-made Lessons: Whether you are a beginner looking for basic greetings or an intermediate student wanting to maintain fluency, I will adapt the pace and vocabulary to your goals.
Cultural Immersion: My lessons go beyond grammar. As a professional guide, I use photos and storytelling to help you discover the authentic soul of Siena, its hidden gems, and the secrets of the Palio.
My sessions are perfect for adults passionate about Italian culture, travelers, or anyone looking for an authentic learning experience.
I look forward to meeting you and starting this journey together! Book a trial lesson or a friendly chat to immerse yourself in the Italian atmosphere without leaving your home.
