About Me
Ciao, sono Denise 🌸 Your Italian Teacher
I’m here to help you discover the sweetness of Italian — not just as a language, but as a way of living, communicating, and feeling.
I’ve been teaching Italian for several years, and during this time I’ve had the privilege of meeting students from all over the world. Each of them has a different story, a unique accent, and one common dream: to feel truly comfortable with the Italian language.
My Story
My Journey
My life has always been a blend of languages, cultures, and travels.
I’m from Piedmont, but I’ve traveled widely and lived in different countries — and today, I call Vietnam my home. I speak English, French, and Spanish, and I’m learning Vietnamese — so I know exactly what it feels like to face a new language, with all its challenges, fears, and wonders.
My Ikigai
Teaching Italian is my ikigai — my reason for being and the purpose of my life. Knowing that I can help my students find their voice in Italian, feel more confident, more curious, and closer to the beauty of this language is what makes me wake up every morning with joy and enthusiasm.
Purpose
My Approach
I believe in a gentle yet profound way of learning — one rooted in listening, empathy, and curiosity.
Every student is unique, and every learning path should be tailor-made: step by step, without rush, and with joy.
Each lesson is a meeting, an exchange, a small journey toward authentic connection.
I don’t just want you to learn grammar rules — I want you to feel the language, to be moved by the sound of a word, to discover the rhythm and melody of Italian.
Through La Dolce Lingua, I want to offer you an experience that combines method, sensitivity, and passion — to help you speak Italian naturally, and with heart.

I’ve had the pleasure of learning Italian with Denise, and I can honestly say she is one of the most patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging tutors I’ve ever worked with. From the very first lesson, she made me feel comfortable in speaking the foreign language, which greatly helped improve my overall learning. Denise has a wonderful way of tailoring each lesson to fit my needs and pace. Whether we’re focusing on grammar, vocabulary, or just having a casual conversation in Italian, she keeps things engaging and fun. For me, one of the most important traits in a good tutor is their ability to be understanding and supportive, and Denise provides both wonderfully. If you’re looking for a tutor who genuinely cares about your learning journey and creates a positive, enjoyable atmosphere, I can wholeheartedly recommend Denise! Grazie mille, Denise!
Me encantan las clases con Denise. Es una profesora nativa italiana, siempre prepara las lecciones perfectamente – una combinación ideal de poco de gramática, ejercicios y parte de hablar. Cada su clase es divertida e interesante. Es una persona muy amable, paciente y fácil para hablar. Me ha ayudado aprender italiano de O a B1 en 4 meses! Ha preparado plan de estudio justo y necesario para prepararme para el examen de Plida.
Four months into twice weekly classes, I offer this. Denise: is very professional; challenges you; is always prepared; is always on time; makes classes fun; is knowledgeable; is positive and patient. I’m not sure how one could find a better language instructor.
