After high school in Humanities (maturità classica), I enrolled at the University of Pisa, where I completed a degree in Philosophy in 1994 and in History in 2005 (both laurea magistrale). In 1996 I got the Großes Deutsches Sprachdiplom (C2 level) issued by the Goethe Institute. I spent many years in Germany. 1995-1997 I worked as a lector for Italian language at the University of Bielefeld and over the years I have worked at various language schools in Tuscany, Mannheim and Berlin. From 2009 to 2013 I taught Italian at a Volskhochschule in Brandenburg. Since 2002 I have been managing Puntolingua, which has been based in Berlin since 2012.

I introduce myself: My name is Anja, I come from the southernmost part of Germany, the Allgäu, and after graduating from high school in 1987 I studied Political Science and French in Munich (M.A.). Since I wanted to teach, I then passed my state examination as a teacher. After many moves with my family, I finally ended up in Berlin. I gave German courses at the VHS in Bavaria, have BAMF approval for integration courses and a diploma issued by the Goethe Institute for DaF / DaZ. Languages are my passion, so I have now also taken the CILS B2 exam in Italian.

Learn Italian in Italy with Gloria
After graduating from high school, I graduated in foreign languages at the University of Macerata (English and German). I won an Erasmus Traineeship scholarship in 2018 and had the opportunity to work in “Puntolingua” in Berlin, an experience that made me fall in love with teaching my mother tongue and which encouraged me to obtain the master’s degree from the Università per Stranieri di Perugia in “Teaching Italian as a non-native language” and the “DILS PG level II” certification. I lead tours in my town Ripatransone, in Le Marche Region, and I welcome into my city those who want to come to study and live for a period of time in the heart of the Italian province.
Please do not hesitate to contact me to organize your holiday with an Italian course in Ripatransone.
