Letizia Montorfano

Letizia’s educational progress has led her abroad with the specific goal to focus on the study of the Chinese language and culture. While studying for her B.A. in Anthropology she harnessed the necessary foundational knowledge best to approach and understand China and its society.

Subsequently she completed her M.A. in Humanities at Venice-based Ca Foscari and a Chinese Teaching postgraduate course in Beijing, thereby bringing together theory and practice effectively to present and explain the nuances and subtleties peculiar to Chinese in relation to the culture in which they originate. Drawing on her national and international academic background and achievements, not least the 24CFU course for teaching credentials, Letizia has gained significant insight into the commonalities and differences between the Italian and Chinese school system, as well as the tools and skills best suited to teaching foreign languages.

Building on her experience as student first and then scholar, Letizia has developed an interactive and playful teaching method that makes learning a foreign language a natural and positive experience for her students. She has worked as a language teacher with students of all ages.

Letizia has been teaching at St Philip’s Primary and Secondary since 2021.
