With 8 years of teaching experience and living abroad myself, I understand firsthand the challenges—and frustrations—that come with learning a new language. That's why my approach is student-centered, empathetic, and flexible. My Methodology: I adapt each lesson to your individual needs, focusing on your weaknesses and goals, whether you're a complete beginner, brushing up for travel, preparing for exams, or aiming for fluency. I combine grammar with real-world usage, encouraging practical communication skills that build confidence. What to Expect in a Lesson: Each session is structured yet dynamic. We’ll start with a quick review, introduce new concepts (grammar, vocabulary, or expressions), and then apply them through conversation, exercises, and real-life materials like songs, movie clips, news articles, or literature—based on your interests. What Sets Me Apart: I’ve been in your shoes. I know how overwhelming it can feel, and I aim to make your learning journey smoother, more enjoyable, and truly effective. My classes are warm, encouraging, and never boring. We learn, laugh, and grow together. Who Are These Lessons For? All levels are welcome! Whether you're a student, a professional, a curious traveler, or someone with a passion for Italian culture, I’ll tailor the experience just for you. Let’s build your Italian fluency together!! Book your first class and see the difference!
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Foreign Languages and 8 years of experience
Ciao! I’m an experienced Italian tutor with almost 8 years of teaching behind me. I hold a degree in Foreign Languages, and over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with students of all ages and levels from complete beginners to advanced speakers and from countries all around the world.
What makes me passionate about teaching is knowing exactly how it feels to be in your shoes. I moved abroad myself and had to learn a new language, so I truly understand the challenges, frustrations, and little victories that come with it. That experience has shaped me into a patient, empathetic, and supportive tutor.
To make learning more accessible and fun, I even created a YouTube channel where I shared Italian grammar lessons and practical language tips for learners at all levels. I believe that language learning should go beyond grammar and vocabulary; it should include culture, curiosity, and creativity.
Whether you’re learning Italian for school, travel, work, or simply for the joy of it, I’m here to help you build real confidence and reach your goals, with professionalism and a method tailored to you.
