About Me

I have studied languages both academically and recreationally for over 15 years and love teaching language-learning. My private student classes have taught me a lot about different teaching- and different learning-styles.

Academically, I have completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree (below) which brought me to Shanghai, Beijing and led me to work as a professor at Pegaso University - teaching Italian to Chinese students.

I love hearing the stories of new students as to why they have chosen to learn Italian and to support them fully on their learning journey.

I am specialized in tutoring Italian for beginners, intermediate and advanced learners. My objective is to keep students challenged but not overwhelmed. So if you want to immerse yourself in the Italian culture and language but find hard to attend a scheduled group class, or if you want to focus on specific topics or aspects and get faster progress through individual lessons, contact me to get the most suitable 1-to-1 plan for you. You will also have homework after every lesson and choose the place for your class (e.g. at home or at a public place).

Tailored lessons with authentic material and different resources to create interest, develop skills, gain confidence, and build a passion. Over twenty years tutoring experience will allow me to provide a language and culture learning process where everyone achieves at their own pace. Suitable for dyslexic learners too.

As an Italian native speaker and MA student in Translation and Cultural Mediation, I provide a solid base to either start learning Italian or make real progress if you're not a beginner. I assign homeworks, but nothing too overwhelming. Learning should be fun too!

"I strongly believe that anyone can achieve great results and learn anything when they’re motivated and enthused. As we know education is often focused on passing exams but too often the joy of learning for the sake of just learning is missing. I can certainly help with passing exams, but in such a way that enthuses my students to want to learn more, developing their talent and curiosity. It’s important to me to create a nurturing environment to enable my student to explore their ideas without fear of failure, building confidence and ultimately excelling. I take pride in being able to discover the way a student thinks and the style of learning that best matches them. Above all though: a good sense of humor and fun goes a long way to ensuring the whole learning experience is positive..." Paolo

I'm a fully qualified and experienced Italian teacher, who has experience in both one-to-one private tuition and classroom teaching, in Italy and UK. Teaches Italian from Prep and Key Stage 3, through to GCSE, IGCSE, and A-Level across all the major Exam Boards.
Whether you are a beginner, improver, or advanced student, I'll be happy to introduce you to the delights of Italian culture and literature.
We will cover: conversation, grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing, speaking, listening, literature, vocabulary, and much much more!

Hi! I'm graduated in literature and philosophy and I'm teaching Italian (my first language) English and Spanish, for every age and level. I tailor my lessons for every student's specific needs. Available for teaching grammar and conversation.

This class is specifically designed for people who are totally new to Italian language or for people who want to improve and focuses on Italian language acquisition and communication. Classes are instructed with a communicative language teaching approach; therefore the focus is entirely on real conversations about real subjects. That way communication is the engine of learning. Our classroom activities include role-play, interviews, games, pair-work.
For beginners : learn grammar

Learn and practice Italian with a native speaker, graduated in Florence in Modern Literature.
Based in London, I can provide lessons of pronounciation, grammar, literature, Humanities and everything related to Italian culture.
We can focus on writing, reading, listening and speaking, in many different and funny ways that would make you feel the beauty of the language, instead of the fatigue of learning!

Whether you’re a beginner starting your Italian language journey or looking to polish your advanced Italian skills, I can help you master the language with personalized lessons. As a native Italian speaker with extensive experience, I offer tailored lessons that focus on improving your speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills.

In these lessons, we’ll work on:
• Speaking and Pronunciation: Build your confidence in everyday conversations, business interactions, and travel scenarios. I’ll help you sound more natural in spoken Italian and refine your pronunciation.
• Grammar & Vocabulary: Strengthen your grasp of Italian grammar and vocabulary to communicate effectively in both casual and formal contexts.
• Listening & Comprehension: Improve your ability to understand native speakers with listening exercises and comprehension practice.
• Writing & Reading: From writing simple sentences to composing essays, we’ll work on improving your writing skills. I’ll also guide you in reading Italian texts—from short stories to newspaper articles and literature.
• Exam Preparation: If you’re preparing for language exams or university-level Italian, I offer focused lessons to help you succeed.

Whether you’re learning Italian for travel, business, or academic purposes, my lessons will be structured to meet your specific goals and help you achieve fluency in no time.

Planning to visit Italy or meet Italian speakers? In this beginner-level class, you'll learn how to introduce yourself naturally during social interactions—whether at a café, a group event, or meeting someone new. You'll practise how to:

✅ Say your name, nationality, and where you’re from
✅ Talk about your job or studies in simple terms
✅ Ask and answer basic personal questions
✅ Use polite expressions like “piacere” and “di dove sei?”

We’ll focus on useful vocabulary, clear pronunciation, and building your confidence through short dialogues. Perfect for complete beginners or anyone who wants to speak Italian in a friendly, relaxed setting.

Can teach any level of student of any age. Speak three languages fluently and currently doing a levels with an offer from the university of bath to study finance and accounting. 7,8s and 9s at GSCE and got into all schools selected at 11+.

I have been teaching to individuals and adults and children’s groups for over 15 years. I have been teaching children aged 4 and up with different methods based on schooling, so in the form of play, repetition and listening to the little ones in preschool age and with extra reading and written activities for others. In any case, I always alternate a more "academic" part with a part dedicated to games and/or Italian culture, therefore “lighter” topics but always functional to learning. With concern to my work with adults I also alternate grammar teaching with conversation, video watching, listening, and commenting in the form of debate.

Italian is a beautiful language but it also difficult, I hope that you will find yourself comfortable to learn this amazing language with me.
