Italian lessons for all levels and all needs! Lezioni di italiano per tutti i livelli e per ogni esigenza!

From 96.64 C$ /h

Si offrono lezioni di Italiano personalizzate, in base alle esigenze e alle preferenze dell'allievo.
Mi rendo disponibile sia a chi vuole cominciare a scoprire questa lingua, sia a chi possiede già un buon livello di conoscenza dell'Italiano e desidera perfezionarlo.
E' importante poter comunicare sin da subito in Italiano, indipendentemente dal livello di conoscenza da cui si comincia; proprio per questo le lezioni sono principalmente in Italiano e pongono particolare attenzione al lessico.
Le mie lezioni si rivolgono inoltre a chi sta scrivendo "papers" (tesi di laurea, testi universitari, conferenze, articoli, mail di lavoro) e ha bisogno di correzioni, feedback o di un commento.
Per chi conosce bene l'Italiano e desiderasse studiare o approfondire un particolare autore o un testo letterario, sono disponibile per analisi, letture e lezioni specifiche sul tema richiesto.

I am offering personalized Italian lessons, based on the needs and preferences of the student.
I am available both to those who want to start discovering this language and to those who already have a good level of knowledge of Italian and wish to master it.
It is important to be able to communicate right from the start in Italian, regardless of the level of knowledge you are beginning from; for this very reason, lessons are mainly in Italian and place particular emphasis on dialogue.
My lessons are also aimed at those who are writing “papers” (dissertations, university texts, conferences, articles, work emails) and need corrections, feedback or commentary.
For those who know Italian well and would like to study or explore a particular author or literary text, I am available for analysis, readings and specific lessons on the required topic.

I offer Japanese lessons that focus on grammar and vocabulary—both common difficulties—as well as spoken language. The goal of the course is to cover the technical aspects of the language without being overly theoretical or academic.

In my lessons, I combine the theoretical aspect of the language, which is essential for speaking correctly, with the practical aspect, which enables one to express oneself clearly and interact effectively with native speakers – while maintaining a certain distance from both sides.

Through my experience in interpreting from Japanese and my stays in Japan, I can convey a natural and spontaneous approach to the language.

The course focuses on grammar, vocabulary, and writing (kanji). From the perspective of an Indo-European language speaker, the course aims to help learners acquire the structure of the Japanese language naturally, freeing themselves from any possible unconscious biases inherent in their own language.

I also place particular emphasis on the connection between written and spoken language—an aspect that often seems surprising in Japanese—so as not to separate the two elements.

Education should be a complete support system, not just an isolated lesson. I design learning that bridges the gaps between school, home, and independent study — giving students structure, resources, and time-planning strategies to keep them moving forward.

Lessons are tailored to individual needs, with space for questions, mistakes, and exploration. Whether it’s guiding a student through a challenging text or refining their exam technique, my goal is to make progress feel achievable and rewarding.
