ITALIAN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE LESSONS WITH A MOTHER TONGUE

Hello everyone! Ciao a tutti!

My name is Gianluca, but you can also call me Gian (it is pronounced as the english name John, but with an open "a" sound instead of the "o".
I am 31 years old, I am a native Italian speaker and i have a strong passion for travels. I graduated as a Mechanical Engineer in 2014, worked in big multinational companies, and after 6 years i decided to quit my job to realize my dream: travel around the world.
I want to know as much as possible new cultures, languages, people with different mentality.

I am willing to teach my native language, Italian, to people from all ages. But i'd love also to share with my students about italian culture. I can also teach English, language that i learned working with people from France, Germany, UK, US, Japan, China, India and Brazil, and later on traveling (i visited more than 35 countries around the world).

The duration could be 60, 90 or 120 minutes, is up to you. Since i'm still moving and not living in a fix place, i'm offering only webcam lessons.

My hobbies, in addition to traveling, are sports (i practiced football for many years, running, swimming, crossfit and cycling), photography, reading books and listening to music.

So are you ready? Let's start!
You will be able to speak basic italian or english in a very short time!

See you soon!
A presto!

Bring with you the predisposition to learn, and i'm sure you will have fun doing it!

Spanish & English Lessons with Erika in Belgium :)
Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children. We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture. My lessons take a casual twist—we might stroll around, grab a coffee or tea, and make learning an enjoyable experience. The best part for me is when students express gratitude for our time together.

That’s when you’ll start surprising yourself with how much you can understand and say. Think of it like planting a language seed — let’s water it together and watch it grow! 🌿 Ready? Bring your curiosity (and maybe a snack), and let’s start speaking!
