▸Who I Work With?

- Absolute beginners — you don't know a single word of Chinese, and that's perfectly fine. We'll start from the very beginning, with a clear focus on pronunciation and pinyin, so you can build a solid foundation from day one.

- Self-learners who've tried and failed — maybe you've downloaded apps or watched videos, but you still can't pronounce words correctly or read a simple sentence. I'll help you fix the basics and rebuild your confidence.

- Future travelers and culture lovers — you're planning to visit China someday, or you're simply fascinated by the culture. You want to learn the language properly, but you also want to know what makes Chinese culture tick.

- Anyone who wants a structured start, without the boredom — I use textbooks to give us a clear learning path, but I bring the lessons to life with real stories, visuals, and cultural insights from my own experience.

──────────────────

▸What You Can Expect?

- Pinyin first, and pinyin done right — the first part of this course focuses on pronunciation. We'll work through pinyin systematically: initials, finals, and tones. I'll use visual aids, tone drills, and plenty of speaking practice to make sure you can pronounce words accurately and read pinyin confidently.

- A good textbook gives us structure — we'll use a proven textbook like HSK Standard Course 1 or Integrated Chinese as our foundation. This ensures you're learning in a logical order, with clear grammar explanations and vocabulary building.

- Beyond the textbook — once we've got the basics down, I'll bring in materials from my own work: documentary clips, travel photos, real Chinese signs and menus. You'll see how the words and grammar you've learned show up in real life. This is where the culture comes in, not as a separate lesson, but woven into everything we do.

- Speak and read from day one — every lesson includes speaking practice. You'll learn to introduce yourself, order food, ask for directions. Practical, useful Chinese that you can actually use.

──────────────────

▸Teaching Methods & Materials

- Core textbook: HSK Standard Course 1 or a similar structured textbook for systematic progress

- Pinyin tools: visual charts, tone pair drills, audio recordings for pronunciation practice
- My own materials: documentary footage, authentic photos, and real-world examples to bridge the gap between the textbook and real life

- Custom worksheets: designed specifically for your weak points and interests

I am a multilingual linguist specializing in comparative linguistics, second language acquisition, and language teaching. For more than 15 years, I have taught Chinese, French and Italian to students of different ages, proficiency levels, and linguistic/cultural backgrounds through both private lessons and university courses.

I hold a binational PhD in Linguistics and Language Teaching from Sapienza University of Rome and INALCO (Paris). Throughout my career, I have taught and conducted research in Italy, France, and China. I have published extensively on linguistics and language acquisition, serve as Managing Editor of an international academic journal, and regularly collaborate with universities and research institutions in Europe and China.

Whether your goal is to prepare for an exam, improve your speaking skills, learn a language for work, or simply discover a new culture, I will tailor each course to your needs and objectives. Lessons may include conversation, grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing, and listening comprehension, depending on your goals. I use a wide range of materials and place particular emphasis on developing practical communication skills while helping students understand the underlying structure of the language.

My research focuses on how languages are learned and acquired. This enables me to identify the specific challenges faced by each learner and to adapt my teaching methods accordingly, making the learning process more effective and engaging.

As language and culture are inseparable, learning a language means not only acquiring new linguistic skills, but also gaining insight into the cultural and social contexts in which it is spoken. I aim to help students build both linguistic confidence and a deeper understanding of the language they are learning.
