Unlock the Secrets of the Japanese Language: From Fundamentals to Fluency
Are you looking to master Japanese not just as a language, but as a living culture? Whether you are a total beginner or an intermediate learner looking to refine your skills, I am here to guide you on your journey.

What You Can Expect:
My approach bridges the gap between structured academic learning and real-world application. Having earned a Master’s degree in Japanese studies and lived in Japan for a year, I offer a unique perspective that textbooks alone cannot provide.

What We Will Cover:
Grammar Foundations: We will break down complex grammar rules into clear, manageable steps to build your confidence from day one.
Practical Conversation: Forget stiff, robotic phrases. We will focus on natural, conversational Japanese that helps you actually connect with people.
Keigo (Honorifics): Master the nuances of polite speech—essential for professional settings and showing respect in Japanese society.
Cultural Context: Learning a language is inseparable from its culture. I share authentic insights from my time in Japan to help you understand why the language is used the way it is.

My Methodology:
Every student has different goals. My classes are highly personalized to fit your pace, whether you are preparing for a trip, a career in an international environment, or simply passionate about Japanese culture. We will focus on communicative learning, ensuring you feel comfortable speaking and using the language correctly, including the sophisticated honorific systems that often intimidate learners.

Why Choose Me?
With a strong academic background from Ca' Foscari University and firsthand experience in the Japanese labor market, I provide a professional yet encouraging environment. I am dedicated to helping you achieve your language goals with precision, patience, and cultural awareness.

I am Italian native speaker, lived 16 years abroad and reached a near native English level.
I can speak about any every day subject and can handle technical IT related conversations as well.
As I do love the English language I would like to help people of any age to develop it, for both work or leasure.
I have a good knowledge of the grammar as well.
The lessons will be structured according to the personal need.
I can help via webcam or travel to the student's location

Do you have a passion for foreign languages and decided to try out Italian?
Did you realise you need help with the basics?
Did you just want to start learning a new language but don't know where to start?
Well, you're in the right place. I can teach you all the basics you need to be able to continue your studying on your own or with a tutor (me?).

English is one of the most important languages in the world. You’ll need it to be able to communicate globally and it really comes in handy in case of studies, vacation etc.
I’ve designed this course in a most practical way to cater for beginners all the way to advanced learners. You’ll learn the basics of the language,grammar, how to conjugate correct sentences, new vocabulary and improve your reading skills.

Are you planning a trip to Italy and need tips to communicate in an effective way?
Are you fond of Italy and want to learn the language to appreciate books, articles and movies in the original language?
Are you studying Italian and need to improve your conversational skills, your pronunciation and enrich your vocabulary with real-life expressions and figures of speech?

I am a young Italian girl recently graduated in Languages with a specialisation in Comparative Literature ready and happy to help you master Italian and make progress in your learning path.
I can target the lesson to your needs and your level and match your tastes and interests talking about the topic you like the most, from art, culture, news, cinema, theatre, dance and performance, science, travels, nature and wildlife.
I can offer you all the tips to get confortable with my language and culture along with grammar and more technical instructions.

I can also correct and edit documents, texts, CVs.

If you have doubts or questions, please feel free to ask in advance!

Apart from Italian and English, I also speak Spanish at a good level!

You'll learn to speak spanish. The most important to learn a language is talk and talk using grammar and vocabulary learned in class.

Imparerai a parlare lo spagnolo. La cosa più importante per imparare una lingua è parlare e parlare usando la grammatica e il vocabolario appresi in classe.

I have more than 5 years of experience when it comes to teaching English as a second language. My introduction to teaching was a volunteering project in a French high school, then it became my profession when I started working in a Hungarian language school. In the school I held business English and everyday English courses for all levels, mostly teaching small groups of adults. Apart from that, I also held private Hungarian and French lessons. Now I am working in a language school in Italy, as well as teaching online because I travel a lot, and working remotely allows me to keep doing what I love, from anywhere in the world.

When you become my student I will ask about your goals, assess your level, and recommend a course book based on your level and needs. In case you would only like to practice communication or wouldn't like to learn from a book, we can also simply talk and occassionally use some worksheets to make the lessons more varied and enjoyable. All my lessons are generally very communicative – I try to stay in the background and correct you when necessary, and guide you through the exercises instead of giving you the answers. From experience I know that real learning happens when you figure things out for yourself, and not when you are passively listening for your teacher's explanations.:)
