About Me

I am a native Italian speaker with a professional background in psychology, academic research and communication.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with people from different backgrounds, and this has taught me that everyone learns differently. My approach is therefore practical, flexible and personalised: I adapt each lesson to the student's level, goals, interests and way of learning.

I particularly enjoy working with adults and professionals who want to use Italian in real-life situations, whether for work, travel, living in Italy or simply becoming more confident in conversation.

My aim is to create lessons where students feel comfortable speaking, asking questions and making mistakes, while progressively developing a more natural and confident use of Italian.

- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living between Pisa and Rome. I have 10 years of teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests, and availability of the student. I can offer students private accommodation in Pisa, a comfortable private apartment in the historic center of the city, a short walk from my home.

- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and putting the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course, and for each lesson, I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also, the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

➤ Learn French with a successful technique: the main objective is to acquire bases or improve your level in French (written & oral: pronunciation, comprehension, language construction, communication, conjugation, grammar & vocabulary). It is also to understand the cultural specificities of Switzerland & France.

🌟 If you are a beginner, don't worry because I take great care to make you feel comfortable.

In addition, preparation for official language certificates (CELI, CILS, PLIDA), the Swiss maturity exam, apprenticeship as a commercial employee CFC and tailor-made courses in a certain professional field.

As a Ukrainian teacher for foreigners with varying language proficiency levels, I hold a unique and pivotal role in the realm of education.
I am in touch with my students almost all the time. We are not only practicing grammar and vocabulary, but we are also experiencing a love of Ukrainian culture together. There is no place for constant boring theory and mindless rote memorization. My values are trust, understanding and love.

My dedication to imparting the Ukrainian language to a diverse group of learners has shaped an identity, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences, skills, and qualities that make an invaluable asset in the field of education.

I love seeing and participating in my students' interest in the Ukrainian language. What warms my heart the most is their curiosity about every detail and exception. Especially when they want to look for new things for themselves and then tell me about what they have found with a twinkle in their eye.

Hi there.
Need to learn Arabic!?
I am Ahmed, a professional Arabic instructor.
I have experience in teaching Arabic & Greek.
I speak three languages.
Arabic (native)

I have experience teaching students from age 5 to adults who wish to learn Arabic for work.

Learning a foreign language should be a moment of relaxation.

I have been tutoring Arabic since 2018 and have multiple methods to teach according to the student's needs.

Furthermore, I am a Greek instructor, translator, and interpreter.

So, if you are interested, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to helping you achieve your language goals and making the learning process enjoyable and effective. Together, we can explore the richness of Arabic language and culture while enhancing your communication skills.

Giorgia

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

My Spanish classes are designed for students who want to communicate more naturally, confidently, and accurately in real-life situations. As a native Spanish speaker from Argentina with experience teaching adults and professionals, I adapt each lesson to the student’s level, goals, and interests.

Lessons can focus on:

* Conversation and speaking confidence
* Grammar explained clearly and practically
* Vocabulary development
* Pronunciation and listening comprehension
* Argentine and Rioplatense Spanish
* Spanish for professional and workplace situations
* Reading and discussion of cultural or current topics
* Personalized exercises and learning materials

My approach combines structured learning with active conversation, so students can understand how Spanish works while also learning to use it naturally. I provide regular corrections and feedback and adjust the lessons according to each student’s progress.

Classes are suitable for different levels, from students building their foundations to advanced learners who want to refine their fluency and accuracy.
