Boost Your English & / or Italian Conversation – Fun and Easy!

From 86.51 C$ /h

I grew up abroad, studied in English, and have always worked in English-speaking environments. Over the years, I’ve led teams, coached individuals, and offered private sessions on various topics — including conversational English.

In schools, there’s often a strong focus on grammar, which is important, but not enough time is spent just talking. To really improve a language, you need space to speak freely, make mistakes, and have fun — and that’s exactly what I offer.

I can teach in English or Italian, and the sessions are relaxed, empathetic, and fully tailored to you. We can chat about everyday life, hobbies, travel, work — anything you like — and do exercises, reading, listening, or vocabulary practice if you want.

One of my favorite moments was working with my 12- and 13-year-old niece and nephew in Italy. They started off a little shy, but over time their confidence and English improved so much that when we traveled to the US last year, we could all converse easily and have fun with it.

The sessions are fun, stress-free, and flexible — your pace, your topics, your learning. Let’s practice together and enjoy the journey to more confident English (or Italian!) conversation.

Extra information

It’s important that students have a basic level to provide a starting point for conversation. If the level is too low, meaningful conversation becomes more difficult. Please note, this course is not focused on grammar exercises — it is purely conversational, aimed at improving everyday speaking and listening skills.

About Me

I love teaching languages because I enjoy seeing people gain confidence and have fun while learning. I’m a relaxed and empathetic teacher, and I adapt each session to the student’s needs, interests, and pace. I believe the best way to improve a language is through conversation and practice, not endless grammar exercises.

I enjoy working with students of all ages who are curious, motivated, and open to speaking — whether it’s everyday conversation, travel situations, or specific topics they want to explore. Having grown up abroad, studied and worked in English, and learned other languages myself, I know how important it is to feel safe, comfortable, and supported while practicing.

In my lessons, we’ll chat, laugh, and explore topics that interest you, with optional exercises for reading, listening, or vocabulary. My goal is simple: help you speak more confidently and enjoyably, at your own pace.

I specialize in teaching children and adults. I make learning creative and fun and completely tailor made to each student's learning style and strengths. I place a strong emphasis on intuitive learning through speaking and reading and I let the grammar and vocabulary knowledge build naturally. I do follow textbooks when required but I also lesson plan around it, using the student's interests to make the class interesting.

Italian is my mother tongue, I love its sound, its grammar structure, the culture it expresses.
I hope to pass on to my students my passion and enthusiasm, thanks to the experience I made at university, where I studied ancient Greek and Latin, then working as a teacher in high school, and gaining the DITALS, which is a diploma to teach Italian to foreigners.
I have experience with students of different levels and age, and I gear each lesson towards my students' goals and preferences.

Hello,
I am currently studying biology at the University of Zurich. I speak english and french as mother tongues and am also fluent in german and italian. I give tutoring services in maths & science, french and english but can also tailor to more specific needs. As I have previously studied in a french international school and then passed my Maturité in a swiss "collège", I have a good understanding of these two academic systems and of their expectations. I have 4 years of experience behind me and can give classes for students at different levels, from primary school to high school. Don't hesitate to contact me for more information. I would love to help you in any possible way!

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hello there and welcome to my profile!

Would you like to practise your speaking skills and become more fluent in English?
Would you like to take an English proficiency exam?
Would you like someone to proof-read important documents or help you with phrasing sentences?

If you said yes to one or more of these questions, you're in the right place!

I am a native English speaker with a clear accent. I grew up in Surrey, England, and lived in UK until I was 22. After receiving my Classics degree from University of Cambridge I moved abroad to continue learning languages and teaching English.

I have a very good level of German (B2), and some understanding of Swiss German, having lived in Switzerland for over four years.

As a teacher and tutor, I am very kind and patient. I listen to my students’ needs and plan creative lessons accordingly.

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Best wishes,

Tasha
