About Me

Hello! I’m Ottaviano, an Italian language teacher for foreigners 🇮🇹.

I have a deep love for the Italian language and culture, and sharing this passion with my students is a true joy for me. Teaching Italian means not only explaining grammar rules, but guiding each person through a world of sounds, words, gestures, and traditions.

I have experience teaching Italian to students of different ages and backgrounds, from complete beginners to advanced learners. I like to create dynamic, personalized lessons where every student feels engaged and motivated. I use authentic materials, communicative activities, and plenty of conversation practice to make learning natural and enjoyable.

My goal is to help you communicate confidently and spontaneously in Italian, adapting each lesson to your personal needs—whether you’re learning for travel, work, or life in Italy, we’ll build your path together.

I see myself as a friendly, patient, and curious person; I believe that a positive and relaxed atmosphere is the best foundation for learning a language.

I look forward to meeting you in class and discovering together how beautiful it is to speak 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.

Hello! I'm an Italian high school teacher and published writer with a strong academic background in Literature and Languages, studied across Italy, the UK, and France. I have extensive experience tutoring students of all ages and levels, and I bring both a structured and culturally rich approach to each lesson.
My classes are personalized to suit the individual needs, goals, and current level of each student. Typically, a lesson is divided into two parts:

- Grammar & Language Structure – I teach grammar interactively using a textbook as a guide, alongside custom exercises that I prepare based on each student’s progress and needs.

- Conversation Practice – We dedicate time to speaking and listening, helping students become more confident and fluent in real-life communication.

For intermediate and advanced learners, I enrich lessons with insights into the evolution of the Italian language, drawing connections to Latin roots and Italian literature. I also weave in elements of Italian culture—from regional expressions to literary references—to make the learning experience more immersive and enjoyable.

Whether you're learning Italian for travel, study, work, or personal interest, I’ll help you reach your goals with a method that is both rigorous and inspiring.

Hello everyone, I am a Ukrainian and would like to help those who want to learn Ukrainian. I am not a certified teacher, but I will be useful for those who know Italian and English.
I know that many foreigners have become interested in the language of my people because of the war. I really want to help those who want to watch Ukrainian news and immerse themselves in Ukrainian culture and history. I study history in Rome, so I could tell you a lot about this topic.

Merge into the wonders of Italian sounds, music, and culture, learning Italian at a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level. Having learnt languages over time, I am convinced that practicing conversation is the most fun and direct way to learn a language. Each class will start with a conversation subject and dive into grammar, spelling, and listening practices, depending on each learner's preferences and inclinations.

Learning Italian is a beautiful experience and I'm glad you want to do it with me.
It is a very different language from English and I have many English-speaking students who learn it with my help and above all with their dedication.
In my classes we will have a basic manual but also many other tools such as videos, newspaper articles, material brought by you that will allow us to have a broader idea of what constitutes the learning of a new language.
I have a lot of experience as a teacher and I look out how you are learning, we all have different ways of learning and there is not a good or bad way , tt's important it's your own tool you trust.
Let's start our new adventure soon!
