My lessons are designed to be practical, personalised and, above all, conversation-focused.

Before we start, I like to understand your goals and the reasons why you want to learn Italian. Based on your level and your needs, we can choose together the topics and areas you would like to work on.

During our lessons, we will speak Italian as much as possible, using real-life situations and topics. We can talk about travel, work, everyday life, cinema, music, Italian culture, or anything else that interests you.

While we are having a conversation, I will help you correct mistakes and find more natural words, expressions and idioms. We can also work on pronunciation and on the difference between informal Italian, which you might use with friends and people your age, and more formal Italian, which is useful in professional or work-related situations.

I also speak English very well, so if you get stuck during a conversation and cannot find a way to express something in Italian, we can briefly switch to English. This allows me to help you understand exactly how to express that idea in Italian, without interrupting the flow of the lesson or making you feel uncomfortable.

If you already have some knowledge of Italian, we can focus on improving your fluency, expanding your vocabulary, correcting mistakes and making the way you speak sound increasingly natural. We can adapt each lesson to your level and to the situations in which you actually want to use Italian.

My goal is to give you as many opportunities as possible to speak Italian in a relaxed environment where you don't have to be afraid of making mistakes. I believe that practising regularly and feeling comfortable using a language is one of the best ways to build confidence and make real progress.
