I like to know about your passions, and fun is the best way to learn a language.
So let's chat away (I am extremely patient) if you want to improve your proficiency, talk a fluent italian with a good accent!

My lessons are online lessons, I have italian teaching experience (university level) and I enjoy meeting people from all over the world, learning about different cultures. The dynamic of the lessons is pretty straightforward: we can assess your level, then your goals and finally start chatting away in a very relaxed and informal environment.

If you have specific concerns (vocabulary, grammar, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, figures of speech, pronunciation, accent, you name it!) we can address them one by one.
I also have working experience in corporate companies and can share my knowledge about the "working culture" so that you're not lost in translation.

I also speak french and spanish, learning multiple languages gave me a deep understanding of language learning, can find different patterns of thought to help you out and present you alternative approaches for remembering vocabulary and new words.

I am particularly well versed with "workarounds": if you're missing *the* word on the spot, I can teach you how to work your way around it and still get your desired meaning across.

Plus: hand gestures, we can learn the proper wrist movement to do the most famous italian hand gesture and the countless ways you can use it, to speak like a proper italian head-to-toe (hands included!).
