Emma

Hello! I’m Emma Carta, an Italian anthropologist and language tutor with a deep passion for helping students not only master the Italian language but also connect meaningfully with Italian culture. As a native Italian speaker with an academic background from the University of Oxford and University College London, I offer a unique approach to language learning, blending linguistic precision with cultural depth. My training in anthropology equips me to go beyond language mechanics, integrating context, empathy, and authentic communication into each lesson.

In our sessions, we’ll explore Italian from multiple angles: grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but also the stories, customs, and regional dialects that make Italian a rich, living language. My goal is to create a learning experience that’s both informative and engaging, whether you’re a beginner building conversational skills, a traveler seeking practical Italian for an immersive experience, or an advanced learner eager to dive into Italian literature, philosophy, or social issues.

My diverse professional background—from conducting research interviews to facilitating peer support sessions—enables me to adapt my teaching style to fit each student’s unique learning needs and goals. I’m committed to fostering a warm and inclusive environment where students feel at ease to practice, ask questions, and take language risks without hesitation.

Through our work together, I aim not only to teach Italian but to inspire you to experience the language as a vibrant journey into Italian identity, history, and tradition. I’m excited to support you on your Italian learning path, helping you gain both fluency and a profound appreciation for Italy’s cultural heritage.
