Sophie in a nutshell
My teaching method is focused on authentic learning : you will absorb the Italian language through exposure to its sounds and structures while engaging with exciting material.

My teaching method is focused on authentic learning : you will absorb the Italian language through exposure to its sounds and structures while engaging with exciting material. Grammar is always explained as a support but does not constitute the cornerstone to reaching fluency! More essential is familiarising yourself with the language and the four essential skills to be put into practice: reading, writing, listening and speaking.

With this in mind, my lessons are first and foremost rooted in Italian culture. Grammar and vocabulary are acquired through a focused « study in context » whether that be analysing an article, a song or a relevant piece of contemporary news.

Each lesson will be tailored to the needs of any individual student: if you need to prepare for a specific exam, I have ample knowledge in what is required to succeed in the PLIDA tests (A1-C2.) If you have always dreamed of learning Italian to travel the gorgeous « bel paese » I can structure a course based on survival phrases and beyond — you will learn how to order a coffee like a local, choose the right gelato and avoid any cultural faux-pas!

Having efficiently learned Italian from scratch, I am sympathetic toward the many pitfalls and difficulties that can arise when tackling Dante’s language. Rest assured : the process will be demanding but more importantly fun and stimulating!

I look forward to meeting you and sharing my passion for the most beautiful language in the world.
