My teaching style is all about making Italian practical, personal, and fun. I use real-life conversation, role-plays, games, music, and cultural references to bring the language to life—because grammar is important, but so is enjoying the process! Every lesson is fully tailored to your needs, whether you want to work on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, or just feel more confident speaking. I believe in learning by doing, so expect to talk a lot, make mistakes (that’s how we grow!), and have a few laughs along the way. With over 3 years of experience teaching students of all ages and backgrounds—from total beginners to advanced learners—I’ve developed a flexible, supportive approach that adapts to each person. During our sessions, I aim to create a relaxed and encouraging environment where you feel comfortable expressing yourself. For me, it’s really important that you feel at ease, and that all your questions are heard—I’ll always do my best to answer them (or find the answer if I don’t know it right away!).
