Caterina Nuti

Ciao! I’m Caterina, an Italian teacher from Turin. I’ve been teaching languages for 25 years.
How do my lessons work? We start with a relaxed chat. We will talk about your learning needs, what you already know and what you’d like to be able to do. Maybe you’re moving to Italy for work, visiting family, planning a holiday or preparing for an exam. From there, I assess your level and plan the lessons around you.

Every lesson is a mix of speaking, listening, reading and a bit of grammar, but grammar is never the main dish. You’ll speak from the very first lesson, even if you’re a complete beginner. I use my own materials together with textbooks like Nuovo Espresso and Nuovissimo Progetto italiano, which are great for listening practice. We talk about real things: food, travel, work, everyday situations, and sometimes Italian songs. I’m also a professional singer, and music is one of the quickest ways into a language. If you get stuck, don’t worry. I can explain things in English, Spanish or French, so you’re never lost. Over the years, I’ve taught engineers, executives, university students and adults starting from zero, in Italy and abroad. I once spent five months in the Republic of Congo teaching Italian to a group of French engineers, which taught me a lot about patience and flexibility!
At the end of each lesson, you’ll know what you’ve learned and what to work on next. I’m flexible with times, including evenings and weekends. Vi aspetto numerosi!!
