My approach is conversation-led and tailored to each student. I usually start with a relaxed chat to get you speaking Italian straight away, then use the conversation to work on vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar naturally, rather than treating them as separate exercises.

Lessons can include short texts, videos, songs or other material based on your interests, followed by discussion and practical exercises. I’ll gently correct mistakes and explain anything that comes up, so you can improve without feeling like you’re constantly being tested.

The goal is for you to leave each lesson feeling more confident and able to actually use Italian in real-life situations, whether that means having a conversation with an Italian friend, travelling around Italy, or simply understanding more of the language you hear and read.

Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable speaking Italian. We can talk about whatever you’re into! From films and books to food, travel and nature, while gradually building your confidence, vocabulary and fluency.
