Ciao!

Imagine learning Italian through the songs you sing along to, the films you love, a great piece of theatre, a painting, a plate of pasta, or your next TV binge. That's how we'll learn: by exploring the real Italian culture, so you pick up the contemporary language while enjoying every minute of it.

I'm an Italian tutor with more than ten years' experience teaching beginners, professionals, and anyone with a curious mind. My approach is simple: we talk. Lessons are relaxed, tailored to you, and focused on helping you speak with confidence. We start from what drives you to learn Italian and build from there, whether you're starting from zero, preparing for a move or a work project, or simply want to enjoy Italian in its own language.

I'm Italian, and I grew up and studied in Italy, where I attended a liceo scientifico and developed a lasting love for Italian and Latin literature, history, philosophy and languages. I've since taught and tutored at the University of Trento and at SOAS, University of London, in both English and Italian, working with students and professionals of all ages. As someone who speaks different languages, I know first-hand what it takes to learn a new language, and I'll help you avoid the common pitfalls.

I will take you on a linguistic and cultural journey and, in no time, you will be speaking Italian with confidence. I'm a passionate teacher, and I love helping people discover that Italian is not only useful but genuinely fun.

Write to me to arrange a first lesson. A presto!
