Roberto Sbavaglia

I’m a native Italian tutor with a passion for helping students communicate confidently and naturally in Italian. I teach learners of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced speakers, adapting every lesson to their individual needs, interests and goals.

Before starting, I like to understand your communicative needs, your reasons for learning Italian, your goals and, importantly, the topics and interests that motivate you. This allows me to tailor each lesson and create personalised learning activities that are relevant, engaging and useful for you.

My approach is strongly communicative: we focus on speaking and real-life communication rather than simply following a textbook. I use engaging, authentic materials such as short videos, news stories, dialogues, images, articles and everyday situations to make lessons practical, varied and enjoyable.

Lessons can be held online or face to face, depending on your preferences and circumstances. In both formats, I aim to create a relaxed and supportive environment where you can actively use Italian, experiment with the language and gradually become more confident.

My lessons are designed to develop your communication skills, improve fluency and pronunciation, and help you express yourself more naturally and spontaneously. At the same time, grammar is an important part of learning, so I can provide focused and clear grammar work whenever it is useful for your progress, always connected to practical communication.

Whether you want to improve your conversation skills, prepare for a specific situation, strengthen your grammar, improve your pronunciation or simply become more comfortable speaking Italian, I will design lessons around your needs and objectives.

The goal is not just to study Italian, but to use Italian confidently, naturally and effectively.
