To feel free to enjoy all the time you need, for you, with a private native speaker teacher. You’ll be at the very heart of each lesson: no need to wait for your turn to speak, no need to forcely adapt your interest to other students’ interests, no need to follow a fixed program. All the time will be for you: time to speak, practice, enjoy at your own pace.

It’s all about an immersive learning experience. It’s based on the most up-to-date international researches about language learning.
The interactional and conversational approach will help you to increase at the same time your fluency and grammar competence. The linguistic examples based on your personal story and daily life will help you to fix rules and expressions in your long term memory. The inductive approach will help you to easily learn and remember new rules. Mind maps will be a great support for learning new words. The variety of material will boost your attention and curiosity. Role plays, games and task-based activities will make you enjoy and will help you to use Italian in real life situations.
All of this strategies together will create a joyful and pleasant atmosphere, will raise your engagement and will make you feel at ease, at the very centre of your learning experience – that are an essential part for a real long-lasting language evolution.
A little extra reserved to you: during the course I’ll be happy to share with you my proved learning strategies to boost your Italian language knowledge.

I’m a lifelong learner and I’m enthousiast about languages, psycholinguistics, communication and learning strategies. That’s why I had my latest academic training in 2024. I’ve got a University Master Degree in Modern Languages with a specialisation in Psycholinguistics and teaching of Italian L2. I gave my first lesson of Italian language in 2007 and I currently work as a language teacher in Lecce for schools, private students and training centres.

During our lessons of Italian we’ll be using a variety of materials: creative cards, toys, linguistic games, books for language learning, newspaper’s articles, novels, daily life objects, mind maps, videos.

The Italian language lessons are held at my home studio or at your apartment/B&B. Special immersive lessons are held at the local food market, at the bar, in the shops and in the historical centre of Lecce, the charming baroque town nestled in the the heart of Salento, Puglia.

It will be a dive into Italian language but also culture, society and food, with a special focus on  Salento and Puglia. I know your time is precious and you don’t want to waste it: the individual course program is totally based on your needs so that you’ll get the most out of each lesson. Your Italian language course will be totally tailor-made on your interest, needs and passions. Before starting your course we’ll check out your language knowledge and I’ll ask you some questions to understand what are your aims and we’ll plan together your learning path. During our course together I’ll be tuning with you step by step, following the natural flow of your curiosity and learning evolution. Day after day you’ll be surprised to discover unexpected links between different words, linguistic expressions and cultural topics.

Courses are held in the morning from Monday to Friday. I’ll be happy to agree the schedule with you.

Each lesson lasts 60 minute and you can book the number of lessons that you wish.

I speak Italian (my mother tongue), English, French and Spanish.

Yes, of course. If you are a couple, a small group of friends or a family, you can attend a tailor-made course for you.

You can settle the course in advance by bank transfer or on the first day of lesson in cash.

After the full payment, I’ll send you the invoice via email.
