Italians lie. I teach the Italian nobody admits speaking - messy, real and alive 🚀 I'm an italian language anthropologist: I teach Italian (full-time job) & standard diction with training in pronunciation, vocabulary memorization, exams prep, coaching, culture 🧠 I use cognitive exercises & an assertive approach to build critical thinking, expand your vocabulary & perfect your diction for: 💼 Work & CVs 🎓 University (medicine etc.) & exam prep — without confusing Italian with Spanish 🗣️ Fluency, sophisticated vocabulary, cultural understanding & intellectual growth 🧠 Assertiveness development & deeper reasoning skills My background spans law, diction, history, archaeology, doula studies, sex ed. & language anthropology. I study Caviardage for vocab building 🗣️. My lessons aren't just about Italian, they're a journey of personal & critical thinking growth. You'll leave each session transformed, not just speaking better but thinking differently ✨ My specialty? Vocabulary memorization through language anthropology, relaxation techniques & context — words absorbed through meaning & authentic connection, making them stick naturally in your mind 🧠🌱 Every lesson is a unique experience where coaching meets deep learning: assertiveness, relaxation, circle time, Socratic dialectic, holistic pedagogy & language anthropology, art therapy 🗣️ 📋 Individual lessons only | 25, 40, 55 min | Platform: Teams ⚠️ Cancel/reschedule: 24h notice. No-show or 10+ min late without notice = lesson confirmed & paid. Technical issues on your end = lesson paid. 18+ only 🪷

Fantastic teacher. I book lessons with Nadi most evenings. She is always on time, always dedicated to me improving my Italian abilities. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She searches for course materials for me to use and provides me useful homework. Book a lesson without hesitation!!!

Lezione molto scorrevole. Nad era ben preparata e mi ha dato ottimi consigli per prepararmi all'esame CILS C1.

some days, I dont want to review Nadi so that I can keep her as my secret weapon. However, I would highly recommend Nadi for anyone who wishes to improve his/her ability to communicate like a normal person - you know, just carry on a normal conversation.

Nadi is the best! I have been having lessons with Nadi for over 2 years now, and every lesson is thoughtfully prepared, professional, and all around a great learning experience. I have really improved my speaking, confidence, pronunciation and conversation skills with her lesson structure and prompting. I definitely recommend Nadi to those who want to improve, challenge themselves and their brains, and feel fulfilled, supported and encouraged in a learning environment.

Nad started the lesson by asking what my goals and expectations were for learning Italian. She conducted most of the lesson in Italian as I am able to understand a little bit from self-studying and a background in Spanish. The activities were engaging and relevant to my needs. I look forward to doing more lessons with her.
