Hi!
My name is Iginia. I am from Naples, Italy, and I live in Gothenburg, Sweden.
In Naples I took my bachelor’s degree in foreign languages and literatures, with a focus on German and Swedish. During my bachelor I lived in Berlin as an exchange student for one year and after that I moved to Sweden where I took a master’s degree and a PhD in German contemporary literature.
Besides my interest in languages, I love reading, studying, watching movies, and travelling. I have many other interests, like painting, knitting and crocheting. I love interacting with others and learning about different cultures.Me as a Teacher
I began teaching Italian as a native speaking teacher in 2012. During the years I focused more on teaching German literature and language at university, I worked as high school teacher in German and Swedish as a second language and I took different training courses concerning language teaching, pedagogy and didactic.
I see myself as a very patient and understanding teacher, who likes to explain, help, and try and try again until we reach our goals. As a teacher, I always think that I have a lot to learn from my students and I see teaching as a great opportunity to meet new people, share competences, interests and experiences and learn more about the world. My lessons & teaching style
Every student has different learning styles, therefore I do my best to adapt my methods to the needs and profiles of everyone. I like to work with different types of materials: textbooks, text documents, audio and video files, homework. If you are a beginner, I like to cover topics such as family, friends, work, interests, feelings, travelling, daily activities, food, transportation. If your competences are more advanced, I usually focus more on conversations regarding topics of your own interests. I can also help with more practical stuffs like writing CV and job applications. I also love to teach, discuss, understand and analyse the language by reading novels, books, and songs text.My teaching material

I really enjoy my Swedish lessons with Iginia. She's extremely warm and friendly and I feel quite at ease in the lessons, even when I'm absolutely slaughtering the language! She is very knowledgeable about grammar and steers me to interesting resources so I can delve deeper into a topic if I want to. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to get an introduction to Swedish or polish up their command of the language.

Iginia è sempre brava a trovare nuovi argomenti interessanti con tanto di materiale. Studiare la lingua attraverso le canzone e il teatro permette anche di scoprire la cultura napoletana un po’ alla volta, da Viviani a Liberato, passando per Eduardo, Di Giacomo e Totò. Poi ho sempre delle domande e Iginia fa di tutto per rispondermi in modo chiaro. Insomma, è un’ottima professoressa e la consiglio a chiunque voglia 'mparà 'o napulitano. Grazij Igì!

I’ve been taking weekly Neapolitan lessons with Iginia, and the experience has been exceptional. Each lesson is thoughtfully structured, engaging, and tailored to my level and interests. She combines linguistic precision with deep cultural insight, making the language come alive beyond vocabulary and grammar.
Iginia is patient, encouraging, and attentive to detail. She explains complex points clearly and always provides meaningful practice that builds confidence. I genuinely look forward to our sessions each week and can see steady progress in my fluency. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Neapolitan in a serious yet enjoyable way.
