Language teacher since 2012 | building confidence, fluency & meaningful communication I see myself as a supportive and attentive teacher who truly enjoys guiding students through their learning journey. I believe progress comes through practice, encouragement, and persistence, which is why I aim to create a relaxed and motivating space where learners feel engaged, comfortable trying, and free to grow in confidence. Since 2012, I’ve been teaching Italian, German, Swedish, and Neapolitan across different levels and contexts. Over time, I’ve developed a flexible, student-centred approach, supported by ongoing training in language teaching, pedagogy, and didactics. Every learner is unique, so I tailor each lesson to individual goals, interests, and learning styles. I combine structured guidance with varied materials and real-life topics, helping students build a solid foundation and gradually gain confidence in communication. At the same time, I see teaching as a true two-way exchange. I learn a great deal from my students ‒ their perspectives and experiences broaden my own, inspire me to grow, and continually enrich my approach. Beyond language, I value meaningful connection, cultural insight, and shared discovery. My overall aim is to make learning effective, engaging, and relevant to real life ‒ helping you build confidence in using the language while exploring what genuinely interests and inspires you.

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!

Learning a language is not as simple as it seems, besides lerning the grammar rules, we also have to take a deep jump into the culture and learn the daily way of life by doing such things like reading a book, whatching movies and documentaries, taking conversation lessons, learning local recipies, and much more....Iginia is a very well prepared teacher in all senses, she has a profound knowledge of all we need to be successful in our learning journey...I couldn't ask for anyone better to have this great responsability...Grazie assaje Igi!!
