I'm not only a language teacher: I'm also a language learner, an artist, and a musician! I like teaching Italian to foreigners because I get to know incredible people with interesting things to tell.

Me as a Teacher
As a student of languages myself, I know that speaking the target language with a native speaker since the start is the best way to progress faster; I also know that a relaxed and informal atmosphere is vital to learn effectively, because our brains work much better when not under pressure.
I will use Italian as much as possible and, most importantly, I will make YOU use Italian as much as possible, even if you are a beginner.
However, sometimes clarity is necessary so we can also use English and French - and I still remember a little bit of Norwegian and Swedish!
My lessons & teaching style
ITALIAN LESSONS
We will mainly use a book and some extra PDF files with all types of activities: reading, listening, grammar, speaking, writing.
CONVERSATION PRACTICE / INFORMAL TUTORING
This is for you if you study by yourself, mainly with your own material, and want to have conversation practice, reading practice, explanations, corrections during class, etc.
____________
Reschedule and cancellation: if you need to reschedule or cancel a lesson, please do it at least 24 hours in advance. I won't accept rescheduling or canceling with a shorter notice, which means the lesson will be marked as completed even if you can't attend.

Teacher’s pick
I have been learning Italian with Celeste for about four years now and can highly recommend her. She is a great teacher with an amazing breath and depth of linguistic wisdom. In our conversation practice we cover so many topics - the lessons are always super interesting and fun. And Celeste remains so patient with me - even when I repeat the same mistakes over and over again. 5 stars always!

One of the best things about Celeste is that she has never (in well over 100 lessons) made me feel uncomfortable or embarrassed when I make up Italian words! She’s so professional but also warm and friendly. Every lesson is enjoyable.

Teacher’s pick
I had already had a series of conversation classes with Celeste, last year, when my regular teacher was on holiday, and I was happy to be able to pick it up again this summer. As last year Celeste is very skilled at keeping the conversation going, allowing time for the pupil to phrase and express their stories. She has an incredibly wide and varied font of knowledge and seems to be able to converse on practically any subject. All the time, she is alert and sends written messages with useful expressions or words I did not know when trying to tell something. This leaves me with a useful little list of vocabulary to study after each session. So what could have been just an hour of chatting turns into a real lesson, palpably increasing my knowledge of the language.
