Hi, I’m Ilaria from Genoa, Italy. I’m a teacher, translator, and PhD student in Modern Literatures. I speak Italian, Swedish, English, and French, and I'm currently learning Norwegian and Icelandic. Here are a few things about me:
• I love teaching and exploring other languages and cultures.
• My passion for languages started early — I began studying Norwegian on my own at 12, without an internet connection — so challenging!
• I have a deep passion for all things Scandinavian.
• I enjoy reading, ice skating, singing, and traveling.
• I adore animals, especially dogs, and I love learning from them too! :)

Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, my first and main goal is to help my students become active users of the language they're studying. That's why, with my students, I try to speak as much as possible in the language they are learning and encourage them to do the same. I'm very professional, but I also want my students to feel comfortable during the lessons, so that they can have a great learning experience.
My lessons & teaching style
I know how hard it can be to learn a new language as a grown up, this is why I always try to adapt my lessons to my students and their needs, combining traditional methods and materials with interactive ones. Since every student is different, my goal is to focus on their interests and needs to prepare accurate and appealing lessons for each one of them, so that they can learn by reading or discussing topics they're interested in or that are related to their work / hobbies, etc.

Absolutely great! This was my first lesson in Swedish and I recommend Ilaria wholeheartedly. We went from reading to grammar in a very fluid way. 5 stars for sure.

Ilaria è un'insegnante eccezionale. Il suo metodo didattico è rigoroso e accademico, il che si traduce in un apprendimento solido e duraturo. Le sue lezioni sono intense, ma allo stesso tempo coinvolgenti e stimolanti: non ci si annoia mai e si esce da ogni classe con la sensazione di aver imparato davvero qualcosa di nuovo.
Sa come mantenere alta la motivazione degli studenti e crea un ambiente in cui la sfida intellettuale diventa qualcosa di entusiasmante piuttosto che intimidatorio. È raro trovare un'insegnante che riesca a unire rigore e dinamismo con tanta naturalezza.
La consiglio senza esitazione a chiunque voglia imparare l'italiano in modo serio e appassionato.
