Hi everyone! I’m Paola, 26, with a background in Education, Pedagogy, and Human Resources. I love studying how people learn and use this to create personalized lessons for adult learners. My focus is conversation and culture: you’ll speak Italian naturally while exploring traditions, history, and daily life. Learning with me feels like chatting with a friend: relaxed, enjoyable, and effective. Together, we’ll adapt lessons to your goals — improving fluency, confidence, or simply enjoying cultural chats. I love animals, books, the gym, and especially traveling. Having lived abroad, I know what it’s like to learn a new language, and I’ll make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.Me as a Teacher
I believe in the power of informal learning, so I focus on everyday language, idioms, and real conversations. I try to create a relationship based on mutual exchange, where we can both learn through dialogue.
I’m a good listener, but I also enjoy sharing my thoughts and experiences. I’m precise and attentive to each student’s learning style, and I always prepare personalized materials based on individual needs. My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is friendly and flexible, and each lesson is tailored to the student’s needs.
The first lesson is usually a conversation to assess your Italian level. From the second lesson on, we’ll work on personalized topics and exercises based on your interests — such as travel, hobbies, and Italian culture, or my suggestions.
The methodology will vary: we’ll practice conversation, writing, reading, and listening — to help you improve in every area of the language.
Homework is optional and entirely up to you.My teaching material

Paola helped me study for my Celi B2 exam last month, thanks for her patience. I have been studying with her for a year now and she is really a great teacher!
主要是双商都在线，不会问一些奇怪的问题，国内的小伙伴们可以放心上，我已经替你们踩过坑了。她确实是这个平台上的最优解了

I was very pleased with my lesson. I've had a few lessons with other teachers in the past and just didn't click with them and one made me feel so stupid, but this wasn't the case at all!! She didn't make me feel dumb for not knowing things or saying something wrong, just corrected and encouraged. Even joked with me which is my personality also so for me this was great! Scheduling more lessons asap!

Paola is very patient and kind!! I had a wonderful first lesson. She helped me with grammar, speaking, and pronunciation. She also sent me the pdf documents so I can review at home. I’m already booked for my second and third lesson because I believe she’ll be the best teacher for me. Grazie Paola, a presto!!
