This trial lesson is not just a chat, but a strategic 30-minute session to kickstart your journey. Ready? Here is what we'll cover together:
- Skill check: a quick check of your grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation (or just your main goals if you're a beginner).
- The "translation" advantage: I'll show you how my MA in Translation and my experience as a language teacher help you stop translating in your head and start thinking in Italian.
- Custom strategy: we define our goals and build a concrete plan to reach them.

Master the basics right from the beginning. Have you always wanted to learn Italian but didn't know where to start?

This lesson is designed for complete beginners (A1 level). We'll cover the essentials: pronunciation, core vocabulary, basic sentence structure and grammar, and phrases you actually need in everyday life. 

By the end of our lessons together, you'll be able to introduce yourself, navigate simple interactions in Italian, and feel confident enough to keep learning.

Basic Italian: Italian For Beginners

You know some Italian... But it's time to move past the textbook phase.

We'll work on the areas that challenge intermediate learners most: the subjunctive, past tenses (passato prossimo vs remoto and imperfetto), reported speech, and idiomatic expressions. Lessons are always tailored to your goals.

By the end of our lessons together, you'll handle conversations with more confidence, make fewer systematic errors, and feel the difference between knowing Italian and actually using it.

Intermediate Italian: For Intermediate Learners

The fastest way to improve your Italian is to actually speak it, without worrying about being perfect. 

This is a relaxed, informal session built around conversation and fluency. We'll talk about whatever interests you: Italian culture, food, travel, current events, cinema, literature, or just your week. I'll offer corrections where they matter, introduce vocabulary naturally in context, and help you build the habit of thinking in Italian.

Informal Tutoring: Real Talk, Real Progress

Moving to Italy is a dream, but navigating daily life can be overwhelming. Here is how I can help you: this package is designed for expats who want to learn Italian from the start or become more fluent. We'll focus on real-world scenarios (bureaucracy, grocery shopping, small talk) to help you truly feel at home.

I offer:
- Grammar tips and customized materials
- Cultural insights: how to navigate Italian culture, from holidays and bureaucracy to the "unspoken."
