➡️ I like establishing an equal relationship with my students, so they can feel more comfortable in conversation with me.
➡️ Being at ease while learning a foreign language is extremely important because it allows the mind to open and learn with no barriers.My lessons & teaching style
📌My approach is mostly communicative-oriented, so you will learn Italian through conversation
📌I will personalize each session and provide you with specific materials that I myself prepare for each lesson taking into account your overall learning goal
📌I want to help you feel comfortable while speaking Italian in any situation and context, indeed we will also work on texts that you could find useful for improving your 4 basic skills (speaking, listening, writing and reading), but also your language and intercultural competencies
📌I believe that learning by speaking and listening can prove to be highly effective not only for vocabulary and fluency but also for pronunciation and grammar.My teaching material

Germana is an excellent teacher. She is a certified language instructor also fluent in English (although we do not speak English together), and so she understands an English-speaker's challenges in learning Italian. Each of her lessons involves reading an article or watching a video on some interesting aspect of Italian life, which permits me to learn new things about Italian culture while also improving my vocabulary, listening and speaking.
I started lessons with Germana as an intermediate student, with a decent knowledge of grammar but with a limited vocabulary and a need to increase fluency. I feel I have made steady progress with Germana. She is a very intelligent and positive person, and I always look forward to speaking with her.

Germana is a phenomenal Italian teacher. I've been studying with her since September and for each lesson she has provided thoughtful and customized materials, such as articles, songs, and video clips. Most importantly, she is a great conversationalist with a fantastic sense of humor, so our conversations are always flowing and natural. One of the most challenging aspects of learning a new language, for me, has been overcoming my insecurities. Germana has always made me feel comfortable and confident even in the moments I struggle to find words or meaning. Highly recommend!!

Germana's Italian lessons are wonderful! She prepares worksheets that have helped me to learn more Italian vocabulary and grammar. One thing about Germana's lessons that are excellent is that she encourages one to speak in Italian. -- Evan W.

La lezione è stata come sempre molto istruttiva, interattiva e personalizzata in base alle mie necessità. Germana è super disponibile, professionale e riesce sempre a motivarmi! È un'insegnate molto preparata e riesce sempre benissimo a trasmettere le sua conoscenza della lingua italiana e anche della cultura, infatti mi racconta spesso aneddoti e interessantissime curiosità culturali. Da quando ho iniziato le lezioni con Germana ho notato un miglioramento decisamente significativo e consiglio vivamente di prendere lezioni da lei! Oltre a essere un'insegnante fantastica è anche una persona gentile e simpatica, che prende a cuore gli studenti e che si interessa alle loro storie e culture differenti. Consigliatissima!
