About Me

My name is Natalia. Graduated in Languages and Cultures for international cooperation, I specialize in teaching Italian and Arabic. I am a qualified teacher, having DILS-PG II liv. certification.

I lived in Tunis for three years, where I taught Italian LS (Institute of Italian Culture and Dante Alighieri Society) and a year in Paris to deepen my studies in Arabic language and culture, at the Université Paris 8 Saint Vincennes.

I have many years of experience and training in the teaching of foreign languages in Italy and abroad and with different profiles of learners and a solid competence in language teaching, thanks to a permanent update: I attended training courses on the CLIL methodology in teaching Italian and Arabic language.

I currently live in Milan where I teach Italian as a foreign language; I also carry out cultural and linguistic mediation activities in school contexts to facilitate school-family communication.

I have several previous experiences also in pedagogical activities for children of non formal education to differences, group activities for the insertion of young people in difficult social conditions.

I speak Arabic, Spanish, French and English; I like to travel and discover the world and new contexts, following - possibly - work and study opportunities.

I love teaching languages because it is I firmly believe that knowing languages is a wealth and a powerful tool for understanding and citizenship.

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Would you like to speak Polish more confidently with your partner’s family, colleagues or people you meet in everyday situations?

I am a native Polish teacher with six years of recent teaching experience and an international professional background. I hold an MA in Conference Interpreting from London Metropolitan University and previously worked for approximately ten years as a public-service interpreter in the United Kingdom.

My lessons are particularly suitable for English-speaking adults who want to:

• communicate with Polish relatives and friends;
• manage everyday situations in Poland;
• understand natural, connected Polish;
• speak without translating every sentence in their head;
• use Polish more confidently at work;
• understand Polish grammar through clear explanations in English.

Each course begins with an assessment of your current level, goals and priorities. We then create a practical learning plan based on the situations in which you genuinely need Polish.

Lessons combine speaking, listening, practical vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar. You will practise complete phrases and realistic conversations rather than memorising isolated word lists.

I teach all levels, from complete beginner to advanced, and adapt the pace, materials and homework to each student.

Book a lesson and start using Polish with greater confidence in real-life situations.

Starting French from zero can feel confusing at first — especially when words seem to be pronounced nothing like they are written! This course is designed to make your first steps in French simple, practical and enjoyable.

We'll build your foundation step by step, starting with pronunciation, greetings, introductions, numbers and everyday vocabulary. You'll gradually learn basic grammar, sentence formation, common verbs, articles, reading and listening skills, and simple everyday conversations.

The classes are interactive, so you won't just listen to explanations. You'll practise speaking, answer questions, work through examples and revise what you've learned.

By the end of the course, you'll have a stronger A1and A2 foundation and be able to understand and use basic French in everyday situations.

This course is ideal for complete beginners, school students, or anyone who wants to start learning French in a comfortable and structured way.
