1. For Absolute Beginners (Category: Italian, Basic Grammar, Basic Conversation)
Class Title: Italian from Zero: Your First Step!
Description:
Have you always dreamed of speaking Italian? Let's start from zero together! This class is designed for those with no prior knowledge of the language.
We will learn the essential basics in a clear and enjoyable way: how to introduce yourself, order at a café, ask for directions, and use the most important verbs in the present tense.
We will use images, real-life situations, and simple conversations. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—this is the perfect place to do it! My goal is to give you the confidence to express yourself from the very beginning.

2. For Conversation and Fluency (Category: Conversation, Vocabulary, Italian)
Class Title: Let's Talk! Everyday Conversation Lessons
Description:
Do you already know some Italian but are afraid to speak? This class is for you! The goal is to improve your fluency, enrich your vocabulary, and finally overcome the fear of conversing.
We will choose topics that you are passionate about: current affairs, travel, culture, Italian cuisine, or TV series. I will gently correct you and teach you natural idioms to help you sound like a true native speaker.
Grab a cup of coffee (or tea!) and let's practice together in a relaxed atmosphere.

3. For Grammar and Precision (Category: Grammar, Academic Italian, Writing)
Class Title: The Secrets of Italian Grammar: Clear and Stress-Free
Description:
Do the subjunctive mood, reflexive verbs, and prepositions confuse you? This class will transform grammar from an obstacle into a strength.
We will tackle one rule at a time with clear explanations, practical examples, and targeted exercises. Each lesson focuses on a single topic (e.g., "The Subjunctive Today" or "Why do we say 'a me mi'?") for solid and deep learning.
Perfect for students of all levels who want to write and speak with precision and confidence.

-You need to build a strong foundation in basic grammar (present tense, articles, nouns) and essential vocabulary.
-Your main goal is to understand and form simple sentences for everyday situations.

-Your goal is to move from "survival Italian" to having more fluid, detailed conversations and expressing your opinions.
- We will focus on fluency, accuracy, and diving deeper into the nuances of the language to help you sound more natural.

About Me
Native Italian Teacher from Milan | Language & Culture Expert for All Levels
Ciao! I am a true “Milanese D.O.C.”, born and raised in the heart of Milan, immersed from day one in the rich traditions and culture of my city. My profound passion for Italy's beauty, history, and lifestyle is the driving force behind my work.

After gaining years of experience in the international corporate world, I decided to pursue my true calling for teaching and found Switzerland to be the ideal environment for my new career. I hold a degree in Italian Language and Literature from the University for Foreigners of Siena (Università per Stranieri di Siena). For over five years, I have been passionately dedicated to teaching the Italian language to foreign students and tutoring pupils with Special Educational Needs (BES).
I am a strong believer in lifelong learning; therefore, I continuously keep myself updated on the latest language teaching methodologies and consistently study to enrich my educational offerings for students

My life is a testament to the power of language and cultural exchange: I live in a multilingual family (Finnish-Italian) in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. As a language learner myself, I am fluent in English (C1) and currently mastering German (A2 level). This unique perspective allows me to truly understand the learning process from the student's point of view. I am passionately committed to creating a positive, supportive, and motivating environment where you feel confident to learn and grow.

My lessons are communicative, student-centered, and designed to be both engaging and practical. We will not only focus on grammar and vocabulary but also explore the vibrant world of Italian culture—from art and literature to design, traditions, and the famous Italian dolce vita.

Whether your goal is to converse, work, study, or simply connect with your heritage, I will tailor our journey to your specific needs and pace.

Let's embark on this beautiful journey into the Italian language and culture together. I can't wait to help you discover your voice in Italian!
Education
I am a qualified teacher with

- a Bachelor in Italian Language and Literature from the Università per Stranieri di Siena
- Basic Language Teaching Certification (Certificazione di Glottodidattica) from ILSA.

This specialized academic background has provided me with a solid foundation in teaching methodologies, which I have applied throughout my career teaching Italian to learners of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and proficiency levels.
Experience / Qualifications
My professional journey has allowed me to hone my skills across diverse teaching environments:

Italy has a lot of charm because of its diverse culture: the language, the Renaissance, the opera music, but also Laura Pausini and the Bolognese sauce :-)

Italian, with a degree in "Languages and Literatures" (I am fluent in French, English and German), I have extensive professional experience as a language teacher.
My strengths:
- Since I am multilingual, I know all the good tips to really master a language (if I can do it, you can too!)
- I'm serious, but I also have a sense of humor. During my classes, we never get bored.
- I'm open to different solutions: I can also teach you another language at the same time (verbs in Italian and English at the same time? Compare their usage? No problem!) or even cook with you: Bolognese sauce? Why not?
Bye for now !

Hi, I'm Michael. I'm from Switzerland but I spent most of last year in Brazil, where I was doing research for my PhD in history and where I was once again in the position of learning a foreign language – a valuable experience for any language teacher. Languages are my passion, whether learning or teaching them.

I have over 10 years of experience in teaching German as a foreign language on the most diverse level, in language schools, high schools and even a prison. Thus I can offer tailor-made individual classes. The pillar of my practice-based method is that the students use the language on topics and situations that are really important for them, be it daily-life situations or specific topics they need vocabulary for. Of course, grammar explanation and practice is important, too. And there is also a place for fun, through learning games, German songs etc.

Hello

My name is Claire, and academic support has been at the heart of my work for several years. I hold a Master’s degree (Master 2) in Educational Sciences and have specialized in helping students with a variety of learning profiles, whether they are experiencing a temporary block or have ADHD, are gifted (HPI), or have learning difficulties such as dyslexia or other “dys” disorders.


Why This Specialization?

Some students learn intuitively—their curiosity and their unique way of thinking make every session stimulating. Through my experience, I’ve worked with many students who, despite strong abilities, face challenges within the traditional school system.


Several factors can explain these obstacles:

• Around 30% of students have an “atypical” profile (ADHD, gifted, dys disorders...). These students each have their own way of understanding new concepts. They often need hands-on experiences, repetition, reformulation, or visual aids to make sense of information.

• A lack of self-confidence: No student is “non-academic.” However, repeated difficulties can lead to a loss of motivation and a feeling of failure. For example, a child struggling with reading might dread reading aloud in class for fear of stumbling over words in front of classmates. This can lead to avoidance and reinforce the difficulty.

• Understanding how we learn is key: Learning to understand oneself and identify what works is an essential step—but not always easy without guidance. A student might struggle with multitasking. Without recognizing this challenge, it’s difficult to develop strategies to complete exercises or assessments under good conditions.


Why Private Tutoring?

I’m often asked: why not teach in a classroom?

I enjoy working with a variety of ages and levels. I truly see the benefits of one-on-one tutoring, where I can quickly identify what’s not working and adapt right away. Every student helps me grow in my methods and knowledge—it’s a truly enriching exchange.


As a mother myself, I also understand how hard it can be for parents to manage their child’s schooling. Being a parent is not the same as being a teacher. The reality of family dynamics often doesn’t allow for that role. And yet, students who struggle in school often need support with specific methods—outside the classroom setting.


What kind of support do I offer?

1. Targeted support (primary & middle school): to overcome a specific difficulty (reading, spelling, math, English, etc.).

2. Ongoing academic support: weekly sessions throughout the year to strengthen skills and organization.

3. Special preparation: help with oral presentations, public speaking, and customized evaluations.

4. Early childhood learning: introduction to reading, sounds, and numbers.

5. Reading acquisition: step-by-step support for fluent reading and solid comprehension.


Methods and Tools


1. Creation of personalized teaching materials


I don’t rely only on textbooks or ready-made resources. I create customized lesson materials, broken down into clear steps and perfectly suited to each student. The goal is for the student to leave each session with a clear, structured handout to help with memorization and review. Since knowledge is interconnected, I often combine subjects based on yearly goals.


2. Tailored evaluations and progress tracking

• I use evolving assessments to track progress and adjust learning methods.

• Exercises progress in difficulty to build long-term understanding and confidence.


3. Structured sessions and work organization


I often recommend two sessions per week. This allows a concept to be introduced, absorbed, and reused while maintaining a steady rhythm.


Example of a French lesson:

• Session 1: 30 min on a key concept, 15 min of work planning, 15 min of practice exercises.

• Session 2: 20 min review, 40 min of reading and text comprehension.


This approach avoids cognitive overload and supports progressive, effective learning.


4. Building independence


Beyond knowledge, I teach students how to be more organized:

• How to structure their notes to ease revision.

• How to plan study time to avoid last-minute cramming.

• How to manage time and stress during tests and supervised work.


We also work on strategies to avoid careless mistakes, quickly understand instructions, and manage time effectively during exams.


Pricing and Follow-up


Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is—especially for students with ADHD—to leave each lesson with a written, organized summary. These students often struggle to synthesize what was covered in class or extract the essentials.


A two-part pricing structure


Each session includes two essential components:

1. The lesson with the student—a time for active learning and exchange.

2. Preparation beforehand, which is crucial to tailor the session to the student’s unique needs.


What does this provide?

• Truly personalized follow-up

• Flexible teaching: lesson content and duration adjust to progress and challenges.

• In-depth work: crafting tailored resources takes time but is key to an effective session.


Let’s be honest: I’m not Mary Poppins :) Learning takes time, patience, and effort. I don’t have magic powers—but I do have a clear goal: to help each student become more independent in their learning, in a structured and supportive environment that empowers them to overcome their difficulties.

✅Practical sessions aimed at providing you with tools, techniques, methods and strategies to better formulate your messages, choose the right words and arguments, and more effectively obtain what you want, by understanding the psychology of your interlocutors and the mechanisms of human communication.

You're constantly negotiating—at work, with your family, in your relationships. The difference between reaching an agreement and remaining dissatisfied often lies in how things are said, the timing, and the other person's understanding. The goal is to learn to decode your interlocutors (their motivations, resistance, and ways of operating) and adapt your verbal and non-verbal communication to be better understood, without confrontation or power struggles, with finesse and efficiency, until these reflexes become second nature.

The approach integrates the analysis of behaviors, modes of expression, and verbal and non-verbal signals (semiotics, relational dynamics, profiles, and human reactions) to identify expectations, obstacles, and motivations. This allows for precise adjustment of communication and maximizes the impact of each interaction, whether in a professional or personal context.

Rather than generic techniques, it is about understanding the real functioning of the human being and adapting one's discourse to the person in front of: capturing attention, arousing curiosity, reducing resistance and triggering action.

Objective: to concretely increase your chances of obtaining the desired result, with efficiency, finesse and respect for others.

Italy has a lot of charm because of its diverse culture: the language, the Renaissance, the opera music, but also Laura Pausini and the Bolognese sauce :-)

Italian, with a degree in "Languages and Literatures" (I am fluent in French, English and German), I have extensive professional experience as a language teacher.
My strengths:
- Since I am multilingual, I know all the good tips to really master a language (if I can do it, you can too!)
- I'm serious, but I also have a sense of humor. During my classes, we never get bored.
- I'm open to different solutions: I can also teach you another language at the same time (verbs in Italian and English at the same time? Compare their usage? No problem!) or even cook with you: Bolognese sauce? Why not?
Bye for now !

Hi, I'm Michael. I'm from Switzerland but I spent most of last year in Brazil, where I was doing research for my PhD in history and where I was once again in the position of learning a foreign language – a valuable experience for any language teacher. Languages are my passion, whether learning or teaching them.

I have over 10 years of experience in teaching German as a foreign language on the most diverse level, in language schools, high schools and even a prison. Thus I can offer tailor-made individual classes. The pillar of my practice-based method is that the students use the language on topics and situations that are really important for them, be it daily-life situations or specific topics they need vocabulary for. Of course, grammar explanation and practice is important, too. And there is also a place for fun, through learning games, German songs etc.

Hello

My name is Claire, and academic support has been at the heart of my work for several years. I hold a Master’s degree (Master 2) in Educational Sciences and have specialized in helping students with a variety of learning profiles, whether they are experiencing a temporary block or have ADHD, are gifted (HPI), or have learning difficulties such as dyslexia or other “dys” disorders.


Why This Specialization?

Some students learn intuitively—their curiosity and their unique way of thinking make every session stimulating. Through my experience, I’ve worked with many students who, despite strong abilities, face challenges within the traditional school system.


Several factors can explain these obstacles:

• Around 30% of students have an “atypical” profile (ADHD, gifted, dys disorders...). These students each have their own way of understanding new concepts. They often need hands-on experiences, repetition, reformulation, or visual aids to make sense of information.

• A lack of self-confidence: No student is “non-academic.” However, repeated difficulties can lead to a loss of motivation and a feeling of failure. For example, a child struggling with reading might dread reading aloud in class for fear of stumbling over words in front of classmates. This can lead to avoidance and reinforce the difficulty.

• Understanding how we learn is key: Learning to understand oneself and identify what works is an essential step—but not always easy without guidance. A student might struggle with multitasking. Without recognizing this challenge, it’s difficult to develop strategies to complete exercises or assessments under good conditions.


Why Private Tutoring?

I’m often asked: why not teach in a classroom?

I enjoy working with a variety of ages and levels. I truly see the benefits of one-on-one tutoring, where I can quickly identify what’s not working and adapt right away. Every student helps me grow in my methods and knowledge—it’s a truly enriching exchange.


As a mother myself, I also understand how hard it can be for parents to manage their child’s schooling. Being a parent is not the same as being a teacher. The reality of family dynamics often doesn’t allow for that role. And yet, students who struggle in school often need support with specific methods—outside the classroom setting.


What kind of support do I offer?

1. Targeted support (primary & middle school): to overcome a specific difficulty (reading, spelling, math, English, etc.).

2. Ongoing academic support: weekly sessions throughout the year to strengthen skills and organization.

3. Special preparation: help with oral presentations, public speaking, and customized evaluations.

4. Early childhood learning: introduction to reading, sounds, and numbers.

5. Reading acquisition: step-by-step support for fluent reading and solid comprehension.


Methods and Tools


1. Creation of personalized teaching materials


I don’t rely only on textbooks or ready-made resources. I create customized lesson materials, broken down into clear steps and perfectly suited to each student. The goal is for the student to leave each session with a clear, structured handout to help with memorization and review. Since knowledge is interconnected, I often combine subjects based on yearly goals.


2. Tailored evaluations and progress tracking

• I use evolving assessments to track progress and adjust learning methods.

• Exercises progress in difficulty to build long-term understanding and confidence.


3. Structured sessions and work organization


I often recommend two sessions per week. This allows a concept to be introduced, absorbed, and reused while maintaining a steady rhythm.


Example of a French lesson:

• Session 1: 30 min on a key concept, 15 min of work planning, 15 min of practice exercises.

• Session 2: 20 min review, 40 min of reading and text comprehension.


This approach avoids cognitive overload and supports progressive, effective learning.


4. Building independence


Beyond knowledge, I teach students how to be more organized:

• How to structure their notes to ease revision.

• How to plan study time to avoid last-minute cramming.

• How to manage time and stress during tests and supervised work.


We also work on strategies to avoid careless mistakes, quickly understand instructions, and manage time effectively during exams.


Pricing and Follow-up


Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is—especially for students with ADHD—to leave each lesson with a written, organized summary. These students often struggle to synthesize what was covered in class or extract the essentials.


A two-part pricing structure


Each session includes two essential components:

1. The lesson with the student—a time for active learning and exchange.

2. Preparation beforehand, which is crucial to tailor the session to the student’s unique needs.


What does this provide?

• Truly personalized follow-up

• Flexible teaching: lesson content and duration adjust to progress and challenges.

• In-depth work: crafting tailored resources takes time but is key to an effective session.


Let’s be honest: I’m not Mary Poppins :) Learning takes time, patience, and effort. I don’t have magic powers—but I do have a clear goal: to help each student become more independent in their learning, in a structured and supportive environment that empowers them to overcome their difficulties.

✅Practical sessions aimed at providing you with tools, techniques, methods and strategies to better formulate your messages, choose the right words and arguments, and more effectively obtain what you want, by understanding the psychology of your interlocutors and the mechanisms of human communication.

You're constantly negotiating—at work, with your family, in your relationships. The difference between reaching an agreement and remaining dissatisfied often lies in how things are said, the timing, and the other person's understanding. The goal is to learn to decode your interlocutors (their motivations, resistance, and ways of operating) and adapt your verbal and non-verbal communication to be better understood, without confrontation or power struggles, with finesse and efficiency, until these reflexes become second nature.

The approach integrates the analysis of behaviors, modes of expression, and verbal and non-verbal signals (semiotics, relational dynamics, profiles, and human reactions) to identify expectations, obstacles, and motivations. This allows for precise adjustment of communication and maximizes the impact of each interaction, whether in a professional or personal context.

Rather than generic techniques, it is about understanding the real functioning of the human being and adapting one's discourse to the person in front of: capturing attention, arousing curiosity, reducing resistance and triggering action.

Objective: to concretely increase your chances of obtaining the desired result, with efficiency, finesse and respect for others.
