About Me

Ciao! I'm a native Italian speaker from Switzerland with advanced English proficiency (IELTS 8.0), currently studying International Management. I'm passionate about helping students gain confidence in Italian and English through personalized, practical lessons.

What I love about teaching:
I genuinely enjoy seeing students progress from hesitant speakers to confident communicators. Having learned English to a C2 level myself, I understand the challenges and frustrations of language learning - and more importantly, I know what strategies actually work.

My teaching style:
I'm patient, encouraging, and flexible. Some students love structured grammar lessons, others prefer conversational practice - I adapt to what works best for you. I believe learning should be engaging, not boring, so I use real-world examples, current topics, and materials that match your interests.

Who I work best with:
Students who are motivated to improve and willing to practice between lessons. Whether you're preparing for an exam, need Italian/English for work, or just want to speak more naturally, I'm here to help you reach your goals. I especially enjoy working with university students, young professionals, and anyone who appreciates a relaxed but productive learning environment.

I teach Italian (all levels) and English (B1-C1). Lessons are online via Zoom/Teams, making it convenient no matter where you are.

Let's work together to achieve your language goals!

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.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

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 !!
