About Me

I am a native Italian speaker with a professional background in psychology, academic research and communication.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with people from different backgrounds, and this has taught me that everyone learns differently. My approach is therefore practical, flexible and personalised: I adapt each lesson to the student's level, goals, interests and way of learning.

I particularly enjoy working with adults and professionals who want to use Italian in real-life situations, whether for work, travel, living in Italy or simply becoming more confident in conversation.

My aim is to create lessons where students feel comfortable speaking, asking questions and making mistakes, while progressively developing a more natural and confident use of Italian.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Hi there.
Need to learn Arabic!?
I am Ahmed, a professional Arabic instructor.
I have experience in teaching Arabic & Greek.
I speak three languages.
Arabic (native)
Greek (native)
English (fluent)
If Arabic is not your native language, I can teach you to understand the language and learn to speak, read, and write Arabic (colloquial or formal) as well as learn grammar.

I have experience teaching students from age 5 to adults who wish to learn Arabic for work.

Learning a foreign language should be a moment of relaxation.

I have been tutoring Arabic since 2018 and have multiple methods to teach according to the student's needs.

Furthermore, I am a Greek instructor, translator, and interpreter.

So, if you are interested, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to helping you achieve your language goals and making the learning process enjoyable and effective. Together, we can explore the richness of Arabic language and culture while enhancing your communication skills.

Hi, I'm Paola and I'm a graduate in Italian Literature and I also have a master's degree in Teaching Italian to Foreigners.
During my time at university, I gave private lessons to Erasmus students in Italy. That experience further strengthened my interest in teaching. For many years, I have been giving individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online to students of various levels. Whether you want to learn or improve your Italian, I am happy to help you.
I use a book that I integrate with different materials. Conversation is very important, but so is listening and understanding a text.
The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information.

A presto!
