Italian for Everyone – Learn, Practice & Feel Confident

From 49.86 £ /h

Ciao! I’m a native Italian speaker with international experience, and I truly understand how intimidating it can feel to start from zero to learn a new language, or to want to improve but feel stuck. I’m also passionate about psychology, and I love sharing practical, ready-to-use tips to help you memorise better and learn in a way that feels easier and more natural.

My lessons are relaxed, but efficient and fully tailored to you. We focus on real-life conversational Italian, leaving space for guiding you to practice speaking from the start, but always with no pressure and plenty of encouragement and support. I work with all levels and adapt each lesson to your pace and goals.

Online lessons available, with flexible scheduling.

Extra information

Lessons take place via video call. A laptop or tablet and a good internet connection will help us have a smooth and comfortable lesson.

Lessons are adapted to your pace and goals. A short chat at the beginning helps me understand what you need and how you learn best.

About Me

Ciao, I’m Beatrice. I’m originally from Milan, and I’m a native Italian speaker.

I’ve lived and worked in international environments, mainly in England and Switzerland, and I’m deeply curious about people, cultures and the inner processes that shape how we learn and grow. This curiosity is what led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology alongside my professional work.

I’m a reflective and empathetic person, with a strong interest in people, psychology, personal growth, and philosophy, as well as learning about different cultures. I’m also drawn to spirituality in a grounded way, and I practice yoga and meditation as tools to stay present, centred and connected.

I value calm, considerate and meaningful conversations, and I’m inspired by spaces like circles, where people can share, listen and feel seen without judgment. Outside teaching, I enjoy learning, reading, travelling and spending time in nature.

I bring this same presence and care into my lessons, creating a space where there’s no need to perform, just room to learn, explore and grow at your own pace.

I’d be happy to meet you, hear your story and understand what you’re looking for on your learning journey :)

Meditation for Calm & Presence – A Gentle Introduction

44.97 £ /h

This class offers a gentle and accessible introduction to meditation for anyone looking to slow down, reconnect and find a sense of calm. No previous experience is needed.

Each session includes a short introduction to meditation, simple guidance and practical tips to help you feel more comfortable with the practice and bring it into daily life. The meditation itself is guided in a supportive and non-judgmental way, with a focus on breath, body awareness and presence.

Remember there is no pressure to “do it right”, meditation is about showing up as you are. Drawing from mindfulness, meditation and my background in psychology, I create a calm and inclusive space where you can explore the practice step by step, at your own pace.

This class is suitable for complete beginners as well as for those who already meditate and wish to reconnect with a softer, more grounded approach.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

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!

*Complete Beginner Level (Level 0) Welcome!
*Various Resources - PPTs, Homework, Workbook, Quizlet, and Interactive tools
*You Will Gain Self Confidence and Learn Real Korean.

Are you a complete beginner? That's okay! Let's start with the basics, such as correct pronunciation and conversational Korean skills. I'll help you develop the confidence you need to communicate effectively in Korean.

If you already know the alphabet, I can help you take your Korean to the next level. I use a variety of teaching methods and resources to make learning Korean fun and engaging.

I’ll provide presentations, materials (textbook, news article, video clips, also on your need and interest), and homework to help you succeed.

*You can ask for a group class with your friends or family

[Korean for Beginners]
Are you a complete beginner? No worries. Let's start by studying the correct pronunciation of sounds step by step, beginning with the 10 vowels: ᅡ, ᅣ, ᅥ, ᅧ, ᅩ, ᅭ, ᅮ, ᅲ, ᅳ.

I will guide you on how to pronounce them correctly, because good pronunciation is essential for learning any language. By starting with the fundamentals, we can make learning Korean easier and smoother. So, let's get started and master these important sounds together!

[Conversational Korean]
I am a big fan of Korean dramas, and I will use them as examples to show you how Korean is spoken in real life. This will help us develop a deeper understanding of the language and its nuances.

I will teach you how to speak Korean in both formal and informal settings, so that you can understand real Korean more effectively. My lessons are primarily designed for those who wish to improve their conversational Korean skills, and I will teach you how to speak in a fluent and natural way. Additionally, I will provide you with many expressions and phrases commonly used by native speakers to help you sound more like one.

I am also happy to assist with written Korean, whenever a student requires it.

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 !!

The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information.

A presto!

Preparation for DEFL and DAFL for all levels.

I have a master's degree in business engineering and international trade, a certification in FLE and a master's degree in teaching in progress.

Methodology :
- Initial assessment: For each support I will carry out a diagnostic assessment to identify the student's strengths and weaknesses in the subject concerned (mathematics, French, science, etc.).
- Personalized approach: Courses are adapted to the student's level, with individualized monitoring. This includes practical exercises, targeted revisions, and explanations adapted to each learning pace.
- Progressive objectives: we set short and long-term objectives together to motivate the student and measure their progress.
- Learning techniques: I use interactive methods (online exercises, educational games) and revision sheets to help memorize and understand key concepts (flashcards, etc.)

Typical sessions:
- Course of the sessions:
- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to introduce and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.
- Questions and corrections: 10-15 minutes at the end to answer the student's questions and correct mistakes together.
- Regular monitoring: I plan regular assessments to adjust the learning method and adapt the pace of the lessons.

So what are you waiting for? Join me for an unforgettable adventure!

This class is designed for students preparing for the AP Italian Language and Culture exam who want to strengthen their speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills. As a native Italian speaker who grew up in Italy and now studies in the United States, I understand both the language and the expectations of American students preparing for the AP exam. I also personally took the AP Italian exam and earned a score of 5, so I am familiar with the structure, timing, and strategies needed to succeed. Lessons focus on AP-style practice, vocabulary development, cultural topics, and strategies for each section of the exam, including conversation, essays, and interpretation of audio and written materials. I help students organize their answers clearly, improve pronunciation and fluency, and build confidence so they can perform at their best on exam day.
