About Me

Hi there!
I am Paola, I am an Italian native speaker with a big passion for languages and culture.
For work, I am a maître in a fine dining restaurant, so I know how important communication, elegance, and active listening are. When I'm not at work, I love traveling the world solo, discovering new places and meeting people from different cultures.
In my free time, you will usually find me reading a good book, knitting, or crocheting.
Why learn with me?
I offer Italian and Spanish online lessons focused on natural conversation, practical grammar, and real-life expression. Whether you want to learn for travel, food culture, or personal growth, I will help you speak with confidence in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Let's start learning together! 🇮🇹 🇪🇸

Education

My path in hospitality began with my studies at a specialized Hotel & Catering Institute in Italy. To deepen my skills, I later completed a course in Hospitality Management in Spain.
Over the years, I have had the incredible opportunity to live and work in Spain, England, and Australia. Living abroad allowed me to fully immerse myself in different cultures and practice foreign languages every single day in real-life, professional environments.
This international background shaped my love for communication and cross-cultural connections—something I bring directly into my language lessons to make learning natural, engaging, and practical!

Experience / Qualifications

I have valuable hands-on experience in language teaching. I worked at a language academy in Spain, running summer courses specifically designed for children. Teaching young learners taught me how to make lessons engaging, patient, and highly interactive—skills I bring into every lesson, making language learning enjoyable and natural for students of all levels.

Ciao! I have been teaching Italian for the past sixteen years, privately and at language schools including La Scuola Italiana del Greenwich Village in New York and ItalCultura, the school of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago.

During our first two lessons, I’ll make sure you have the tools to pronounce and recognize all the sounds of Italian. This step is essential, and it makes everything that comes afterwards much easier.

When I teach, I try to avoid all the things I hated as a language student. My terrifying French teacher in middle school made us repeat the same fake dialogue from a really bad textbook ad nauseam, over and over and over again. Some of it is still carved into my brain: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Richard Drapeau, je viens du Canada, je suis Canadien...”

So we won’t do that.

We’ll use real songs and real literature. We’ll have real conversations, tell stories, improvise, and, when possible, go on “talking walks.” I find that when you engage more of your senses, it becomes easier to relax, stay curious, and actually remember new words.

I customize my materials around your interests, needs, and desired pace. If you love cinema, we can work with films. If you’re interested in literature, politics, food, art, history, or simply being able to have a proper conversation when you’re in Italy, that can become part of the class.

And because you’re learning with a native Italian, you’ll also learn about Italian culture, history, habits, gestures, contradictions, and ways of thinking. Language is never just a pile of grammar rules.

I speak several languages myself, so I know both how exciting and how painfully tedious learning one can be. My aim is to give you a strong foundation without draining all the life out of it.

I hold a degree in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (Foreign Languages and Literatures) from Università Roma Tre and a Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media from Columbia College Chicago. I wrote my university thesis on translating a long epic poem by W. H. Auden, and at one point I tried to ride a horse across America.

I present to you my Spanish lessons which are accessible to all, simple, effective and fun.

Work on pronunciation, verbs, tenses in writing as well as orally.

Learning an idiom is not just words, it's understanding a whole way of thinking, and an art of expressing one's thoughts in order to refine these relationships through conversation, in a language that is not there. OUR .

Hoping to transmit to you my passion that I cultivate for this language.

Thanking you for your interest
Distinguished greetings.

See you soon
Jason

As a native Spanish, I offer lessons based on speaking -with the necessary amount of grammar, of course- adapting to all levels. For everyone who is willing to be able to understand and communicate themselves in the language, whatever the reason is. I do not offer preparation for official exams though, as I do not own the material right now. My mother tongues are Spanish and Catalan, and during the lesson we would use English as the side vechicle.

I have been helping students as a private tutor for around 6 years now, and would be very happy to help more people interested in learning! Do not hesitate to contact me.
