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 !

About Me
Italian from Sardinia, I started studying my first foreign language at the age of six. Since then I have never stopped having fun learning languages. I love to see my students making progress. For me, any individual can learn a foreign language: you just have to have the right method.
Polyglot (I speak fluently Italian - mother tongue -, French, English, German), I myself have experienced all the difficulties of learning a language (eg pronunciation, exams, memorization ...). I know all the tricks to get to master a language at any level and in any difficulty. So I developed on my own an educational methodology that has always worked. Now I like using it with my students. She works perfectly.
During my classes I do my best to create a good atmosphere: a little humor, a little fun, a little joy ... and here in the good mood we simply learn better and faster!
So, that's me. Nice to meet you!

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.

Claire
Hello, my name is Claire. I hold a Master’s Degree (M2) in Educational Sciences and have been supporting pupils and students for several years in French, methodology, and exam preparation.


My approach is based on two key principles:

- 100% personalized support thanks to tailor-made learning materials.
- Building autonomy and confidence through regular, structured work.


My areas of expertise:

- Exam preparation (middle school certificate, high school diploma, baccalaureate, competitive exams, oral assessments) → text commentary, literary analysis, essay writing, methodology.

- Academic organization & coaching → study planning, time management, revision methods, oral preparation.

- French (written & oral) → reading, grammar, spelling, writing, oral expression.

- Specialized support → confirmed expertise in working with ADHD, gifted (HPI), and dyslexic (DYS) profiles, using adapted methods. My role also includes a diagnostic approach: helping identify whether difficulties stem from attention issues, a particular learning profile, or simply methodological needs, in order to guide students and families toward the right tools.


Why my lessons make a difference ?

Each student benefits from a structured and personalized study plan:

1. Objectives are defined together at the start. The student receives clear goals and a detailed schedule over several weeks.

2. I create a shared online agenda, where students can track what needs to be prepared for the next session.

3. Teaching materials are sent in advance and adapted week by week.

4. Regular assessments are built into the process (after major sessions or at the end of a period, such as a trimester).

This approach allows students to:

1. Have a clear vision of their progress,

2. Gain precise benchmarks,

3. Work on both subject content and study methods within a structured framework.


Methods and tools:

- Personalized learning resources: summaries, worksheets, exercises tailored to each student’s needs.

- Regular assessments: to monitor progress and adjust methods.

- Structured organization: balance between learning concepts, practice exercises, and methodology.

- Fostering autonomy: learning how to plan revisions, organize study time, and manage stress.


A 100% online format:

- Accessible throughout Switzerland and internationally.
- Digital tools to share materials and track progress.
- Flexible scheduling and continuity, even when traveling.


Rates and support:

Each session includes two components:

1. The live online course – interactive and personalized.
2. The preparation beforehand – essential for adapting the lesson to the student.
