About Me

I'm a bilingual English-Italian woman who has recently moved to Paris.
I love teching and I think it should be done in a fun communicative way for both teachers and students.
I teach both English and Italian as I'm native speaker in both languages; I have qualified and gained an exensive experience in teaching both.
I also offer translation services in these two languages.
I'm very sociable and love interaction so our lessons will be a way not only to learn but also to socialize and familiarize with the culture you love.

Together with being a teacher I'm also a Bach Remedies practitioner and a Gestalt counsellor helping people with emotional problems.

English lessons to adults and kids (native speaker) - Exams Prep - fun and communicative approach!

44 € /h

I am a bilingual (English-Italian) C.E.L.T.A. certified Cambridge professor and experienced teacher offering English classes for any age and any level from pre-school kids to adults.
I also prepare for Cambridge and Trinity exams focusing on any aspect of the language to best suit students' needs and goals.
I believe a second langage should be learnt in a communicative and interactive way at any level with a specific focus on speaking; for this reason also grammar and vocabulary are always integrated within a communicative teaching frame and are given a real life context to stimulate motivation to learn and interact.
With children emphasis is put on songs, games and having fun with the second language according to the Total Physical Response theory in language teaching field.
One-to-one lessons are available or small groups.
Learning is fun!

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

Language Classes: I will focus on teaching grammar via textbook exercises and tailored ones, as well as helping putting grammar into practice through a conversation based class.

Cooking Classes: I will teach the basics of Italian Cuisine as well as any more specific recipes. I can spam from easy appetizers to complex desserts and main courses. For all the recipes, the most important ingredient is enthusiasm :)

Always enjoying languages, I grew up in an international culture and school. I indeed lived 6 years in Italy during my childhood and therefore speak fluent Italian. This made it easier for me to learn English (obtaining Cambridge KET level in 6th grade) and German, which I present all three at the baccalaureate. I also learned Spanish on a personal basis by passion for languages!
Having therefore learned four foreign languages myself, I am passionate about this objective and will take great pleasure in helping you achieve it.

This course is therefore open to everyone, for discovery as well as for further study (up to level C2 in Italian, C1 in English and B2 in German). You can learn to understand, speak, read or write this language and progress at your own pace.

Feel free to contact me for more information !

Hello!!! I would be thrilled to have you for student. We offer Spanish and Italian lessons at a native level and always make sure to keep a high-quality learning. Do you need a last minute lesson to prepare you for an examination? Do you wish to improve your language level rapidly and efficiently? Are you moving soon to Spain or Italy ? Do you need to prepare yourself for an interview? Well, you have chosen the right teacher! :-) I can make you discover the Spanish/Italian culture through the lessons and make sure that you will be able to speak properly Spanish/Italian once in Spain/Italy (or who knows Brazil... ;-) ).

* Students taking their IB/ GCSEs/ A-Levels or other exams can be guaranteed to get the top grades (but you also need to do your homework and revise your notes ;-) ). I can also help students at the university in business, economics...

* Students who are willing to learn Spanish/Italian for fun, let's do it! I can make the lessons fun for you and we can talk about many subjects.

You have got a question? I'm waiting for you to send me a message. No questions? You can directly book your first lesson and I'll do my best to give you your desired time slot. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

I offer language tutoring and support (Italian, Polish, German, and English) for children and teenagers attending school in Paris. Polish, Italian, and German are my mother tongues: I grew up between Italy and Poland, and I lived and studied in Germany for 10 years. Today, I am a student in Paris and I would like to support young people with their learning or homework.

I understand French, but classes will be held in English or a language I speak fluently (Italian, Polish, German). I adapt to each student's level and pace, in a caring, structured, and motivating atmosphere. Classes can be held at home or online, depending on your preferences.

Passionate about languages and foreign literatures, I would like to help you discover my language by offering courses tailored to your needs and goals. With a Franco-Italian university degree in literature, I teach students of all levels as well as adults.

Having learned French myself through direct contact with native speakers, I place great importance on learning through practical use of the language. Therefore, after discussing your goals and language level, I will offer you numerous role-playing exercises to ensure that learning vocabulary, grammar rules, and typical expressions is immediate and enjoyable.

Depending on your goals, we can then focus in more detail on the points that are causing you difficulty, which I will explain while giving you tips to aid memorization. I can even trace the origins of certain expressions, if you're interested, to gain a deeper understanding of the language's structure and its hidden similarities with French.

On the other hand, if you don't need to delve deeper into grammar, that's not a problem: we can simply continue practicing conversation and learning to communicate in everyday life situations.

My main goal is to get you using the language as quickly as possible. And if you already have an advanced level, this will be an opportunity for me to introduce you to Italian literature, cinema, or music, as well as the aspects of my culture that interest you most.
