Boost Your English & / or Italian Conversation – Fun and Easy!

From 61.27 $ /h

I grew up abroad, studied in English, and have always worked in English-speaking environments. Over the years, I’ve led teams, coached individuals, and offered private sessions on various topics — including conversational English.

In schools, there’s often a strong focus on grammar, which is important, but not enough time is spent just talking. To really improve a language, you need space to speak freely, make mistakes, and have fun — and that’s exactly what I offer.

I can teach in English or Italian, and the sessions are relaxed, empathetic, and fully tailored to you. We can chat about everyday life, hobbies, travel, work — anything you like — and do exercises, reading, listening, or vocabulary practice if you want.

One of my favorite moments was working with my 12- and 13-year-old niece and nephew in Italy. They started off a little shy, but over time their confidence and English improved so much that when we traveled to the US last year, we could all converse easily and have fun with it.

The sessions are fun, stress-free, and flexible — your pace, your topics, your learning. Let’s practice together and enjoy the journey to more confident English (or Italian!) conversation.

Extra information

It’s important that students have a basic level to provide a starting point for conversation. If the level is too low, meaningful conversation becomes more difficult. Please note, this course is not focused on grammar exercises — it is purely conversational, aimed at improving everyday speaking and listening skills.

About Me

I love teaching languages because I enjoy seeing people gain confidence and have fun while learning. I’m a relaxed and empathetic teacher, and I adapt each session to the student’s needs, interests, and pace. I believe the best way to improve a language is through conversation and practice, not endless grammar exercises.

I enjoy working with students of all ages who are curious, motivated, and open to speaking — whether it’s everyday conversation, travel situations, or specific topics they want to explore. Having grown up abroad, studied and worked in English, and learned other languages myself, I know how important it is to feel safe, comfortable, and supported while practicing.

In my lessons, we’ll chat, laugh, and explore topics that interest you, with optional exercises for reading, listening, or vocabulary. My goal is simple: help you speak more confidently and enjoyably, at your own pace.

I specialize in teaching children and adults. I make learning creative and fun and completely tailor made to each student's learning style and strengths. I place a strong emphasis on intuitive learning through speaking and reading and I let the grammar and vocabulary knowledge build naturally. I do follow textbooks when required but I also lesson plan around it, using the student's interests to make the class interesting.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

I completed my studies in teaching Italian as a foreign language at a university for foreigners. I have been teaching Italian online for 15 years and currently work at a language school in Zurich. It's my passion, and I'm happy to share it.

Hi there! My name is Jana and I am excited to be your tutor! I teach English, Business English, French and Italian but my professional background is in renewable energy, sustainability and public policy. I always saw languages as a tool to open new opportunities and will be happy to guide you on your journey to fluency. Over the years, I have worked as a mentor and educator, helping students and young professionals develop their confidence, communication skills and academic or professional goals. I particularly enjoy helping people become more comfortable speaking and expressing themselves in a foreign language. As a teacher, I prefer a conversational and personalised approach. Rather than relying on textbooks, I focus on real-life communication and creating a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable practicing and making progress. If that's something that resonates with you, I will be happy to see you in my class.
