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 in Educational Sciences and for the past 5+ years I have specialized in supporting students with atypical learning profiles: ADHD, gifted (HPI), dys disorders (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia), and autism (ASD). As both an educator and the mother of two children with ADHD and high potential, I deeply understand the challenges linked to attention, organization, learning strategies, and self-confidence.

Why this specialization?

Every student learns differently. Some need more reformulation, others visual supports, others a more structured framework. Over the past 5 years, I have seen that:

- atypical learners often have strong abilities, but are held back by methods that don’t fit their needs,

- working on organization and study strategies makes a real difference,

- one-to-one lessons are an opportunity to use specific approaches: oral reformulation, breaking tasks into steps, learning to handle instructions, or planning revisions.

My role also includes early identification: helping families understand whether difficulties are linked to attention, dys disorders, or simply methodological needs, and guiding them towards the right resources.

Why private lessons?

Because they provide:

- a safe and supportive environment,

- a pace adapted to the student, reformulated and repeated explanations,

- a personalized follow-up that highlights the student’s strengths. For younger children, I recommend in-person lessons.

For secondary school and higher education, online lessons are also effective.

Types of support :

- Targeted subject support: reading, writing, French, maths, English.

- Study skills & organization: planning, time management, task breakdown.

- Working on instructions and problem statements: techniques to read carefully, avoid skipping words, and answer correctly.

- Exam & oral preparation: strategies adapted to ADHD, dys, or ASD profiles for stress management and focus.

- Long-term coaching: steady support to build autonomy, confidence, and lasting progress.

Methods & tools:

- Rewritten materials to make them clear and easy to understand.

- Oral learning to focus on knowledge without the overload of writing.

- Task breakdown into simple steps.

- Shared online agenda to clarify weekly tasks.

- Regular assessments to track progress and adjust methods.

Pricing & follow-up Each session includes:

1. The lesson (in-person or online), fully tailored to the student.

2. The preparation beforehand: rewriting materials, creating adapted exercises, and setting goals.

My mission: to give every atypical learner the right framework, strategies, and confidence to succeed in their education.
