Whether you do it for yourself or for your loved ones, cooking is an art meant to bring pleasure and joy. Italian cuisine is not a bunch of recipes - "tomato and basil" , so to say - but is rather a holistic approach to food, which is about genuine ingredients, sensibility to taste and creativity in combinations.

*** OBJECTIVES***
The aim of this course is twofold:
1. Guide you through some classic and more niche preparations of Italian cuisine
2. Introduce you to the sort of sensibility you need to develop to start create on your own

***ABOUT THE COURSE***
Lessons are held conveniently at your place and the course can be tailored to your interests, experience and preferences. We can choose together the recipes to prepare or you can leave the decision to me, in that case I will consider the seasonality, the market offer and I will follow the inspiration of the moment.
We can also go to shop for groceries together as it all starts with choosing good ingredients.

***ABOUT ME***
Cooking and good food are life-long passions that I have always experienced in practice, through taste, discovery and personal sensibility.

Bonjour ! Je m'appelle Juliette. I'm a French student who graduated from the Sorbonne and I came to Amsterdam (UvA) to continue my studies. I'm well experienced with teaching as I teach private lessons for middle and high-schoolers since I'm 14.
I'm a language lover. I obviously know french very well since it's my mother tongue, but I'm also fluent in english.
I'm also very fond of pedagogy: I will be there to accompany your child in her/his studies, whether she/he has some difficulties in class or wants to attain a higher level.
I can also teach adults and prepare to exams such as DELF or DALF.
I have a French bachelor in philosophy and a master's degree in political and ethical philosophy. I graduated with honors and high honors.
I've also passed the TOEFL with a score of 108/120.
In total, I must have taught more than 200 hours since I started.
Don't hesitate to contact me! I would love to answer to your questions!

I graduated from a linguistic high school in 2019, studying English, French, and Spanish as subjects of focus. I also got an ESABAC degree (French diploma). Moreover, I traveled a lot to get in contact with mother tongue people and to improve my language skills. I have recently moved to the Netherlands and I am planning on starting a PPE Bachelor in September.
