Think faster and become more confident
when using your Italian
Focus on thought-provoking topics so that you will make new, meaningful connections in Italian.
1:1 lessons
Our 1:1 lessons are fun, meaningful, and thought-provoking.
Our 1:1 lessons are your safe space, where you can express your ideas, make mistakes, and truly be yourself in Italian.
How does it work?
After an exchange of emails to discuss your needs,
We’ll have our first lesson where we’ll get to know each other better and I’ll assess your level of Italian.
We’ll mainly focus on speaking so that you can improve your confidence and think more quickly in Italian.
We’ll slowly move the conversation away to more difficult areas/topics to help you use the vocabulary you already know to explain you point of views and then we’ll be adding vocabulary as the lessons continue.
We’ll also learn grammar in context and you will have the chance to practice listening and writing with some out-of-class-time activities.
All levels welcome.
Kind words from my students
“Giulia is very patient and a good listener. I wanted the opportunity to be able to speak freely and she was very accommodating. She gave me some points to work on and I feel like I know what to do now to improve my Italian. Giulia has a lovely and calm temperament which is something I really value in tutors.”
— Mina - Iran / UK
“As always, Giulia is encouraging and helpful. The time passes quickly, and at times I forget that we’re speaking Italian! To me this is huge, because it’s a sign that Giulia is helping me to overcome my fear of speaking Italian, which is really just amazing. Thanks for all of your help, Giulia!”.
— Naomi - USA
“Every interaction with Giulia is excellent. She is always well prepared, conversations are great, material is well selected, and she's also really good at remote teaching and the appropriate use of technology”.
— Astrid S. - Germany / Ecuador

What other students say
“I wanted to practise my writing in Italian. You can practise on your own but without a teacher's assessment, it is difficult to know if there are any mistakes in your writing.
Giulia helped me to become more aware of some mistakes I often make.
She is an excellent teacher!
She has the knowledge, creativity, patience and respect for her students that it takes to be a high quality teacher like her.
I learnt so much in this course. Writing good answers to any topic requires thinking, reflecting, searching for vocabulary. In short, you gave me interesting exercises that enriched my Italian. Thank you very much!".
— Julian - Argentina / USA
“Giulia, thank you so much for my personal experience which has been incredible for me!!!
I learnt to write quickly because I always had plenty of thoughts in my head to tell you.
After these three months I started writing in Italian almost as fast as I write in Russian!!!
I realised that I do not think too much about how to write!
I am absolutely free to express my thoughts in Italian and I do it without difficulty. I am happy to have made this breakthrough while collaborating with you!!!
— Lidia - Russia
“Hi Giulia, thank you very much for evaluating my efforts in practising my Italian.
It is really important for my confidence!
It was special to work with you because I had the opportunity to reflect and comment on different topics, some serious and others fun and light, practising my active skills in both speaking and writing and always counting on your valuable corrections and feedback.
Yes, your corrections were really helpful because they were in context.
And in context, our brain retains information for a long time.
You are very patient, kind and nice! Thanks again!
