A tailor-made course of Italian language and culture, offered twice a week, is often the most appreciated solution by those staying in Puglia for an extended period.
If you are a beginner, I suggest you to start with an Italian Discovery or an Italian Explorer course. After that you can continue with tailor-made lessons twice a week.
If you have an intermediate or advanced level, you may choose a package of lessons twice a week: this will be a nice appointment to complement your spontaneous learning – which naturally occurs in your daily life – with a focused learning and conversation in class.

Why should you choose an INDIVIDUAL course and not a group course?
To feel free to enjoy all the time you need, for you, with a private native speaker teacher. You’ll be at the very heart of each lesson: no need to wait for your turn to speak, no need to forcely adapt your interest to other students’ interests, no need to follow a fixed program. All the time will be for you: time to speak, practice, enjoy at your own pace.
What about the METHOD?
It’s all about an immersive learning experience. It’s based on the most up-to-date international researches about language learning.
The interactional and conversational approach will help you to increase at the same time your fluency and grammar competence. The linguistic examples based on your personal story and daily life will help you to fix rules and expressions in your long term memory. The inductive approach will help you to easily learn and remember new rules. Mind maps will be a great support for learning new words. The variety of material will boost your attention and curiosity. Role plays, games and task-based activities will make you enjoy and will help you to use Italian in real life situations.
All of this strategies together will create a joyful and pleasant atmosphere, will raise your engagement and will make you feel at ease, at the very centre of your learning experience – that are an essential part for a real long-lasting language evolution.
A little extra reserved to you: during the course I’ll be happy to share with you my proved learning strategies to boost your Italian language knowledge.
What about your EXPERTISE as a teacher?
I’m a lifelong learner and I’m enthousiast about languages, psycholinguistics, communication and learning strategies. That’s why I had my latest academic training in 2024.
