My lessons are structured essentially in two parts.

The first part centres primarily around the study of the structural elements of Italian language (lexis/vocabulary and grammar). The second part consists of activities that develop communication skills, encouraging your written and spoken expression through discussions, listening exercises, songs, films, short compositions and games.

Lots of time is dedicated to activities that encourage dialogue and discussion about various topics, from art and literature, to modern city culture.

Lessons are stimulating and interactive, organized in a relaxed environment in which learning feels like a natural process. If we work together, you will speak in a fluent way, widen your vocabulary and you will feel confident in your communication with others.
