Sadly, the teacher did not show up for the cancel and did not cancel it... I had to wait without any notification before or excuse after the session. Needless to say how disappointed I was...

Erica is an excellent tutor. She is patient and helpful and has helped my confidence in speaking and listening. She is always clear and very responsive -- and also fun. I would highly recommend Erica.

My lesson with Erica was great! She is very patient and pays attention to every mistake I make. Loved it! See you next week for my next lesson.
I'm an Italian and English language tutor. I am a native Italian speaker, currently living in London. I have two years of experience teaching online and face-to-face lessons in London and Bologna, my home town in Italy. I have lived in several countries, including Spain, Australia and finally landed in the UK where I have lived for the past 5 years. I've got a Degree in foreign languages, which provided me with the structure and techniques to become a language tutor.
What to expect from our classes:
- FREE trial lesson, to get to know each other and help you set your goals.
- Course shaped upon your interests and needs.
- Classes are split between grammar rules and conversation (or conversation only if you're intermediate/advanced).
- Classes based on online materials (articles, videos, images etc..). You have the option to pick the topic and I will prepare the lesson.
- Pronunciation and slang
- Constructive feedback, and support for my students in a friendly study environment.

Teaching Approach
During our first class:
- Assess your level, set your goals and learning path. You will have the chance to discuss your preferences on topics, study methods and availability for me to structure your tailored-made language course.
- For advanced students, I usually focus on conversation and give feedback. The aim is to expand your vocabulary, focus on specific topics, Italian common expressions (those you wouldn't learn from books!) and pronunciation!
- For beginners, I will start from the basics. We will always mix new words, some grammar, and everyday sentences. From the very first class, you will learn and practice simultaneously. I usually include videos, images, and online resources to make the lessons more interactive.
