English and Italian lessons with particular attention to grammar, conversation and speech development

I am an Italian native speaker and I am fluent in English, having lived a decade in a few different places in the UK. Furthermore I speak Spanish to a beginner-to-intermediate level.

I’ve got two passions in life: music and cultures and they both relate to languages. Music is known to be a universal language and different cultures connect with, and influence each other, through the use of spoken language.

My formal education lays in music, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, and a five-year diploma as a Jazz bass player from the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado in Milan.

I’ve been teaching music for fifteen years and during the last one I've decided to expand over to languages, by taking up the challenge to combine my passion for teaching with the love for languages. I’ve developed the latter during my many years abroad, where I shared my everyday life with people from all over te world.

My method is essentially based on grammar and conversation, alternating the two based on the student’s level of fluency. Once the basics are mastered I focus on conversation, especially providing thorough explanation about typical words and expressions and their various acceptations within different contexts. At times I may also add the odd etymology side note when relevant. I also like to use readings upon subjects that are of the student’s interest, as this aids in nurturing their motivation.

Given the transformative and fluid nature of speech, my aim is to deliver an organic learning experience, able to be put to fruition from the start and in everyday life, but that also won’t fail to address the differences between formal and informal interactions. Hence, avoiding inhibit a swift communication in favour of grammatical accuracy.

A second level of my teaching focuses on expanding the student's writing skills and this is aimed to individuals who may have achieved a solid grasp of the basis and a wider knowledge on vocabulary. This is because writing is an art on its own and its objective is to convey one's true thoughts and feelings, therefore it requires a dedicated effort.

I can teach in English, Italian and Spanish and lessons can be either in person at your place or mine, or via Zoom.

Arabic language for beginners and advanced students, both spoken and written.
Every language taught is a bridge built; it holds the power to enrich lives, spark creativity, and cultivate respect for the beautiful tapestry of human cultures. Embracing the passion for language education is to inspire others to embrace the world in all its vibrant complexity. Not to mention that teaching languages is not just an educational endeavor; it is a profound act of connection. It opens doors to understanding diverse cultures, fostering empathy, and breaking down barriers that divide us. This class is designed to help students master Arabic in both spoken and written forms, but most importantly it is crafted to help students explore the fascinating journey that is this language and enjoy the enchanting nature of the culture behind it. We will explore the Arabic alphabet, delve into its diverse grammar, and cover a wide range of additional topics to enrich their understanding of the language. Students will learn to speak Arabic proficiently, construct both simple and complex sentences, and engage in basic conversations with confidence. In addition to covering the required reading material in their syllabus (e.g. "Qisas An-Nabiyeen").

English classes for all levels, from children to adults.
In the classes, the objective is to go deeper into all the aspects of English that are more difficult for the students, reviewing at the same time other aspects that have already been acquired so as not to forget them. Normally, the students' mistakes are due to the previous knowledge they have of Spanish, so we can remedy them with practice and continuous correction of exercises. Before starting the private classes, we will try to establish the student's personal objectives in order to shape the classes to their needs.
