Which kind of students do you teach?
I teach adult students of all levels and nationalities, from very beginners to advanced. Whether you are a business person who needs Italian for work, or a student going to Erasmus, or simply an Italy lover, I will set up a specific learning plan for you.
Where do lessons take place?
Classes are held online only and you can choose from:
-
Italki classroom
-
Zoom
-
Google Meet
-
Microsoft Teams
How can I book my lessons?
If you are interested in taking lessons with me, please book a trial first.
The trial is meant to let us get to know each other and discuss your needs and goals.
You can choose your preferred day and time from my Italki schedule.
Why should I use Italki?
Booking on Italki will allow you to build your lesson history through chat, notes and lesson recordings.
Moreover you can be safe with the payment process.
How can I pay for my lessons?
One-to-one live sessions will be paid through Italki.
I need to reschedule/cancel a lesson. What's the policy?
If there is more than 24 hours before the lesson time begins, you can reschedule/cancel your lesson for free.
If there is less than 24 hours before the lesson time begins, it’s not possible to reschedule/ cancel for free and you have to pay for the class.
I have already studied some Italian.
How can I know my level?
No worries: we will figure it out during your trial class.
If you want to get an impression of your level, compare it with the CEFR -Common European Framework of Reference for languages.
Do I need to buy something for the course?
You don't need to buy anything! I will send you all the material we need via email or Google Drive. If you prefer working from a textbook, I will gladly recommend the best one for you, after talking about your goals and learning style.
I need to take an official exam for Italian.
Which are the most important ones?
Do you prepare students for them?
The main official exams for the Italian language are CILS from University for Foreigners of Siena, and CELI from University for Foreigners of Perugia.
I'm a CILS and CELI examiner, hence I prepare students for all levels of these exams. I will explain to you how the exam works and help you practice by providing sample tests.
I also prepare students who need to take the CILS or CELI to get the Italian citizenship.
