Meet your teacher
I am an L2 Italian tutor, ready to guide you on this fantastic journey through the Italian language. On this page you will find my presentation and also the explanation of my teaching style.


Let me introduce myself
Ciao, I’m Giordana, an Italian L2 tutor with two years of experience and a passionate polyglot. I hold language certifications in Spanish, Portuguese, English, and German, and I have a degree in Languages, Literature, and Cultural Mediation. I was born and live in Italy, but my curiosity and studies have led me to live in Spain, Austria, Peru, and Brazil. Every experience is an opportunity for growth and enrichment, and it is this passion for diversity that I bring into my courses.
When I have free time, I take photos (the pictures you see on the website are mine), read, draw, and dance salsa. On weekends, I never miss concerts and chats with friends over a coffee or a glass of wine. As we say in Italian, I don’t like to sit idle.
My method
Having been a language student myself, I have experimented with various methods and approaches, learning to get the best out of each of them. My method combines dynamism and engagement with a solid theoretical foundation. Lessons are supported by texts, especially for grammar study, and are enriched with historical and cultural insights, debates, readings, and videos. The main goal is for the student to feel confident and fluent in conversation, which I consider the key to language learning.
As a teacher, I adapt my approach to meet each student’s needs, taking into account their level and preferences, whether they favor a more structured, book-like approach or a freer, more practical style focused on everyday communication.
Active conversation
Let's learn living, real Italian. We work with articles, videos, podcasts, and cultural insights to understand how the language really works. Observe, participate, discuss: the lesson is practical and engaging.
From materials we move to structure. I clarify grammar and vocabulary with simple explanations and targeted exercises, so you can use what you learn right away. Less abstract theory, more real practice.

Grammar and vocabulary in practice
Every student is different, so every lesson is too.
Adapt the route to your goals, level and learning style: conversation for travel, academic Italian for Erasmus, professional language for work. You tell me what you need, I build your study plan.
We always start with you. Let's talk, tell each other about the week, and define the lesson goals together. It's time to melt your tongue and feel comfortable in Italian right away.
