Alessandra G.

Hi! I'm Alessandra, a native Italian speaker with a lifelong passion for teaching. I'm friendly, easygoing, and love books and learning about other cultures. I have years of teaching experience helping students overcome their difficulties. Every lesson includes conversation practice plus varied materials (books, images, audio, etc). Ready to start? Book a lesson and let's reach your goals together!

Every lesson is built around real conversation and tailored to your level and goals. I use varied materials, authentic texts, images, audio, and short videos, to develop all four skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing, with no fixed textbook. The homework I assign isn't a standard exercise, but something designed to add real value to your Italian. I check in regularly on your progress and give clear feedback. If you're a beginner, we can start in English and gradually shift to full immersion as your confidence grows.

I hold a CEDILS certification (Certification for Teaching Italian to Foreigners) from Ca' Foscari University of Venice. Over the past two years, I've built my teaching practice, helping students at every level, from absolute beginners to advanced C1 speakers. I believe language learning goes beyond grammar rules: it's about building a genuine connection between teacher and student.

Although I hold degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering, my true passion is teaching. Volunteering at an after-school tutoring program was a turning point: it revealed how much I love helping people learn and overcome the blocks that hold them back, which eventually led me to language teaching.
