About Me

About my classes šŸ˜Š
In our lesson, we'll focus on a pre-selected topic for discussion. Weā€™ll begin by reading a short text and then dive into questions designed to spark conversation. Along the way, we'll learn new vocabulary related to the topic, and by the end of the lesson, we'll reflect on the conversationā€”identifying areas that need more attention and celebrating the strengths youā€™ve already developed.

Donā€™t hesitate to jump into the conversation! Speaking is the key to mastering the language, and Iā€™ll be here to guide you through each step. Mistakes are more than welcomeā€”theyā€™re the best way to learn and solidify your knowledge!

About me šŸ˜Š
My name is Nicole, and Iā€™m a native Italian speaker with 4 years of experience teaching Italian online. Based in Milan, Iā€™ve had the pleasure of helping over 300 students improve their Italian skills.

In addition to teaching, Iā€™m passionate about languages myself. I speak English, Spanish, German, and I can hold conversations in Portuguese and French. Iā€™m also an avid reader, especially of novels and self-development books. Traveling and exploring different cultures are some of my greatest joysā€”and of course, I love great food!

Additional useful information šŸ˜Š
Each student has a personal folder where all class materials are uploaded for self-review, including a new working page from every lesson that tracks vocabulary learned. Additional homework is also provided to reinforce learning, which can be checked at the student's request in the next class.

I also create a personalized notebook to track your progress from our first lesson and send homework for each topic we cover. Homework can be reviewed at the start of the next lesson to assess whether to move forward or reinforce the topic further.

No-show policy: I will wait for you for 15 minutes, if you don't show up without giving further notice I will consider the lesson completed. Thank you for understanding! :)

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU! CI VEDIAMO PRESTO!

My trial lessons

The trial lesson is composed of 2 parts:
- first 15 min (approx.): I explain how classes with me work and I'll listen to your introduction, your specific goals and previous Italian knowledge and anything else relevant to our classes that you want to share with me.
- last 15 min (approx.): mock class where we pick a small topic and discuss it together to assess level and create a personalized plan.
