📖 I love learning foreign languages, literature and linguistics. I attended several courses at university on language acquisition and teaching languages.
📖 I spend my free time learning foreign languages🇯🇵 🇩🇪 🇬🇧
📖 I now live in Japan and I am interested in topics as living abroad, travelling, food, nature.
📖 Talkative as well as an attentive listener, I'm sure we will have LOTS of topics to talk about.
📖 Curious about cultures and people, I really look forward to knowing more about you.

Making mistakes is totally normal and part of the process. I will create a safe environment for you to practise and improve your speaking skills. You won't have to worry about taking notes because I will write everything down for you and send you a recap after class, if you want.
My lessons & teaching style
ITALIAN
⚪ My lessons are mainly focused on conversation, as I believe that speaking -and listening- are the skills that should be trained the most when it comes to language learning. If you expose yourself to the language, you will consequently and naturally absorb grammar structures as well.
I have myself learned Japanese to an advanced level in one year just by being exposed to the language.
⚪ My lessons are for students who have already learned the basics.
JAPANESE
⚪ I offer a course for beginners in Japanese where we will explore the basics of the language, learn how to make our first sentences, study kanji and practise conversation.
⚪ I can also help with JLPT study (I have N1!).

Alessia continues to amaze me how she can turn a half hour Italian chat into a rich learning environment and confidence building session for me.

Alessia is simply the best teacher ever. The way she explains grammar is incredible; she always knows the right thing to say and how to say it in a way that makes perfect sense. She is so kind, patient, smart, and funny... everything someone would want in a teacher. Our conversations are always so interesting and I'm learning more Italian than I thought was possible. I couldn't recommend her more!

Alessia is as good at listening as she is at keeping a conversation going with questions and observations- I couldn’t be more pleased with Alessia‘s skills
