I’ll adapt my method to your needs and abilities. For me, knowledge is not the transmission of information, but a construction of understanding built together step by step. 👉 I’ll provide you with personalized teaching materials: PowerPoint presentations created by me, PDFs with texts, grammar and culture books, educational videos, etc. I will also give you plenty of recommendations for books, m...

Paola is the perfect teacher: always interesting to talk to about everything, patient, friendly, intelligent and knowledgeable. The different subjects and materials she brings to class are always fascinating - from poetry and literature to history or world news - and she knows how to adapt her lessons to my interests and needs. The past few lessons in which we translated poems from Latin to Italian have been a delight. I always look forward to our weekly class :) Grazie Paola! 🙏

Studying Italian with Paola has been truly delightful. I felt immediately comfortable with her as she is so patient, clear, gentle with corrections, and easy to talk to. I appreciate how quickly she picked up on my interests, and as a result I genuinely enjoy doing my homework :) I always look forward to her lessons, Paola is a class act.
