Tutor for travellers with 6 years of teaching experience.

再见!我的名字叫弗兰西斯卡,我26 years old, and I teach Italian to those who are planning to visit my beautiful country!

I graduated in Foreign Languages and Translation from the University of Salerno, in southern Italy. However, I was lucky enough to spend long periods abroad during my studies. I've lived in the UK, Poland, and even Russia!

As you may have guessed, foreign languages, cultures, and travelling are my passion, but I'm also very fond of art and nature. What's something you're passionate about? Let's talk about that in Italian!

在我大学学习啊,我参加了一个课程n teaching Italian as a second language and I'm now becoming a certified teacher (DITALS I). I also completed two internships, both in Italy and abroad. In Italy, I worked as an Italian teacher in an Italian school for foreigners, whereas in Russia, I worked as a Professor Assistant at Mordovia State University. Since then 6 years have passed and I have never stopped teaching Italian!

In these 6 years of experience, I have developed my own teaching method. For my lessons, I mainly use communicative and inductive approaches. This means that you will learn to speak from the very beginning and that you will acquire grammar and vocabulary by practising real-life situations that travellers face when visiting Italy. Ordering at the restaurant and at the cafè, checking in to the hotel, catching a train and/or purchasing tickets at the train station, and asking for directions are just a few examples of what you can learn with me!

I also love using images, videos and articles on Italian culture, interviews, PowerPoint presentations, quizzes, Italian songs, and role-playing games to practice real-life situations you will encounter while visiting Italy. I provide all the materials, which include my own and textbooks in pdf.

I'm here to help you improve your Italian or learn it from scratch in a sociable and stimulating environment: if you are not afraid of making mistakes you will learn much faster (and with no stress!).

Therefore, if you're planning to visit Italy and would like to learn how to communicate with locals for a more authentic experience, I'm the tutor you're looking for! Book a trial lesson to find out more. A presto!
