Hello!
My name is Ilaria and I studied International Communication at "University for Foreigners of Perugia", but don't worry (in Italian we would say "tranquillo"), I'm 100% italian!
I have a certification of competence in teaching Italian as a foreign language or second language (CEDILS) issued by the Ca' Foscari University of Venice.
My first experience in teaching Italian as a second language was in 2009 in the south of France.
Once back in Italy I began teaching Italian to foreign students at school...it was 2010.
I've been doing it since then and my students come from all over the world. Today I know for sure that is not enough to be a "native" to teach someone a language.
Grammar is often considered boring but we can't avoid learning it. Only when you know the role and function of every single word in a sentence you'll have a solid understanding that will improve your confidence in speaking a foreign language.
It's like to lay the foundations for building a house!
So, what can I do for you?
I can make my experience and knowledge available to you and make your learning process easier and faster without forgetting that it should be also pleasant and enjoyable.
If you're not a beginner we can better explore the language and see together all its nuances.
We can concentrate on lexicon, common expressions, pronunciation and much more.
I'll guide you but first of all your needs will guide me to trace the path in reaching our common objective!
Do not hesitate if you have any questions. I'll be happy to answer you.
Thank you for your time!
I hope to see you soon at the trial lesson!

Working with the direct, indirect and combined pronouns is a lot for my English brain to understand, but with patient explanations and a lot of practise I know I will look back on this and be so grateful for illarias guidance through this! Its one of the lovely things of learning a language, when you start and don't know how you will ever remember everything, but slowly it all starts to become clearer and make sense! :-)

Excellent lesson with Ilaria as always, helping me break some old habits, working through grammatical errors and new grammatical challenges always combined with a nice chat and conversational practice. I'm thoroughly enjoying my Italian journey with her...slowly slowly....piano piano... hopefully improving!
