Ciao!
I am a native Italian teacher specialized in tutoring Italian for beginners, intermediate and advanced learners. I have been working since 2016 for several agencies and for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office in London teaching Italian from scratch. I am also a CILS tutor and exam administrator.
I hold a Bachelor in Linguistics and Italian as a second language and also worked for the publishing of an Italian Collocations Dictionary for Italian learners.
My objective is to keep students challenged but not overwhelmed. I also like to keep lessons engaging, fun and fresh. My students say I am patient and friendly: I do think it is very important to feel safe and supported when learning a new language. So if you want to immerse yourself in the Italian culture and language but find it hard to attend a scheduled group class, or if you want to focus on specific topics or aspects and get faster progress through individual lessons, contact me to get the most suitable 1-to-1 plan for you.
*Please note: I have a Zoom Pro plan. Zoom is in my opinion the best tool for online lessons, and my paid account allows all features, with no time limit on calls. Feel free to select Zoom as your preferred tool when booking: I am the host so you do not have to pay anything to join my meeting.

I am in awe of Lilliana and her abilities to teach with enthusiasm her language in an enjoyable way. She is extremely well prepared and thoughtful about her lessons. I think she is an excellent teacher in every way. She is a good listener and a good diagnostician--she can understand what I need help on and listens and answers my questions in a way that is always helpful. Every hour is full of important substance and I can tell I am making progress. I am delighted to have her as my Italian teacher.

I am very much enjoying my lessons with Liliana. She made me feel very welcome when I began with her seven weeks ago. Her friendliness and professionalism are greatly appreciated. In addition to the lesson, Liliana sends me an email with the vocabulary and any grammatical points covered in the lesson. This is very useful as it gives me more time to absorb things. In respect of topics, Liliana has been very good at relating to the subjects that interest me and gives me ideas to think about for the following week. This homework is optional but it is very helpful. Hilary Whitworth

Wow, what an energetic, enthusiastic teacher. Lilliana was great and I look forward to my next lesson with her. She is excellent at diagnosing where I need help and she has a lot of visual tools to help.
