Hi, guys! My name is Lucia and I would like to invite you to learn Italian with me.
I am both a native speaker and a QUALIFIED teacher, as I hold a post-graduate degree in “Teaching Italian as a second language” and a national certification as teacher of Italian to not-native speaking.

My teaching method is COMMUNICATION-oriented and involves also the study of Italian culture and grammar. Indeed, as it happens in your mother language, the knowledge of spare words is not enough to get able to speak (i.e. INTERACT!) properly and conveniently.
I’ll prepare for you all teaching materials, tailoring lessons to your needs and interests, taking advantage from both the huge number of textbooks I hold and my creativity!

I offer lessons for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced, as well as support in preparation to certification exams (I am also qualified ad examiner for the oral part of CELI).

Do not hesitate to get in contact with me to find a suitable time-slot for your trial lesson!

I just had my first Italian lesson with Mojra and it was great. She is a very enthusiastic and happy person and seemed to really care about helping me to improve my Italian. Although her English is very good, she was quite strict about making me speak almost only in Italian during the entire lesson. My Italian is at an A2 (low intermediate) level but with seemingly infinite patience and useful hints, Mojra helped me to ask my questions in Italian and I felt my confidence grow as the lesson progressed. I asked for help on knowing when I should use the dreaded subjunctive in Italian (congiuntivo). Mojra had some interesting material on the subject and some exercises that both helped me to practice and, at the same time, taught me some interesting things about Italy. We laughed a lot and I was quite surprised to find that I had been speaking almost entirely in Italian for an hour. The time flew past. I think Mojra is an excellent teacher. You should try a lesson with her.

I’m not here to waste your time—and I won’t let you waste mine.

I give 100%. Always. My energy, my skills, my focus—they all go into making sure you succeed. That means classes that are effective, engaging, and yes, even fun. I coach you through your doubts, push you past hesitation, and get you speaking from day one. No fluff. No empty promises. Just real progress.

Yes, my fee is high—because the quality is high.

You’re not paying for a chat. You’re paying for transformation. For results. For someone who’s fully invested in your progress and doesn’t settle for mediocre.

But this is a two-way street.

I respect your time, your goals, and your effort. I expect the same. If you’re the type to constantly complain, cancel at the last minute, or come up with excuses—don’t contact me. I have a cancellation policy and I stick to it. My time and energy are not up for negotiation.

I don’t work with arrogant people, and I’m allergic to hypocrisy.

If you’re ready to show up, do the work, and grow—I’m all in. Let’s make it happen.
Book lessons with me if you’re serious about learning—and ready to get results.

✅ Want to pass the Dutch exams “Basisinburgering A1” or “Inburgeringsexamen A2”? I’ll train you to succeed on the first try—with your full commitment and my professional, high-energy approach, we make it happen.

✅ Live in the Netherlands and still not speaking Dutch confidently? Let’s fix that. You'll connect more deeply with your environment—and with yourself.

✅ Need Italian for work, life, or pure love of the language? I’ll help you live it, not just study it.

✅ Studying Spanish for school, pleasure, or work? You’ll gain real confidence and speak it with clarity—fast.

I also help students:

– Handle real conversations with ease—from daily chats to professional meetings and presentations
– Overcome fear, shyness, and learning blocks
– Reclaim their confidence and speak like they mean it

My method? No gimmicks. We talk. A lot. From the very beginning. I use direct, spontaneous conversation, often through role plays, to get you using the language—not just studying it. I bring in books, articles, songs, and anything that keeps things alive and stimulating. Grammar becomes clear, pronunciation improves, and progress becomes natural.

I’ve taught for years—Dutch, Spanish, and Italian—in the Netherlands, in private institutes, in integration programs (Inburgering), and now online from Italy. I know what works.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancel at least 24 hours in advance. No exceptions. My time is precious—and yours should be too.

Want to see if we’re a good match? Contact me for a free trial. Let’s talk about your goals—and then go achieve them.

Hello my name is Lucia and I am a native Italian speaker.
I have a degree as an interpreter for English and French so I know how hard it may be to learn a foreign language. I work as a free-lance interpreter and private English and French teacher. I have a strong passion for languages which I have been studying for many years. I am studying Spanish now and always trying to improve my English and French knowledge. I am a friendly person and my lessons mainly focus on conversation. As a teacher I am very patient and I always propose tailor-made lessons with respect to your needs. I am really enthusiastic about being a teacher because this activity allows you to share your culture and habits with foreign people. Learning a language is also learning a new culture.

Hello, everybody ! My name is Elena. I’m a native Italian speaker, I’m 49 years old and live in Turin. I am a certified CEDILS teacher, I graduated in Foreign Languages and Literature in Milan and have been working as a teacher of Italian for more than 10 years. I speak English and German. I attended specialization courses for Italian L2 teachers and I am interviewer for C1 PLIDA exam.
Are you seeking a friendly and dynamic study environment ? I got what you need. I am looking forward to being in touch with new students and organize pleasant, interesting and fruitful courses.
Do you wish to learn or improve your Italian to speak with your parents or friends? Do you need Italian for work or study ? Do you simply love Italian language and culture ? Do you need to improve your writing skills ?
My classes are tailored on your needs and considering your level of knowledge, I create a proper course plan. Classes focus on language and on the possibility for you to improve your ability to speak and understand Italian in your daily life or in work.
I offer 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 tuition, general Italian courses (grammar, conversation, listening, reading and writing), preparation to Italian examinations (all levels, also Italian for residence permit) and Italian and culture courses.
Grammar, vocabulary exercises, reading articles and magazines and talking together are all tools to feel at ease with the Italian language and then be able to practice it.
I have worked with children, adolescents and adults for all levels of Italian, from beginner to advanced. I have experience in preparing students to international certification (CILS, PLIDA). I was an A2/B1 Telc examiner.
Learning Italian can be closely related to culture, literature, music, sport and any other interest of my students.

If you’re ready to show up, do the work, and grow—I’m all in. Let’s make it happen.
Book lessons with me if you’re serious about learning—and ready to get results.

✅ Want to pass the Dutch exams “Basisinburgering A1” or “Inburgeringsexamen A2”? I’ll train you to succeed on the first try—with your full commitment and my professional, high-energy approach, we make it happen.

✅ Live in the Netherlands and still not speaking Dutch confidently? Let’s fix that. You'll connect more deeply with your environment—and with yourself.

✅ Need Italian for work, life, or pure love of the language? I’ll help you live it, not just study it.

✅ Studying Spanish for school, pleasure, or work? You’ll gain real confidence and speak it with clarity—fast.

I also help students:

– Handle real conversations with ease—from daily chats to professional meetings and presentations
– Overcome fear, shyness, and learning blocks
– Reclaim their confidence and speak like they mean it

My method? No gimmicks. We talk. A lot. From the very beginning. I use direct, spontaneous conversation, often through role plays, to get you using the language—not just studying it. I bring in books, articles, songs, and anything that keeps things alive and stimulating. Grammar becomes clear, pronunciation improves, and progress becomes natural.

I’ve taught for years—Dutch, Spanish, and Italian—in the Netherlands, in private institutes, in integration programs (Inburgering), and now online from Italy. I know what works.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancel at least 24 hours in advance. No exceptions. My time is precious—and yours should be too.

Want to see if we’re a good match? Contact me for a free trial. Let’s talk about your goals—and then go achieve them.
