    About me

    Translated

    Show original

    Hi there! My name is Raffaella, I was born in a small town in Southern Italy and studied between Tuscany and Naples. After working for many years in the humanitarian sector and living in different countries, I moved to France, where I now live with my partner and our bilingual son.


    I have a background in Italian linguistics and foreign languages, and I specialized in teaching Italian to foreigners thanks to the CEDILS certification I obtained from Ca’ Foscari University in Venice.


    Italian is my mother tongue, but I also speak French, English, and Arabic fluently. Having learned several languages and lived abroad, I understand both the challenges and the joys of language learning. This helps me better understand your needs and motivate you on your journey.


    I’m new to LearnZone, but I already have two years of experience teaching Italian to students of various ages and cultures. My experience in intercultural communication allows me to create a welcoming, respectful, and stimulating environment where you can feel comfortable and also celebrate your cultural identity.


    As a teacher, my goal is to help you speak Italian with confidence and progress according to your interests. During our first lesson, I will listen carefully to your goals and tailor the lessons to your level, from beginner to advanced.


    I can offer you:

    • Structured lessons (conversation, grammar, vocabulary, practical exercises)

    • Or more informal lessons based on conversation

    • In any case, we will always start from real-life situations.

    • And we will use various engaging materials: articles, songs, videos, movie excerpts, and much more, to make learning rich, dynamic, and deeply connected to Italian culture.


    Book your first lesson, I can’t wait to create a personalized journey for you!

      Raffaella makes every lesson fun and engaging. Each class has structure and objectives that are challenging but not frustrating. She uses videos, worksheets, and spoken lessons for each class with everything written down as well. I have really been looking forward to my lessons and feel like I am learning Italian in a way that I can use in my everyday life.

      We live out of italy and Raffaella has been giving lessons to my 9-year-old daughter who is bilingual English/Italian. I can see a huge impact in terms of widened vocabulary, pronunciation, correct grammar and improved writing. My daughter is often intimidated and put off by teachers but finds it fun learning with Raffaella and always looks forward to her next Italian lesson.

      Raffaella is very smart, encouraging tutor. She listens very well to how I pronounce Italian words and she gently corrects how I say them, which is great! I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Italian. Thank you, Raffaella.

    My specialties

    Conversational Italian

    Durante le lezioni mi concentro sulla fluidità, sull’acquisizione di vocabolario utile e sulla capacità di comunicare in situazioni reali, affrontando anche temi di attualità e cultura. Le lezioni sono strutturate con un’introduzione dell’argomento scelto in base agli interessi dello studente, la presentazione delle parole chiave e domande aperte per stimolare la conversazione. Nella fase finale dedico spazio alle correzioni più importanti e a brevi appunti di grammatica.

    Italian for beginners

    Focus iniziale su pronuncia, vocabolario essenziale e frasi semplici, con una graduale esposizione alle regole grammaticali di base. Con i beginners posso insegnare in inglese, francese o arabo, lingue in cui sono fluente, e fare riferimenti alla lingua madre dell’apprendente per permettergli di integrare più rapidamente i meccanismi della lingua italiana.

    Intensive Italian

    Nelle lezioni di italiano intensivo definisco fin dall’inizio obiettivi chiari e un percorso strutturato, costruito in base alle esigenze dello studente, mantenendo al tempo stesso una certa flessibilità. Le lezioni sono mirate e organizzate per favorire un avanzamento rapido, con il supporto di compiti a casa personalizzati per consolidare l’apprendimento e garantire progressi costanti.

    Italian for children

    Nell’insegnamento dell’italiano ai bambini adotto un approccio ludico e dinamico, basato su giochi, canzoni, immagini, storie brevi e attività interattive. Le lezioni puntano su regolarità, ripetizione e varietà, creando un ambiente positivo e rassicurante in cui il bambino si sente libero di partecipare e comunicare senza timore.

    Business Italian

    Ho un’esperienza professionale nel campo della diplomazia umanitaria e ho collaborato con stakeholder italiani, sviluppando una solida competenza nell’uso dell’italiano formale in contesti di lavoro.Utilizzo un manuale specifico per l’italiano professionale e offro lezioni con focus su colloqui di lavoro, lessico settoriale, Made in Italy e comunicazione formale, scritta e orale.
