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 was traveling and rather than cancel the lesson Liliana did the best she could with my spotty internet service in the car while my wife was driving and my kids were making noise in the back seats. It was fun though!

I love my lessons with Liliana. She makes everything interesting and fun and she is very patient. I have used other teachers before and find her methods to be more helpful than my teachers in the past. I highly recommend Liliana to anyone interested in learning Italian and I look forward to working with her toward truly speaking and understanding Italian

I have been working with Liliana for a few months now and I have enjoyed every minute of it! I am learning quickly and having fun while I do! Liliana tailors her lessons so I learn while discussing things that are interesting to me. She also modifies her approach to her students' learning styles. I know this because she's also teaching my wife, whose fluency is at a different level and my wife learns & studies differently than me. I love that Liliana never corrects me; instead, she guides me to solve things for myself. I am looking forward to continuing my learning until I am fluent.

Another great lesson. I love Liliana's enthusiasm and her ability to tailor the lessons to my level and my interests
