My name is Maia, I am 23 and Italian, but have moved to the UK just over 4 years ago to pursue my university studies – first at the University of Glasgow, now at the LSE. I've been teaching and tutoring children, teenagers and adults (including UN professionals) in English, Italian and Spanish for longer than I have been in higher education! As someone who has navigated the challenges of learning new languages myself, I understand what it takes to communicate effectively. I love sharing practical hacks and tricks to help my students memorise vocabulary, understand speech, and master grammar through clear explanations, fun facts and etymology insights. I offer flexible hours and lessons tailored to your goals, proficiency and needs, including exam preparation for A levels, University, CELI and Italian citizenship exams. We can focus on formal or informal communication according to your preference. I'm here to help you gain skills, confidence, and help you succeed! Let’s work together to make your language learning journey both effective and enjoyable. Feel free to reach out to get started!
