Throughout my academic years, I helped different researchers with their duties, both in the literature and in the laboratory.Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and data science were a big part of my studies and the roles I had. At TfL, I currently work in a variety of GIS-based teams who make efforts to maintain and improve the transport network within Greater London. This is demonstrating to be excellent experience, which is enriched by the great people within the organisation.
Alongside my main role, I have some connections with academics at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and the University of Zambia, with whom I carry out health-based scientific research on Africa.
I enjoy travelling, reading and playing chess, both casually and professionally. Feel free to contact me!

Emma
Italian lessons. Italian lessons online or in person.- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living in Rome. I have 10 years teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests and availability of the student.
- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and put the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course and for each lesson I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

Additionally, the Market-to-the-Table experience is a unique activity where we take a journey through local markets to select fresh, seasonal ingredients. After handpicking the finest produce, meats, and herbs, we return to the kitchen to prepare and cook a meal inspired by what we've found. This activity not only highlights the importance of sourcing quality ingredients but also teaches you how to create a complete, authentic Italian meal from start to finish, with an emphasis on sustainability and freshness.

The magnificent ITALIAN language from an Italian girl!Italian is one of the most beautiful language in the whole world; and what’s better than learning it from an Italian girl without having to move from your couch?

Italian Lessons in person. Individual or Group classes.Come join an informal Italian class!
After years of experience, I can tell that private lessons in the city are the most engaging and fun we can have :)
Let's take an espresso and speak spontaneously in Italian.
We can have more structured lessons, starting with my explanation, or more free, using random topics.
I like to use flashcards, elicited conversations, realistic dialogues, written inputs, and much more.
I'm happy when my students ask me for specific topics or questions, so please be spontaneous and proactive :)
We can have a short lesson (45 minutes), a normal lesson (60 minutes), or a long lesson (90 minutes).
One or two times a week.
Individual or group classes.
We can first meet online, so you start knowing me and you decide if you would like to meet in person.
Don't hesitate to contact me.
Ciao!
Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any levelHello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.
I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.
The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).
Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
Paola

During the university period I gave private lessons to erasmus students in Italy and now I give individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online.
I use a book that I integrate with different materials. Conversation is very important, but so is listening and understanding a text.
The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information.
A presto!

Online private lessons in Italian language, culture, and lifestyle. All levels. Master of Arts Leiden University, Ditals I.If you wish to brush up your Italian, resume a past series of lessons, or simply start from scratch learning Italian, this is the right lesson for you! I like to personalize each class/course according to the needs and goals of my students. My classes are focused on improving the student's communication skills. At beginner and lower intermediate levels, I prefer using a text book/ student book in the first part of the class. I usually use "Nuovissimo Progetto Italiano" and "Arrivederci" by Edilingua, or "Nuovo Espresso" and "Dieci" by Alma Publishing. For the second part of the lesson, I create engaging contents using original videos, press articles, extracts from blogs and social media, literary texts. If the students do not feel comfortable using Italian from scratch, I can switch to English, German, or Dutch. The course fee includes the correction of home assignments.
