About Nicole

Ciao! Mi chiamo Nicole e insegno l'italiano che si parla davvero — and if you got most of that, you're already further along than you think.

I learned English and Spanish at University of Ferrara — I have a degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures.

I teach Italian online to adults in the US, the UK, and Europe — mostly complete beginners, and people who want to use the language in real life. I prepare every lesson in advance for the person I'm teaching, and I love when my students finish the lesson feeling more confident than when they started.

Alongside the lessons I've put together a guide to the 123 most-used Italian verbs and a twelve-week course for beginners, with an app my students use to practice between lessons. So you're not on your own between one lesson and the next — there's something to do whenever you have ten minutes.

And if the idea of speaking out loud makes you nervous — most of my students felt exactly that at the start — we'll go pian piano.

About the lesson

I know that feeling: the moment you understand every word the other person is saying and still can't get a sentence out. My lessons are built to gently close that gap.

We speak Italian from minute one, even if your Italian right now is "ciao" and nothing else. I explain in English or Spanish whenever you need it, so you're never lost — but I keep bringing you back.

Mistakes are welcome here, and I mean it. You can't learn to speak a language without saying a lot of wrong things out loud first. So say them! We'll fix them together.

A typical lesson with me:
We start by talking in Italian about your week through a real conversation, so I can hear where you are today. Then we work on the situation you actually need. You get the vocabulary and the structures it takes, and then you use them while I correct as you speak and note what's worth fixing. We close with the two or three things worth remembering, and I send you written notes afterward.
Grammar comes up when your sentences need it. Every lesson is adapted to your own pace.

What you will like about my lessons:
+ Lessons built around what you actually need — travel, family, work, or just talking
+ Materials I write for you
+ The real Italian: the contractions, the fillers, the way we all talk at once
+ Correction while you speak, and written notes after every lesson
+ No fear of grammar — we get there when your sentences need it

My lessons are for:
Complete beginners (A0) through advanced (C1). They work especially well if you're traveling to Italy, moving here, have Italian family, or you've been studying for a while and still go quiet when it's your turn to speak. I also run small conversation groups for B1 and above.

I started learning Italian with Nicole from zero, and I mean really zero, I couldn’t say a single sentence. What struck me from the beginning is how attentive she is: she builds every lesson around my goal and it always feels made for me.

I’ve learned so much more than I expected. I still make a bunch of mistakes, but I feel much more confident now, and I’m starting to have my first real conversations in Italian.

I’d recommend her to anyone starting from the very beginning. Grazie Nicole!
