Private Italian Lessons in Rome
Premium 1to1 private Italian lessons in Rome
Walk, Talk, and Learn Italian in Rome
Ciao! I’m Serena a published author and one of Rome’s leading experts in teaching Italian to English-speaking students.
With over 10 years of teaching experience, I’ve helped hundreds of Americans and Brits bridge the gap between textbook Italian and real-life Italy.
While I mostly focus on writing my books these days, I’ve decided to offer a select number of students the opportunity to experience Rome while practicing their Italian under my personal guidance.
I offer “Walk and Talk” classes — an immersive way to explore the Eternal City while speaking Italian naturally.
Prefer a quieter setting? No problem. We can meet at a peaceful café or arrange a private office space for more focused lessons.
Thanks to my deep understanding of both Italian and English language structures, I create personalized, high-quality conversation lessons designed to get you speak Italian in a natural way.
About Me
- While I’ve spent many years teaching online, today I mainly focus on writing books and creating content for language learners. However, I still offer a unique opportunity: to practice Italian while discovering Rome through the eyes of a local.
- I combine story-based learning (particularly effective for beginners) with experiential learning — helping you absorb Italian naturally through real-world experiences.
- My teaching method is specially designed for native English speakers
About You
-
You’re not a complete beginner — you’ve already studied Italian and can hold a basic conversation (B1 to C1 level).
You’re ready to move beyond textbooks and start speaking Italian in the real world. -
You want more than just grammar drills — you crave authentic conversations, spontaneous discoveries, and real connection.
-
During our sessions, you’ll be talking most of the time, with minimal pauses for notes or detailed explanations — because real fluency comes from doing, not just studying.
-
You’re curious, open-minded, and eager to explore Rome beyond the tourist clichés — discovering hidden neighborhoods, secret cafés, and the true soul of the city.
-
You also understand that these lessons are informal and dynamic: we might be walking through a lively Roman market, sipping coffee in a quiet corner, or finding a peaceful spot to dive deeper into conversation.
-
If this sounds like you, you’re exactly the kind of student I’m excited to work with.
