I always deliver my language courses around two key concepts: seeing language as a means of effective communication and giving students confidence in their own linguistic abilities. This often includes preparing tailor-made courses, with defined, verifiable goals.
I teach English as a foreign language, Italian and French, online or face-to-face.
“Julia’s Italian conversation classes, both face-to-face and (during Covid-19) on Skype, are well-prepared, fun and creatively tailored to my interests.”
Prices may vary depending on type of course (conversation, for travel, academic, business etc.). Rates for face-to-face lessons agreed separately.
45, 60 or 75-minute lessons, based on hourly rates of:
£GBP 20 for individual lessons, online
£GBP 35, shared by group of 2 or 3 persons, online
10% discount for 10 lessons – payment in advance.
“You are learning with a very professional linguist who draws on all her experience and cultural awareness to deliver an enjoyable and useful lesson.”
