About Me

I am Ovidiu "Ovi", I was born in Romania, grew up in Italy and obtained my BSc in Environmental Sciences at Brunel University London. 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!

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.

Daria
SPEAK ITALIAN LIKE A NATIVE WITH DARIA/SPRICH ITALIENISCH WIE EIN MUTTERSPRACHLER MIT DARIA
Ciao, caro amico ! 🖐🏼 No more boring grammar and learning irrelevant texts. Italian is a language of emotions and gestures 😍🙏🏻🤙🏼 We will study the most beautiful language via interactive tools, videos activities and role-play dialogues no matter what level you're on. I'm the only one who teaches Italian dialects (they are so different) Students enjoy my lessons because I'm a good listener and make every lesson personalised. Since 2020 I've been helping people level up their Italian for study, professional and immigration reasons. What's your goal ?

Stefania
Learn Italian for studying, working or simply for fun
Italian is a nice sweet sound language. You can easily learn Italian by getting fun at the same time. We will learn how to build a main sentence and a bit of grammar analysis to make you up to speed and learn Italian in a short time. If you then wants to practice more because you need for work for instance, we will build more complex sentences

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
Hello 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 !!

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.
