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!

Sophie
Italian native speaker offers Italian classes in London
Ciao! Nice to meet you, I am Sophie. Teaching isn't just a profession for me; it's my passion. I absolutely love sharing the beauty and richness of the Italian language with others. The joy of witnessing my students develop their language skills is truly incomparable. With years of experience in teaching Italian to learners of all levels, I understand the nuances of the language and the challenges you might face. I'm here to guide you every step of the way. My lessons are designed to equip you with practical language skills that you can use in real-life situations. I understand that every learner is unique. My lessons are tailored to your specific goals, whether you're learning for travel, business, or pure enjoyment. So, whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your existing skills, my lessons are your passport to Italian fluency!

Lara
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? Absolutely nothing. I’m Lara and I’m a 21 years old student in Pavia. I’d love to introduce you to this language via webcam online. I speak English very fluently as well and I’m also nice and used to be around children, if you need lessons for your younger son or daughter.

Noah
Italian language and Italian culture courses - study with an Italian teacher from Tuscany, the region in the heart of Italy.
Italian is a wonderful language for its diversity and musicality, which fascinates people all over the world. Obviously, it is a language that requires application and practice for its learning. This is why I organize my courses in a hybrid way: For beginners : First, we will learn how to read and pronounce words correctly, as well as the first basic constructions for communicating (subject, verb, complement). Secondly, we will discover the different phenomena of the Italian language, focusing on their use. The goal is to start expressing simple thoughts, while communicating and having fun learning the language. For intermediaries: We will deepen the knowledge of the language and consolidate basic constructions, while adding new knowledge. The goal at this level is to begin to express more complex thoughts and, above all, to be able to express oneself independently. For the advanced: The enrichment of the Italian language and the expression of emotions and opinions will be at the heart of our work. The materials I use come from books, manuals, videos, podcasts, and are personalized for each of my students.

Emilce
English Language and Linguistics (A level and UG) and Year Abroad dissertation help (Fr, Sp, It)
In this course, you will learn a range of linguistic methods and learn the terms used for describing a specific aspect of language or phenomenon (lexis, morphemes, and 'telegraphic stage' to give a few examples). The course requires you to explore your own data using quantitative and qualitative analysis (eg: how frequently are slang phrases used? Are there new auxiliaries being created?). No historical linguistics or literature is involved, but language change or specific traits will be sampled via your own data collection (if this is what is demanded in your course). As many students need to present a "year abroad" dissertation at University level (3rd year in the UK of a Modern Languages or Linguistics Undergraduate course) I can help you to research and structure your year abroad work, both in English (Linguistics) and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish). The topics that have arisen from recent discussions with students relate to French Caribbean writing, Italian resistance and reprisals in Rome (Fosse Ardiatine), and Spanish Etica franquista in films (among others).

Asma
Arabic and Italian classes (I am a native speaker for both)
Arabic Tutoring: I offer personalized Arabic lessons for all levels, focusing on Modern Standard Arabic (Fus'ha). Whether you want to improve your grammar, reading, writing, or conversation skills, I create engaging lessons tailored to your learning style and goals. With a strong background in Arabic linguistics, I ensure students build confidence and fluency in a supportive and motivating environment. Italian Tutoring: As a native Italian speaker, I provide dynamic and interactive Italian lessons for beginners to advanced learners. I help students strengthen their grammar, vocabulary, and conversation skills while introducing them to Italy’s rich culture. Whether you need academic support or simply want to learn the language, my classes are designed to be effective, enjoyable, and adapted to your specific needs. *I am native speaker in both languages.

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 !!

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.

Silvia
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.
