Learn italian well
1-to-1 lessons with an experiential approach
Whether you're just getting started or looking to improve your Italian, if you're determined to learn, I'll be very happy to help you, share everything I know with you, and accompany you on your journey towards mastery of the Italian language.
Learn Italian in individual lessons through an exploratory journey to discover this language from the inside and absorb it in a more natural way.
The goal is not just to accumulate information in memory, but to develop a linguistic awareness that grows from a real experience with the language.
👋🏻 Hi, my name is Brandon and I am a native Italian speaker.
I work in language education and help foreigners, students and international artists develop a gradual mastery of the Italian language and a solid linguistic awareness.
It is one of the things I love most in life.
My approach to language and teaching is very natural and leaves ample room for lived experience. It stems from a long experience in the field of teaching and learning, combined with a constant inner journey and continuous personal study. It is no coincidence that I have named it LA BUSSOLA ITALIANA® 🧭🇮🇹 (Click to learn more)
Come to me if you wish to learn Italian with a language guide who teaches with presence, empathy, enthusiasm and spontaneity in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.
My students’ words
“……During our first lesson, I was impressed by his kind and engaging way of teaching, and by his cheerful personality……together, we explored various parts of the language by observing it from the point of view of a native speaker……his passion for teaching is something that always inspires me……in his relaxed and welcoming environment, I find the courage to open up……little by little, I began to communicate with the mindset of a native speaker, no longer as a student under examination — a true transformation……” — Chen Yulu
“……Among all of them I believe that Brandon’s method is the clearest and most effective for me… In particular, when he explains grammar, he manages to make me clearly understand in which contexts different structures are used through his personal way of reasoning, and his explanations stay deeply impressed in my memory… From pronunciation, to the way of expressing oneself, to the way of thinking and learning, Brandon has his own approach, original and well structured… I feel that from his lessons I have learned much more than just a language……” - Liu Chang
“……I study opera singing at the conservatory, and his lessons have been of great help to my musical journey……He never criticizes me harshly: even when I make mistakes, he always corrects me patiently and gently, and I never feel uncomfortable……” - Yu Jiawen
“……He is not only a good teacher but also a good friend… Our lessons were not as rigid as the traditional teaching I was used to back home... Brandon has many teaching materials in PDF format, clearer and easier to understand than traditional textbooks… Every time I finished a lesson, I felt my interest in Italian growing, and I was more and more eager to speak with Italians… By learning with him, one can find a great deal of pleasure in studying; this greatly increases the chances of success, because it stimulates curiosity and the desire to learn more deeply!……” - Li Qian
Whatever your starting point may be, you are welcome to join me if you wish!
Feel free to get to know me if:
you are starting from zero, or would like to improve your Italian skills;
you are a university student who needs help passing exams or revising projects;
you are learning Italian as a personal interest;
you are a singer, actor, performer, speaker, or a non-native Italian speaker who uses the voice as a working tool and would like to improve pronunciation, tone, fluency, and expressive naturalness in Italian.
How we will learn together
My method differs from the traditional one because it is based on the direct experience of learning Italian. It is more natural, less mechanical, but this does not mean it is slower. On the contrary, it is easier to remember something when you live it in first person.
Experiential method (***summary):
We will imitate together characters from engaging stories, and sing together songs that have accompanied the last two generations of Italians. All of this combined with a diction course to gradually understand and master the dynamics of standard pronunciation and phonetic details in everyday life.
During our conversations, and during the experience with stories and songs, I will take note of the new words and expressions we encounter, and for each one I will explain its meaning, context of use and possible nuances.
"Grammar" is not a sterile list of rules, but a tool to give logical form to the interweaving of our thoughts and emotions. I will guide you to understand more clearly the dynamics of sentence construction, from the simplest to the most complex.

Course format:
- Online 1v1 lessons via Voov Meeting (with IPAD and/or COMPUTER), + WhatsApp for sending files and notes.
- I dedicate myself to teaching every day of the week. We will decide together when to meet based on our free time.
🫱🏻🫲🏿 Continuous support:
If after the lesson you have any questions, you can contact me on WhatsApp or WeChat and I will reply as soon as possible. I am convinced that clearing small sudden blocks can be decisive in moving forward more fluently.
🌿 A deep experience:
Learning a language does not mean memorising rules and vocabulary, but absorbing another way of feeling and thinking with which to add new facets to our personality, and to gain new points of view through which to assess reality. I am deeply convinced of this, and it is with this state of mind that I dedicate myself to learning and teaching every day. Many students tell me that this experience has changed them, not only in the way they speak Italian, but also in the way they are with themselves and with the world around them.
