Make Italian a part of you
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.
My method to help you find your way within the living language.
These are not standard lessons, but an exploratory journey through which you can absorb the Italian language and understand it from within. The goal is not simply to store information in memory, but to develop a true linguistic awareness born from a real experience of the language.
👋🏻 Hi, my name is Brandon and I am a native Italian speaker.
I work in language education, helping foreigners, students and international artists gradually develop a mastery of the Italian language and a solid linguistic awareness.
It is one of the things I love doing most in life.
My approach to language and teaching is very natural and leaves plenty of room for lived experience. It stems from 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
“……I discovered in him a very wise and deep person……If today I’ve been able to overcome so many difficulties and find the strength to keep studying in Italy, I also owe it to his help……For me, he is truly one of the most important people I’ve met in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!……” - Yilin Piao

The heart of the method
Experiential method:
We will act out 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 understand the dynamics of standard pronunciation and phonetic details in everyday life.
During our conversations, and throughout the experience with stories and songs, I will take note of the new words and expressions we come across; for each one I will explain the meaning, the context of use and the possible nuances.
"Grammar" is not a sterile list of rules, but a tool for giving logical shape to the web of our thoughts and emotions. I will guide you to understand the dynamics of sentence construction more clearly, from the simplest to the most complex.
🫱🏻🫲🏿 Ongoing support:
If you have any questions after the lesson, you can contact me on WhatsApp or WeChat. I will reply as quickly as possible. I believe that removing small, sudden blocks can be crucial to moving forward more smoothly.
🌿 A memorable experience:
Learning a language does not mean memorizing rules and vocabulary, but absorbing another way of feeling and thinking, through which we can add new facets to our personality and gain new points of view from which to evaluate reality.
I believe this deeply, and it is with this state of mind that I devote 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 relate to themselves and to the world around them.
