Learn italian well
One-on-one lessons with an experiential method 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.
We explore Italian from the inside, to understand this language not as a system of rules, but as it lives in the logic and way of feeling of an Italian.
👋🏻 Hi, my name is Brandon and I am an independent language trainer, a native Italian speaker.
I work on pronunciation, diction, natural conversation, Italian culture and mindset, and I present grammar in a logical-emotional key to make it more intuitive and easy to remember — it is not the classic method based on a pre-printed textbook, but a way to encounter, understand and absorb the living language.
Teaching is one of the things I love most in life.
My approach is very natural and based on direct experience. It comes from years spent teaching and from continuous study, but above all from who I am and from an inner journey that has never stopped. It is no coincidence that I named it "LA BUSSOLA ITALIANA® 🧭🇮🇹 " (Click to learn more)
If you feel this is right for you, I am here.
My students' words
(a few brief summaries)
“……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
THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
You're starting from scratch or want to improve your Italian by absorbing the living language, not just grammar.
You study at university, at an academy or conservatory and need help with exams, texts or projects.
You want to prepare before coming to Italy to study or to live better in everyday life.
You study Italian out of passion and want to learn it in a more natural way.
You are a singer, actor, performer, speaker or use your voice for work, and want to improve your pronunciation, fluency and expressive naturalness..
How we will learn together
My method differs from the traditional one because it bases learning on direct experience. It is more natural, less mechanical, but this doesn't mean it's slower. On the contrary, it's easier to remember something when you experience it firsthand.
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.
