Hello, I'm Natalia! Originally from Russia, I currently reside in Italy as a visiting researcher at the University for Foreigners of Perugia. I hold a PhD in linguistics and possess certifications such as CILS C2 (2020) and DILS-PG II level (2023) from the University for Foreigners of Perugia, demonstrating my expertise and commitment to contemporary teaching approaches. With 20 years of teaching Italian to foreign learners, primarily at Voronezh State University in Russia, I've honed my skills in language instruction. I'm equipped with the academic foundation to provide deep insights into language nuances. I also have years of experience in online teaching and dozens of happy and successful Italian students of all ages. In my lessons, students can expect a dynamic and interactive learning experience. I'm a firm believer in the communicative approach, which means you won't just be learning the language; you'll be actively engaged in conversations right from the start. Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an intermediate student looking to enhance your language skills, I tailor my lessons to meet your specific goals.

Miss Natalia is a great teacher with a very positive attitude. She is very knowledgeable on multiple subjects, not just the linguistics so it makes for great conversation . You will leave every lesson with new knowledge and a smile on your face.

Thank you very much! We have been studying for a month now, and Natalya pays a lot of attention to each lesson. We actively practice speaking, and I noticed that it has become easier to formulate thoughts in Italian. I am very glad that I found such a wonderful teacher with whom learning Italian is a pleasure. Regardless of the topic, be it сongiuntivo, periodo ipotetico, verbi pronominali - Natalya knows how to explain everything clearly, and then immediately reinforce it with exercises in practice. We don’t just read texts and do exercises for them, but analyze useful phrases + how to use them in other forms. Cool, very nice teacher, with a great sense of humor)

I liked the lesson, everything is clear

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Natalya for our meetings. We have been working together since February, we have already taken 9 classes, and I am incredibly glad that I made a choice in her favor (by the way, without a trial lesson). I really like everything: clear, simple, easy, with humor and interest. Thank you very much for your help and support on the way to understanding a new language!)
