Natalia Zakutskaia

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.
