Friendly, one-on-one English tutoring with a native speaker in Italy. Real conversations, real progress, and a plan made just for you.
Hi, I'm Nathan — an American from Minnesota living on the Adriatic coast of Italy.
I've been teaching English on and off for most of my adult life, across two continents. I came back to it because I genuinely missed it — and because watching a student go from hesitant to confident is one of the best feelings I know.
Every student starts with a free placement test, and from there we build a plan around your goals, your level, and your pace.
Weekly speaking sessions to build comfort, fluency, and confidence in real situations.
Emails, meetings, interviews. The English you'll actually use at work — practical and polished.
Focused preparation for IELTS, Cambridge, TOEFL, and more, with mock exams and feedback.
A free 10-minute placement test pinpoints your CEFR level (A1 to C2).
I review your results and design a personalised learning plan around your goals.
One-to-one lessons online or in person — you pick what fits your week.
We track your progress together and adjust the plan as you grow.
A friendly placement test that tells you exactly where you stand on the CEFR scale (A1 to C2). I'll personally review your results and send back a personalised first lesson plan.
Start the placement test →Most students do one or two 60-minute lessons a week. We can adjust to fit your schedule, and lessons can be online (Zoom or Google Meet) or in person depending on where you are.
Every lesson is built around you, but typically we start with a short warm-up conversation, work through one or two focused activities (grammar, vocabulary, a topic you want to discuss, or exam practice), and finish with a wrap-up. You may also get a small piece of homework between lessons — usually something fun, never busywork.
Not at all. I work with students at every level from absolute beginner (A1) to advanced (C2). Beginners actually tend to make the fastest progress because everything is new and exciting.
Pricing depends on the package and frequency. Get in touch and I'll send you the current rates — there's a discount for students who commit to a block of lessons.
The placement test is free, and after you take it I'll send back a personalised plan and we'll have a quick (free) chat to see if we're a good fit. There's no pressure to commit until you're sure.
Life happens. As long as you give me 24 hours' notice, we can reschedule with no charge. For cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice, a fee equivalent to 30 minutes of class time is charged.
