About Tanaya
Ciao! I'm Tanaya, and I'm passionate about the Italian language and culture.
I hold an A1.2 certification from Deccan College, Pune, and spent a year studying in Italy, where I got to experience the language, food, art, and the Italian way of life firsthand. Living there taught me not just the grammar and vocabulary, but how to actually communicate and connect with people in Italian.
I specialize in teaching complete beginners and elementary learners (A1-A1.2 level). I understand what it's like to start from zero - I've been there myself! Whether you're learning Italian for travel, work, personal interest, or just because you love Italian movies and music, I'm here to make the journey enjoyable and practical.
My teaching style is relaxed and conversational. I focus on helping you build confidence in speaking and understanding Italian in real-life situations, not just textbook exercises. I'm best suited for students who are just starting out or at basic conversational level.
Important: I focus exclusively on beginner and elementary Italian (A1-A1.2). If you're looking for advanced grammar, business Italian, intermediate conversation practice, or B1+ level instruction, I recommend finding a tutor who specializes in those areas. I want to make sure you get the right support for your level!

Learn Italian from scratch in a relaxed, conversational way!
This class is designed specifically for complete beginners and elementary learners (A1-A1.2 level).
My lessons focus on practical, everyday Italian - the kind you'll actually use when traveling, watching Italian films, or chatting with native speakers.
What we'll cover:
Conversational Italian from day one (starting with basic greetings and simple phrases)
Essential beginner grammar explained simply (present tense, basic sentence structure)
Real-life scenarios for beginners (ordering food, introducing yourself, asking for directions)
Italian culture and customs
Pronunciation and listening practice
Building confidence to speak, even if you know zero Italian right now
My teaching style:
I create a comfortable, encouraging environment where mistakes are welcome - that's how we learn! Lessons are tailored to your goals, whether you're planning a trip to Italy, starting from absolute zero, or want to learn basic conversational Italian.
What you'll need:
Just a notebook, internet connection, and willingness to try speaking. I provide all materials - no expensive textbooks required!
Perfect for:
Complete beginners (never studied Italian before)
Elementary learners wanting to strengthen A1-A1.2 basics
Travelers preparing for a trip to Italy
Anyone who loves Italian culture and wants to start learning
People who tried learning Italian before but want a fresh, encouraging start.
NOT suitable for:
Intermediate/advanced learners (B1+ level)
Business Italian or professional vocabulary
Advanced grammar or complex conversation
Learners looking to break through an intermediate plateau
If you're beyond beginner level, I recommend finding a tutor who specializes in intermediate to advanced Italian - you'll get better value and faster progress!
Trial lesson available! Let's see if my teaching style works for you - no pressure, no commitment.
