👤 Meet Your Instructor: Katayoun

Learning a language is a marathon, not a sprint—but you don’t have to run it alone.

Ciao! I’m Katayoun. I don't believe in hacks or shortcuts that leave you confused when a native speaker actually replies to you. Instead, I believe in consistent, high-quality practice and building a foundation that lasts.

My goal is to give you the independence to navigate Italy on your own terms, whether that’s ordering a coffee in a busy Roman piazza, discussing a project with Italian colleagues, or connecting with your heritage.

In my classroom, you get:


A Supportive Environment: Mistakes are the fastest way to learn. I provide a space where you can speak freely without judgment.

Measurable Progress: We track your wins every week so you can see exactly how far you've come.

Real-World Context: We focus on the Italian people actually speak in 2026, not just what's in a 20-year-old textbook.

I am here to be your guide, your coach, and your conversation partner. Let’s build your Italian skills the right way.
