- My name is Giulia Pulizzotto and I am a private teacher of German and Italian in Munich.
- I have been surrounded by many languages since birth, so I know firsthand how challenging — and rewarding — learning a new language can be. I also understand how essential language is for feeling at home in a new place. That is why I earned a degree in linguistics and became a language teacher.
- I hold a degree in Linguistics from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) — one of Germany's top-ranked universities — with a dissertation on an Italian dialect.
- With 19 years of teaching experience (since 2007), I have helped hundreds of students achieve their language goals. I started teaching at language schools in Munich, and in 2012 I founded my own private teaching practice, Studio NaVivo, where I have full control over my teaching method.
- Besides German — my mother tongue — and Italian — my second language — I also speak English, French, and Polish. This multilingual background allows me to explain grammar and concepts in my students' native language when needed.
- Student success stories:
- Over the years, I have guided many students through TestDaF preparation. One student arrived feeling unsure about the writing section — after focused practice and mock exams, she passed with strong scores across all four areas on her first try.
- For Goethe-Zertifikat (B1–C1), students who commit to a full preparation course with me consistently earn their certificates — from busy professionals balancing work and study to university applicants who need the credential for their next step.
- telc and DSH candidates regularly meet or exceed the university admission thresholds. I remember one student who was particularly nervous about the oral exam; after simulating real exam scenarios in our lessons, she not only passed but scored well above the requirement.
- Overall, my students make steady and genuine progress through the CEFR levels with regular lessons.
- My private lessons are very dynamic, built on real dialogue between teacher and student. I tailor every session to the learner's specific needs, goals, and learning style rather than following a rigid curriculum.
- For students learning German or Italian as a second language, my bilingual ability (German + Italian) is a major advantage: I can explain everything clearly in your native language during the early stages, which accelerates comprehension and builds confidence.
- Whether you have moved to Munich for work, want to dedicate vacation time to learning, or are planning a trip to Italy, contact me for private lessons (Privatkurs) or paired lessons (Paarkurs).
