Hi there! My name is Altea. I’m a qualified and experienced teacher with over eight years of experience teaching students of all ages, levels, and backgrounds. 
I’m a native Italian speaker, and I lived in the UK for eight years, where I taught Italian in individual, group, and online lessons. I have supported students preparing for A-Level Italian, professionals working with the Italian market, and people planning to travel or move to Italy. I teach Italian (and English) using the Direct Communicative Method. This means we focus on speaking and understanding Italian in real, everyday situations. From the very beginning, you will learn Italian by actively using it. Our lessons will take place almost entirely in Italian. If you’re a beginner, we can use a little English at first, but the goal is to build your confidence so you can speak naturally and comfortably. We will also work on grammar, pronunciation, reading, listening, and writing, according to your needs. I have experience teaching all ages and levels: from primary school children to professionals, in companies, language centres, and public schools. I’m also very comfortable teaching online, and I use shared drives, digital materials, and interactive tools to make the lessons clear, organised, and enjoyable. I provide all useful digital resources, but you’re welcome to use a physical textbook if you prefer. If you’re passionate about travelling to Italy, planning to relocate, working with Italian clients, or simply fascinated by the language, I can help you learn and enjoy Italian!

Hello! My name's Valeria, I'm Italian and I hold an Arts, Culture and Media BA degree, which I've earned at the University of Groningen (Netherlands). Recently I've also completed the the Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) (TEFL Academy), thereby becoming officially qualified to professionally teach English both in an in-person and online format. My private English classes will not only cover grammar rules and vocabulary items, but they'll also be largely centred around engaging in lighthearted conversations about everyday topics. Indeed, I think it's crucial to foster in learners the confidence necessary to navigate day-to-day interactions in the outside world. As already mentioned, I'm an Italian native speaker: I've been raised in Verona (North-Eastern Italy) and I've also completed my school path there. Similarly to my English classes, my Italian private lessons will cover grammar and vocabulary items, while also largely focusing around simple conversations about everyday topics (e.g., small talk, greeting, introducing oneself, etcetera). I guarantee that I'll make each and every class as fun and insightful as possible! 😁😁 I'm looking forward to working with you!

Hello, my name is Alessandra. I am Italian native speaker,with a really good level of Spanish (that I speak every day) and I specialized in Chinese, English and Spanish at the university. I have lived and worked in UK, China and now The Netherlands. In every state I gave foreign language classes to locals and my aim is to become professional language instructor. At the moment I am a translator of fantasy novels. We can decide together which kind of class you prefer. I normally work on grammar rules and conversation, error analysis and vocabulary building, using interesting material about Italian/Spanish/Chinese culture.

Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Hi, I'm Paola and I'm a graduate in Italian Literature and I also have a master's degree in Teaching Italian to Foreigners. During my time at university, I gave private lessons to Erasmus students in Italy. That experience further strengthened my interest in teaching. For many years, I have been giving individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online to students of various levels. Whether you want to learn or improve your Italian, I am happy to help you. I use a book that I integrate with different materials. Conversation is very important, but so is listening and understanding a text. The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information. A presto!

I offer online Italian courses for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, i.e., C2. I always have quality reference books to recommend to students. My classes are highly personalized and tailored to the specific needs of each student. I guarantee quality because I put a lot of passion and care into everything I do, trying not to overlook the details. 🚀 During the lessons, I will help you learn the basics of general Italian, paying attention to pronunciation and intonation while reading. I am always attentive to the needs of the students and ready to tailor my lessons. My lessons are an investment for the present and the future because they are prepared with passion, a lot of experience, and dedication 🧡. 🌟 If you are a beginner, don't worry because I take great care to make you feel comfortable. ➡️ I work on different levels: conversation on different topics, grammar, reading, writing, dictation and games (role-playing games in which the student can test himself by communicating in a natural and practical way with the teacher, as in real life). In addition, preparation for official language certificates (CELI, CILS, PLIDA), the Swiss maturity exam, apprenticeship as a commercial employee CFC and tailor-made courses in a certain professional field. ➡️ All levels: A1-C2

If you answer yes to one or more of these questions: ○ Do you want to learn the basics of Italian, one of the most beautiful languages in the world? ○ Would you like to converse in Italian with a native speaker, improve your oral communication and pronunciation, and learn new commonly used expressions? ○ Are you fascinated by the culture, art, gastronomy or even the history of Italy? ○ Or do you mainly need to revise Italian grammar, improve your written communication or practice conjugation? So good news, look no further: you've come to the right place! Dante's language will no longer hold any secrets for you thanks to clear, dynamic and entertaining lessons, adapted to your pace and your personal needs. - Small games will also be organized: don't they say that it's by having fun that we learn best? - In addition, classes will be taught primarily in Italian from day one. For me, immersion is the most direct method of learning. However, I will use French, English, or German to clarify any doubts, especially for beginners. - Having learned many languages myself, I understand the challenges you face and can share with you the techniques that helped me overcome them. - At the end of each course, you will receive a personalized document containing all my notes and observations to facilitate revision and your learning. If you are motivated, I can: - plan homework to help you progress more quickly. - share authentic material with you in the form of articles, videos, films or podcasts to present and comment on with me during the course. An expert in Italian culture and literature thanks to my university studies and multilingualism, I offer courses that will help you progress quickly thanks to an effective method. My classes are structured to allow you to practice conversation (practice Italian through everyday situations), work on grammar in a targeted manner and enrich your vocabulary through the analysis of written or oral documents together. No, you don't see the unexpected news, here you go! I look forward to meeting you, see you soon!
