About Me

Hey there, I'm Roberta, an environmentalist from Sardinia.

I moved to Amsterdam six years ago, and I'm on the lookout for exciting new opportunities. My academic background is in International Relations and Diplomatic Affairs, and my journey has taken me through various countries – France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, and now, the Netherlands.

I'm here to offer Italian courses tailored to your needs – whether you're looking to sharpen your grammar, spelling, and pronunciation or gearing up for language exams. For those already fluent, we can dive into news readings and discussions on selected topics to enhance comprehension and fluency.

Learning a language is like opening a new window to the world. Join me, and let's explore Italian culture, music, and folklore, and of course, have some delicious food together! :)

Feel free to reach out. Can't wait to see you soon!

English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills.

Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid.

In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals.

Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Hola everyone!
I have always been passionate about arts, culture, people, and traveling, and through my communicative experiences interacting with different people in different languages around the world, I have understood the essential needs when it comes to language acquisition. That is why my method is a compilation of the traditional usage of books, texts, audios, and short films, combined with PowerPoint presentations full of images, interactive games, and recreation of real-life situations in which the students will naturally learn complex grammar topics while having fun. I also create a particular relationship with each student to detect the type of learner the student is and tailor the class according to his/her personality, needs, and expectations. The class can be taught in English or Dutch but I am always aiming to expose the student to Spanish as much as possible so he/she can experience faster progress.

I am a native Spanish speaker with a bachelor's degree in Social Communication from Pontificia Javeriana University in Bogota-Colombia, ELE Spanish Teacher certified by Lola Martínez Cabrera Senior Professor from “Molinos de Viento” in Amsterdam and hold a postgraduate degree as ELE Spanish teacher from Barcelona University and International House. I have been giving private Spanish classes to adults for the last five years. For the last 10 years, I have been dealing with Spanish, English, Dutch, and German on a daily basis.

I was born in Italy, but for the last two years of my life I have traveled the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East, traveling and working remotely.

I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!
That's because I love learning new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.
My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language.
My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning.

Knowledge of Italian is useful in and of itself; but it is also essential for the study of other fields like history, literature, music, art, business, economics, and political science. So, whether you want to learn how to order your own "gelato" in Rome, improve your knowledge of Italian grammar, or broaden your horizons through study and analysis of literature, by exposing yourself to a different culture, this is the course for you!

In class, we will speak Italian as much as possible to help you develop your speaking skills – obviously paying attention to correct grammar and vocabulary. I will speak Italian as much as possible – even from the very beginning – and encourage you to do the same.
Every class is targeted to the student's goals, which are discussed with me during our first introductory lesson.
Students can bring their own material, in case they need help preparing for a test or exam; alternatively I will provide learning material (digital or hard copy) based on the student's needs.

I have several years of experience in the field of research, specifically in biomolecular biology. I am deeply passionate about science and I enjoy transmitting this knowledge to younger students who are curious to get more insight or better understand the mechanisms of life.

In my lesson, I can help you to understand the most basic biological mechanism that regulates the cell cycle and provide more in-depth information regarding cancer and immunology, my field of specialization. My aim is not only to make biology easy but provide also support for writing a thesis, preparing a presentation, understanding how to properly structure a project, and acquiring the ability to interpret and discuss big data.

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!
