Speak Italian like Italians! Learn with a mother tongue, lessons based on communicative approach.

From 81 C$ /h

Ciao! My name is Marika and I am Italian mother language. Learning a foreign language can be extremely difficult. The simplest way is to put into practice what you learn daily, and to do this you need a Tutor to talk to. A friendly and patient person who has already faced the difficulties of learning a new language.
That's why my lessons are based on conversation.
I believe the best way to learn is through speaking without fear - I'll take notes while you speaking and share with you some tools that help you to learn efficiently. "Provando si sbaglia, sbagliando s'impara"! (lear from failure!)

WHY CHOOSE ME:
I will get to know you and find out what your learning style is, so that our lessons are always tailored to you!
My approach is based on conversation. I will shape a method that stimulates conversation and interactivity with a touch of fun. You will improve your pronunciation and memorize many words.

I use games, fantasy situations, and dialogues that stimulate discussion between us. I will also use videos, audio, and articles to improve your speaking, listening, and pronunciation skills.

If you have never studied Italian, I will improve your language skills by guiding you step by step. We will start with phonetics, vocabulary and then with simple presentation dialogues. In a short time, you will find that you begin to understand and speak Italian.

If you have a specific purpose or interest, tell me! We will form a program together and maybe I will learn something from you.

See you soon!

Extra information

Bring a pen and paper. At the end of the lesson, I will give you a little homework.

About Me

Ciao! I'm Marika, an Italian teacher, museum assistant, and tour guide living in London.

I was born in Treviso, a city located in North-East of Italy and famous for the prosecco. I have a BA in Painting and Art History. After graduation, I traveled a lot and faced the challenge of learning a second language - just like you.

My work allows me to use both my mother tongue - Italian - and English to communicate efficiently with visitors in the museum. This increased my passion for languages and led me to teach my language to others, first through language exchange and then by teaching privately in London.

If I am not in the museum or teaching Italian you can find me in the park doing yoga.

Education

The University of Padua, Italy, Master's Degree in History of Art, years 2012-2014

Experience / Qualifications

I am a tutor of Italian and English as a foreign/second language. I had the opportunity to teach in different contexts with multicultural groups of students from many countries and backgrounds. I am currently teaching Italian to individual students and corporate clients with different language requirements and purposes. I have also conducted a preparation course for Italian GCSE and A level exams in London.

I teach to all levels and ages using a communicative and student-centred approach. My lessons are very interactive and focused on real life and cultural situations.
I care about my students’ learning progress and achievements and I am keen to guide them in a friendly, dedicated and respectful manner. Moreover, one of my main goals as a teacher is to enable my students to enjoy the experience of communicating, thinking and reacting in a foreign language.

If you want to learn Italian, my class is really going to help you.
Italian is my mother tongue and I will help you to learn it in a funny way and with some great activities that aren’t going to make you feel like you have known Italian for you entire life

I am a native Italian speaker who has experience in Italian tutoring and translation of Italian documents. Additionally, I have earned my psychology and Italian degree with honors from Loyola University of Chicago.

This class aims to make individuals practice their italian, since most students complain about not having the opportunity to practice speaking the language. My idea would be to provide conversation-like speaking and also learn some new vocabulary in order to enrich the individual's knowledge of the language. Suggest italian movies, italian music or anything that might interest the student in order to make learning fun!

This is a class for intermediate Italian speakers looking to improve their spoken Italian and grammar. My focus is both on conversational fluency and grammar points, explaining why the grammar is the way that it is. My goal is for these lessons to be fun and entertaining, and we will decide together the topic of conversation for that lesson so that is something that interests you and that you want to talk about!

Queste lezioni d'italiano intermedio sono per quelli studenti d'italiano che desiderino migliorare l'italiano parlato e la loro comprensione della grammatica. Il foco di queste lezioni sono sia la fluidità conversazionale che i punti di grammatica. L'obiettivo di queste lezioni è insegnare la lingua parlata di maniera divertente e interessante, per cui decideremo insieme il tema di conversazione della lezione perché vi interessi e ne vogliate parlare!

Salve!

Fancy a fluent conversation in Italian during a round of "al fresco" drinks? How about finding out that "al fresco" is actually Italian idioma for going to prison?
I'm an Italian PhD'er in Philosophy and Literature, experienced in language study, exchange and tuition... and I'm cheap!!

Up for basic conversations and quick grammar lessons, but I'll be very happy with you picking up a topic to be discussed!

Drop me a text for a nice pilot "chiacchierata" (chat!)!

Whether you have been learning Italian for some time or have begun out of boredom during lockdown, chances are you may want to test your skills and get better at conversation.

I'm a PhD student at UCL and I have lived in London for the past seven years. As I have no formal training in teaching languages this would not be an Italian class, but simply an informal, relaxed way to improve your conversation.

We can meet in person (Hackney) or over Zoom/Skype/Whatsapp (we are all familiar with all of those by now!) and have a chat. I will help you with vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar, with any homework you may have to do or correct stuff you have written. It is all very flexible and lead by your needs, desires and curiosity.

Umberto

PS: Yes, I can also train you in the various Italian gestures so that you'll be a pro next time you visit Italy =)

Are you studying Italian but want to expand your vocabulary and conversation skills? Talking to a native Italian speaker is the best way to improve your language skills! I'm 24 and was born in Italy (Siena, Tuscany, to be more specific) and move to London three years ago. I'm a performer and dance teacher, but over the years I have also worked as a teaching assistant in primary schools, so I have experience working with children as well as adults.
I graduated high school in Italy with the highest marks 100/100, specialising in classical studies especially Italian language and literature.
I'm willing to help students or Italian learners of every level to improve their skills and level of confidence and even help in preparation for tests or examinations.
