Learn Italian culture and language by a native

From 31 C$ /h

Student in European Studies offers private lessons in Italian, his native language.

I studied in France for a year where I graduated from SciencesPo, my passion for teaching Italian started from this experience in France. Many people had Italian grapes, but speaking and writing was complicated for them. So I said: why not teach my mother tongue in French? I followed different students during the last year and they were all satisfied both academically and personally.

My teaching method depends primarily on the level of the student
If it is for beginners, I start with the study of grammar and basic rules, once reached a level of discreet understanding, I prefer to approach the language in a less academic and more fun way: games, video , movies comment on it.
At the intermediate level, I offer a more active teaching: speaking is fundamental in order to understand the grammatical gaps of the student. During the first hour, I prefer to speak while watching videos and commenting on images. During the second hour, depending on the difficulties I noticed, I will deepen the grammar.

I am a teacher and tutor of Italian Language for Foreigners with a Master's degree in teaching Italian as a language for foreigners from the Ca' Foscari University of Venezia and the DITALS certification (Certificate of aptitude in didactics of Italian to foreigners) of the University for Foreigners of Siena (Italy).
The course and my method of teaching the language are based on a communicative approach: the student will learn the language gradually by using it and communicating in a real language and not abstract. To achieve this goal, many activities will be offered using authentic teaching materials such as newspaper articles, pages from novels, movie scenes, song lyrics and many more.

Hi! My name is Francesco and I’ve been living in Belgium since 2018. I come from a small town in Liguria, in northern Italy, and I am currently finishing a PhD in philosophy. For several years now, I’ve been giving private lessons to people who want to learn Italian for professional reasons or simply for pleasure. I have also taught two courses at an evening school in Flanders: a traditional course focused on grammar and vocabulary, and a conversation course for more advanced students. Depending on your level, we can organize the lessons as a conversation course, to develop your speaking and listening skills, and when necessary, we can focus more specifically on grammar and sentence structure. Alternatively, we can give more space to grammar and then move toward conversation once you have a more solid foundation. It all depends on your needs and your way of working! We will decide together on the best way to move forward. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re interested. A presto!

Learning a new language can feel overwhelming and difficult. I can help you achieve your goals and teach you English, Italian or French from scratch. If you already know the language but you need to improve your skills, I can tailor-make a program that would suit you best.

Is it easier to learn Italian or French? Italian or Portuguese? Italian or Swedish? Who knows! After starting to study my fifth language, I would love to have an answer... perhaps we will discover it together, by discussing in Italian, whether you are a beginner or at a more advanced level.

I would be delighted to organize learning sessions tailored to your objectives, if you have any, and your favorite subjects. I am passionate about urban planning, adventure books, theater, and olive oil, but I am also very curious and ready to prepare on your favorite topics.

I love beautiful grammar, but when learning a new language, my mantra is: "Language is a means of communication."

...and like true Italians, we will also learn to talk with our hands!

Studying a language is not just about memorizing lists of verbs, it is above all about being able to express oneself with confidence.
My approach is simple: clarity and practical application are my priorities. Whether it's for French (FLE), Spanish, or Italian, we'll work on what truly matters to you.
Zero blockage: We practice speaking from the beginning so that speaking becomes natural.
Current content: We use a variety of media (videos, articles, podcasts) to understand the language as it is spoken today.
School effectiveness: For students, we go straight to the essential points to unlock understanding.

My approach for our first meeting:
The first session is dedicated to your goals and interests. I like to build my lessons around your passions: this allows us to work on specific vocabulary and conversation topics that truly motivate you. A lesson tailored to you is a lesson where progress is faster.

When do we start?

I offer personalised Italian lessons for students, adults and anyone who wants to learn or improve Italian in a practical, engaging and motivating way. I have 8 years of experience as a tutor, and what I enjoy most about teaching is seeing my students improve, gain confidence and gradually acquire new skills.

As a native Italian speaker with a strong academic background in languages, culture and communication, I create a tailored learning programme for each student, based on their level, needs, goals and personal interests. Every student learns differently, so I adapt my method to make the lessons useful, clear and never boring or passive.

My lessons can focus on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, writing, reading comprehension, school support or exam preparation. I also teach Italian to people who want to learn it for travel, work, personal interest or cultural reasons.

For beginners, we can start from the basics: pronunciation, everyday phrases, simple grammar and useful vocabulary. For intermediate and advanced students, we can work on fluency, more complex grammar, listening comprehension, written expression and natural conversation.

I like to include real-life examples, dialogues, cultural references and personalised exercises, so that students can immediately apply what they learn. My goal is not only to teach Italian rules, but to help students actually use the language with confidence and pleasure.

Lessons can be held in English, French or Italian, depending on the student’s level and preference.

Through my courses, students will acquire a solid command of the Italian language, improving their grammar, written expression, comprehension, and text analysis skills. The courses are suitable for both beginners and students wishing to deepen their knowledge or prepare for exams.
I also offer support in philosophy, helping students understand key authors, schools of thought, and fundamental concepts through clear explanations tailored to their level.
To facilitate learning, I prepare personalized course materials, summary sheets, diagrams, concept maps, and various other worksheets. These tools allow students to effectively organize their revision, better understand the concepts studied, and develop an independent and rigorous study method. Each lesson is tailored to the student's needs and objectives to promote their progress and success.

The strategic importance of conversation classes. Integrating oral practice is essential to stand out from traditional academic methods and attract an adult and professional audience.
Developing fluency: Learners overcome the mental block of translating words into words. They learn to express themselves spontaneously and naturally. Building self-confidence: A supportive environment helps overcome the fear of making mistakes. Oral fluency takes precedence over strict grammatical accuracy.
Authentic language acquisition: Discussions expose students to idiomatic expressions, verb phrases, and logical connectors essential for everyday use. Fostering social connection: The relaxed atmosphere promotes a sense of community within your school. Students help each other and share their cultural experiences.
