Depending on your proficiency level and goals, we will decide together the kind of class that works best for you. Whether you would like to focus on conversation, or you'd rather have some help learn with a language book, I am here to guide your learning process. I have experience with both structured as well as spontaneous students, so don't be afraid to express how you like to learn. I'll do my best to support you in a way that makes sense to 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.

I am a native Italian speaker and I know the struggles of this beautiful language. I aim at providing solid grammar fundamentals to beginners in order to prepare them for both informal conversations and basic writing. Some interesting insights about culture and language will be provided in the attempt to consolidate learning.
Shy speakers and beginners won’t fear this language anymore, intermediate and advanced can request focused lectures for improving writing, speaking or vocabulary.
Vi aspetto!

Ciao!

I am Michela and I come from Rome. I am a professional and qualified language teacher for secondary schools. I have been teaching languages since 2011 to all levels and backgrounds. I funded my own company for Language services' in 2018 in London and in 2021 in Utrecht (Giardino Italiano).

I will be happy to help you either learning from scratch or improving your skills! I am very good at differentiating tasks, and I always work tailoring my lesson on students' level and needs in order to help students to improve. Over the years I have gained experience in teaching students with all types of abilities. I have also experience in working with students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, AHDH, and autism.

I offer different types of courses (standard courses/ grammar through games/ conversation through topics/ conversation through games, music, films, cooking), using different tools and techniques, always trying to make my lessons fun, engaging, and well-structured. Since practice makes perfect, every lesson you will be given homework as independent learning is an extremely important part of the language learning process.

I am very passionate about learning languages and teaching them is just part of my inner-nature. I am a language learner like you, so I know all the struggles you might encounter in your learning journey. I have developed many techniques over the years to overcome difficulties so let me help you!
Moreover, I keep studying and researching psychology-pedagogy and teaching techniques in order to keep my skills up- to -date and to experiment with always new ways to help my students learning to the best of their abilities.

A presto!

Michela

Ben je net met het Italiaans begonnen? Of ben je al ervaren en wil je de taal beheersen? Of heb je een Italiaanse partner en wil je graag met hem/haar in het Italiaans kunnen praten? Of nog, heb je een officiele taaltentamen? Ik weet zeker dat ik de juiste leraar voor jou zal zijn.

ENGLISH:

Are you just starting with Italian and do you want to speed up the process? Are you already experienced and do you want to master the language even better? Or do you have an Italian partner and you would love to be able to speak with them in their language? Or do you perhaps have to pass an official language exam? I am sure I will be the right tutor for you.

PLEASE NOTE, THE BOOKING SCHEDULE IS NOT ADJUSTED. WE SHALL ORGANIZE THE TIME OF THE LESSONS TOGETHER VIA MESSAGES.

You want to be exposed to Italian and learn how to understand and answer to an Italian native speaker? Give yourself the chance to learn Italian with a tailored schedule for fast learning and usage of it!

You will be guided in all the needed aspects of the language, from grammar to sounds, from typical sentence structure to useful tips in Italian culture which can come in handy during a typical conversation.

I've already given Italian lessons back in Italy for foreign people with amazing results and I'm ready to repeat this experience here in Utrecht too :D
Lessons can be provided both in English and/or French

After having lived for years in Italy (Tuscany) and in London for study and work, we are now back in the Netherlands. I have a teaching degree from the University of London and I have more than 10 years of teaching language lessons; all ages and all levels. Whether you want to improve your English reading skills; vacation Italian wants to learn if you want to expand your vocabulary and listening skills; everything is possible. I always fully adapt to the wishes and level of my student. Some learn better with a book; others prefer to do a lot of conversation. Still others like to learn about the culture and customs of a country. With my background in opera singing, I have a broad knowledge of both the language and culture of Italy and I enjoy sharing this knowledge!
The lessons can take place via Skype, in the coffee cafe in Vathorst or possibly at your home if you live in the area.
Hope to see you soon!

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!

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!
