Hello everyone! I'm an Italian expat studying international relations at Leiden University. Back in Italy I used to give English classes to students in need, and I also worked for a while for an association where I taught Italian to African immigrants. Here in Leiden I would like to teach Italian to people who don't only want to improve their grammar skills, but also their conversation skills.

I am an Italian international law graduate based in Leiden. I have a DILIT diploma to teach Italian to foreigners, meaning that I prefer to use a non-academic approach to teach the Italian language. I have over 5 years experience in teaching and tutoring. I usually teach my classes in Italian, but I can also speak English and Spanish. We will discuss the goals to achieve during the course, based on your wishes and interests, and we will decide together what kind of methodology is the best suited for you!

As I am finishing my Bachelor in Comparative Philosophy at Leiden University, I am more than happy to help high school students and adults who show interest in engaging in critical thinking, whether it is for exams, tests or as personal challenge. Furthermore, I am proficient in English, French and German for students and adults interested in learning a new language or preparing for language tests.

I can help the student in improving their italian (not only in speaking, writing and listening, but also understanding better the italian culture and use it for a better knowledge of Italy). I studied latin for 5 years, so I can help with grammar or translation from Latin to Italian or Latin to English.
I have a bachelor degree in Psychology: I know how to approach with children and with the student fear!!

Bonjour, enchanté ! I am a French native speaker and I would be extremely happy to help people learn it. Since I do not speak Dutch, the only thing you need is English (or French)!

If you have a beginner or intermediate level, this class is for you! During the class, we will go through your difficulties with French grammar, vocabulary, writing, reading, spelling, or pronunciation. The class can also be a simple conversation for you to keep practicing. For each class, I can prepare a certain amount of exercises - depending on the student's needs and the workload. These exercises will be corrected together and some more exercises can come out to master some rules.

Ideally, because of the COVID-19 situation, lessons would be online. However, if it is really necessary face-to-face meetings could be feasible!

Many are already aware of the uniqueness of Italy — its rich history, beautiful architecture, and delicious food make it one of the world’s most sought-after tourist destinations. But perhaps even more intriguing is the Italian language itself.
Italian is the 5th most studied language in the US, the official language of classical music, with more than 85 million speakers globally. Based on your requirements, in this class you will learn how to speak the language fluently as a local, combined with a detailed and practical focus on the grammar and the lexicon.

What could be better than learning Italian from a native speaker?
I am an Italian living in Leiden since 2014. I have a strong background in Italian grammar and enjoy discussing a wide range of topics. I can help you prepare for language certifications, as well as improve your pronunciation and your written and spoken Italian.

Private tutoring classes for young children, teenagers, adults and seniors who would like to:
> Learn Italian, French and/or English from scratch
> Do homework with the support of a tutor
> Improve and perfect their language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading)
> Prepare for language certifications such as PET, FIRST, TOEFL, DELF, admission exams...
> Practice their skills in fun conversations and/or for special occasions

About Francesca: I graduated as a translator and interpreter from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and I lived in different countries where I perfected my accent and pronunciation and I also learnt about the local culture (specifically Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, UK, the US).
I love foreign languages and cultures and my goal is to pass this enthusiasm on to my students as they also learn "boring" grammar rules. For me it's all about helping you find a method of language learning that makes it easy for you to remember new words and correct grammar.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks to my thirty years of teaching experience, I can offer you tailor-made lessons and teaching materials that perfectly match your needs, your level and, above all, your interests.
I am specialized in teaching Dutch, English and Spanish speakers.

Latin is fascinating and, despite its reputation of being a dead language, it can still be useful today. However, being unique, it is not always easy to understand its grammar and syntax and translating from Latin can be hard. Having studied it since when I was thirteen and with two cum-laude degrees in Classics, I know Latin deeply. Moreover, I have experience in giving classes to high school students, therefore I am aware of its difficulties and I know how to tackle possible hurdles in the most appropriate way for each student.
Apart from Latin, I am an Italian native speaker, trained in Italian language and culture. If you want to strengthen or practice your Italian, I am the right person!

Feel free to contact me if you need help in learning/practicing these two beautiful languages!

I'm a polyglot & passionate teacher of foreign languages with teaching certificates in all 5 languages and more than 14 years of experience in the classroom and online.

I have lived in several countries (Spain, UK, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands) and I have taught language classes to students of all ages in groups and individually.

I offer classes in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Catalan. Also German and Swedish for beginners.

I'm a pharmacist with many years of experience in teaching languages, and sciences amongst other subjects.
I offer a personalized approach to each individual and adapt to their objectives with a realistic and results-driven method to satisfy your needs.

Don't hesitate to contact me for any queries

Want to learn Italian but find private lessons too intense or expensive? Then this course in a small, regular group is perfect for you. You'll learn alongside others in a calm and structured way, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions.

The group consists of a maximum of 5 participants. This means it's personal enough to make real progress, but also enjoyable and motivating.

What to expect
Fixed curriculum with clear objectives
Lessons on fixed days and times
Quiet pace, everything clearly explained
Much attention to speaking and understanding
Given by a linguist (Leiden) with 9 years of experience

Send me a message with your level and your goal and I'll create a simple plan that suits you.

The course aims to enable learners to achieve a high level of mastery in French, encompassing both written and oral communication. The primary objectives include improving pronunciation, comprehension, language construction, communication skills, conversational abilities, conjugation, grammar, vocabulary, and gaining cultural insights into various Francophone countries.

Methodology:

The proposed methodology has been meticulously designed to assist learners in attaining their specific language objectives. The approach incorporates the following key features:

 Customized sessions: Tailored to accommodate individual learning paces, these sessions encompass both oral and written components.

 Emphasis on practical language skills: The course prioritizes the development of practical language skills necessary for real-life situations.

 Integration of interactive, real-life situations: Through engaging private sessions, learners are immersed in interactive scenarios that enhance their listening comprehension and vocabulary development.

 Varied oral and written exercises: Stimulating oral and written exercises are provided at an appropriate pace, encouraging active participation and practice.

 Personalized instruction: Each learner benefits from instruction that is specifically tailored to their needs, effectively addressing their unique requirements and daily commitments. The overarching goal is to enhance proficiency in all four language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

 Additionally, supplementary services such as French-English interpreting, exam preparation, report/thesis reading, and document writing assistance can be offered based on individual requirements.

Results:

Statistical analysis reveals that learners can expect significant progress in French proficiency within just a few private lessons, typically by the second or third session.

Conclusion:

This course aims to facilitate the acquisition and improvement of French proficiency in written and oral communication, as well as foster cultural understanding. Through a tailored approach that aligns with learners' specific needs and requirements, their language acquisition journey is optimized. By employing a contemporary and dynamic teaching methodology, which incorporates interactive components and emphasizes conversational skills, learners can maximize their return on investment and experience noticeable progress within a short timeframe.
