Learn Italian from a native speaker: grammar, oral and written skills!

From 38.32 C$ /h

Hello, I'm Verdiana and I'm a Master student at KU Leuven.
I tutor students and offer private lessons since I was 16, thus I've gained quite some experience on the topic.
My main focus is on foreign language because I've studied them for 5 years. Here in Leuven though, I would like to teach Italian, my native language.
During a one-hour-class, you'll get the chance to explore the (difficult but fascinating) Italian grammar, to practice both your oral and written skills and to learn some useful Italian phrases.

Don't hesitate to contact me in case of any question!

Hello everyone! I hold a doctorate in Italian, have been teaching Italian for 5 years and hold a CELTA teaching qualification. I've been preparing students for the A-Levels and GCSE (language + literature). I can prepare you for specific examinations, language lessons in general or teach you Italian for business. The lessons are for everyone, whatever their age or level (children to adults). I will make sure that you discover the Italian culture through the lessons, learn the correct pronunciation and of course learn some grammar. I am open to your needs and can speak a few languages to make sure you understand fully the lessons (of course, we’ll try to use mostly Italian in all our lessons depending on your level).

I can’t wait to meet my new students! 😊

I am a 22-year-old Italian girl, now a full-time sociology student in Leuven.
I attended all my years of education in Italy and have an excellent knowledge of language and grammar.
I have experience in teaching foreign children and young people. Normally I try to focus on conversation and text comprehension, so as to learn grammar in a lighter and more fun way, but if necessary I can prepare targeted programmes related to grammar or specific knowledge.

Want to learn the language "del bel paese là dove 'l sì suona?" (Dante, La Divina Commedia, Inferno, canto XXXIII)? Crave to go deeper into the world of Boccaccio, Machiavelli, Ariosto, D'Annunzio and many others? Long to be guided into the knowledge of the sweet sounding culture, society and lifestyle of La Dolce Vita?
Then I am the man!
I am a cum-laude, international Master graduate with a Bachelor in literature from the University of Bologna, the most prestigious in Italy and one of the most ancient in the whole world. Plus, I possess the official diploma for teaching at Italian high schools. Ergo, I am ready to plan how with you to become "un Italiano vero", either through grammar study, literature explorations, informal conversations or a good mix of them all!
I am well equipped to gradually introduce you, step by step, to an all-Italian learning experience, through English, French and some words of Dutch too. Absolute beginners, intermediate ad advanced Italy lovers, feel free to get in touch!
Ciao!

Hello, I'm Gemma, I'm 26 and I live in Leuven, Belgium. I am originally from Tuscany, Italy.
I'm used to tutoring, usually students, in foreign languages and humanistic subjects.

It would be a pleasure for me to teach you Italian in a way that's tailored to your needs. We can start with a format and change it on the go, depending on what suits you best and the specific areas you want to improve.

The class will be structured around: grammar, real-life conversations, listening to videos/music, cultural insights, and practical exercises.
I know grammar can be very boring, but we'll make it as fun and interactive as possible.

I’ll help you build a strong foundation or refine your advanced skills.

I hope I'll get to work with you!

Language and culture are essential to connecting with others, and as someone who loves both, I’m excited to share my passion for teaching. In addition to being an artist, I’ve developed a strong interest in languages, which is why I’ve decided to take this passion further by teaching my native language, Spanish.

In my classes, I offer a personalized and engaging approach to help you learn Spanish effectively. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to improve your skills, I teach from levels A0 to B2, focusing on grammar, vocabulary, and everyday expressions to help you communicate confidently with native speakers.

My goal is to ensure that each student learns at their own pace while encouraging you to speak from the very first lesson. I provide all necessary materials, including books, exercises, and audio resources.

The lessons can be taught in either English or Spanish, depending on your preference.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I’m looking forward to meeting you and helping you discover the beauty of the Spanish language.

Online lessons is available too.

If you live in Flanders, you'll have to know Dutch.
That's why I am willing to help you.

I'm only 20 years old but I speak and I know Dutch very well because I studied economics and languages.

In my class we will have fun but also tests like every school.

I want to help you and see you improve in Dutch!

- Do you want to learn how to pronounce words correctly and use them in sentences?
- Do you want to learn how to spell words correctly and write them in sentences?
- Do you want to be able to read and understand French and/or Dutch?
If your answer is 'yes' to one of those questions, you are in the right place.

At work, at home, at parties, and everywhere else, good communication is indispensable to be able to understand each other. A language is meant to be spoken and understood. The best way to understand a language is being exposed to it, whether through books, movies, songs or social media. In my classes, only motivation is required. During the first class, we explore your needs and what I can offer you. Outside and during my classes, you are your own teacher. The higher you expose yourself to the language, the quicker you'll master it. I am your coach who will guide you through it and give you some tools along with tips and tricks to master the basics. I am willing to help you as long as you need. If you want my help one hour for French and one hour for Dutch per week, or only 30 minutes/week for Dutch, that is up to you! Additionally, I offer group sessions of maximum 4 persons per session. It is your responsability to look for your classmates if that is something you are up to.

Learning Spanish with me means stepping into a supportive and motivating environment. Each class is tailored to your level and goals, whether you’re a beginner building a foundation or an advanced learner polishing your fluency.

I teach both younger students and adults, always adapting the lessons to each age group and learning style. With children, I use games, visuals, and dynamic activities to keep them engaged; with adults, I focus on real-life situations, conversation practice, and cultural insights.

As a native Spanish and Catalan speaker with a background in Translation and Interpreting, I bring both linguistic knowledge and a love for teaching. My lessons combine practical grammar, conversation practice, and cultural insights, so you can truly connect with the language beyond the classroom.

We’ll use interactive exercises and topics that matter to you, so learning feels natural and enjoyable. My goal is simple: to help you communicate confidently in Spanish and feel inspired along the way!
