Learn Italian with an expert and passionate native speaker teacher!

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
My name is Cristina and I speak Italian as a native language. I was born and raised in Italy, where I graduated and worked as an Italian teacher for children and teenagers from 6 to 15 years old, both Italian and foreign. Four years ago I moved to the Netherlands. Here I started teaching Italian to anyone who wanted to learn my beautiful language, both in person and via webcam. I currently have students of all ages and with the most diverse objectives: those who want to go on holiday in peace, people who have recently moved and want to integrate, young people who study or want to work for Italian companies and bilingual children who want to improve their pronunciation.
I like to prepare my lessons with great care. During the trial lesson, I encourage my students to speak as much as possible to understand their level of knowledge of the language and what their goals and interests are. At this point I can organize a personal program.
I mainly focus on the conversation, regardless of the starting level of the student. Starting from a short dialogue, an article or a video, I draw inspiration to deepen vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. I use different types of material: texts, newspaper and magazine articles, original or simplified, games and interactive exercises, everything that can make the lesson exciting, fun and productive! And for those who want it, there is no shortage of homework, which you can do online or in textbooks, depending on your taste.
Since moving, I have also started studying Dutch and this has helped me enormously in understanding the difficulties that students, especially adults, can encounter when learning a foreign language. I was able to compare different methods and experiment on myself with different theories and techniques.
In addition to professionalism, I believe in passion for what I do, which is reflected in every moment of my lessons.

For teaching, I use slides that I prepare myself and send to the student, so that he can always look back at what we have studied. I will provide all the materials you need. Only those who want to receive information about purchasing books.

About Me

Mi chiamo Cristina e sono madrelingua italiana. Sono nata e cresciuta in Italia, dove mi sono laureata in Lettere e Filosofia Italiana. Ho lavorato come insegnante di italiano per bambini dai 6 ai 15 anni, italiani e stranieri. Nel 2019 mi sono trasferita nei Paesi Bassi. Qui insegno l'italiano a tutti coloro che amano imparare la mia bellissima lingua! Ho attualmente studenti di tutte età e con i più diversi obiettivi: turisti che vogliono partire tranquilli per le vacanze, persone che si sono recentemente trasferite e vogliono integrarsi, ragazzi che studiano all'università, appassionati, imprenditori o bambini bilingue che devono migliorare la pronuncia.
Adoro preparare le mie lezioni con grande cura. Durante la lezione di prova incoraggio i miei studenti a parlare il più possibile per capire qual è il loro livello di conoscenza della lingua, quali sono i loro obiettivi e gli interessi. Cerco di fornire materiale divertente, disersificato, interessante e stimolante.
Mi concentro soprattutto sulla conversazione, qualunque sia il livello di partenza dello studente. Partendo da un breve dialogo, un articolo o un video prendo spunto per approfondire il vocabolario, la grammatica e la pronuncia. Utilizzo varie tipologie di materiale: testi, articoli di giornali e riviste, originali o semplificati, giochi ed esercizi interattivi, tutto ciò che può rendere la lezione appasionante, divertente e produttiva! E per chi lo desidera non mancano i compiti per casa, da fare online o su libri di testo, a seconda dei gusti.
Da quando mi sono trasferita ho iniziato a studiare anch'io l'olandese e questo mi è stato di grande aiuto nel comprendere le difficoltà che gli studenti, soprattutto adulti, possono incontrare nello studio di una lingua straniera. Ho potuto confrontare vari metodi e sperimentare su me stesso diverse teorie e tecniche.
Oltre alla professionalità, credo nella passione per quello che faccio, che traspare in ogni momento delle mie lezioni.

Education

Ho prima conseguito il Diploma di Maturità presso il Liceo Classico San Bernardino da Siena di Udine (Italia). Quindi mi sono Laureata presso la Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia di Udine, con corso in Conservazione dei Beni Culturali.

Experience / Qualifications

Ho insegnato in Italia a bambini italiani e stranieri tra i 6 e i 15 anni.
Nei Paesi Bassi prima ho insegnato italiano come volontaria, dando lezioni ad un gruppo di adulti. Quindi ho iniziato a insegnare sia in persona che via webcam con diverse piattaforme. Attualmente seguo studenti di tutte le età, dai 6 anni in su.

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Emma
Italian lessons. Italian lessons online or in person.
- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living in Rome. I have 10 years teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests and availability of the student. - The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and put the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course and for each lesson I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.
