Italian language as a foreign language, all levels

From 58 C$ /h

My name is Alina, and I am from Romania. I discovered my passion for Italian back in high school, when I became so fascinated by the language and culture that I took part in the national Italian Language Olympiad and ranked among the top three students in Romania for two consecutive years.

I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Italian and English, followed by a Master’s degree and a PhD. During my studies, I also had the opportunity to live and study in Italy for two years, gaining not only a deeper understanding of the language, but also firsthand experience of Italian culture and everyday communication.

I have been teaching Italian as a foreign language for over 15 years, working with both children and adults, at all levels, in individual lessons as well as group courses, including professional training programs for companies.

What I consider my greatest asset as a teacher is that, unlike a native speaker who has acquired Italian naturally, I know what it means to learn the language as a foreigner. I understand the difficulties students face, the mistakes they are likely to make, and the connections that can make Italian easier to understand. My background in both Italian and English allows me to draw useful comparisons between the two languages, while my academic training helps me structure and explain grammar in a clear, logical and memorable way.

Moreover, I believe that learning a language should be engaging, practical and adapted to the individual student. I use modern, interactive materials and tailor my lessons to each learner’s goals, level and pace. Whether you are starting Italian from scratch, preparing for an exam, looking to improve your conversation skills, or simply want to feel more confident using the language, I am here to help you make real progress.

Lessons are available online or face-to-face, and I work with both children and adults. Above all, I value commitment, consistency and mutual respect — I offer maximum seriousness and expect the same from my students.

About Me

I am a calm, friendly and approachable person, and I believe that a positive, relaxed atmosphere is essential for effective learning. I always try to bring a smile and a little bit of warmth to my lessons, while creating a space where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and learning at their own pace.

I continuously update and improve my teaching materials and methods in order to keep my lessons modern, engaging and relevant. Most importantly, I adapt to each student’s individual needs, learning style, goals and pace. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to language learning, so I tailor my lessons to make sure every student feels supported, motivated and able to see their own progress.

Education

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Italian and English Language and Literature, a Master’s Degree, and a PhD.
I regularly attend professional development courses to keep up with the latest teaching methods, educational approaches and trends in language learning.

Experience / Qualifications

I currently teach Italian as a foreign language at a high school in Romania. I also have extensive experience teaching Italian through private one-to-one lessons, as well as individual and group courses for employees in various companies.

Konnichiwa!こんにちは!

Are you going to Japan? Do you like Mangas? The culture and the Japanese language attract you but you never dared to start?
On the contrary, you already have a good foundation and want to take the JLPT exam? Or maybe you have to speak Japanese at work?

My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams
- Professional needs

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.

Whatever your motivation and level, Maki Sensei is here to help! (^ O ^)

This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies.
It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture.

I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

I am a high school teacher. I speak several languages. Arabic is my native language. I have worked with all levels. And I had training in teaching 👩‍🎓. I helped several foreigners master standard Arabic and the Tunisian dialect 🏆.

I follow an official and recognized program to prepare lessons for each learner.
I use conversations, text images, games, videos, stories to facilitate learning.

I am patient, sociable, and I listen to my learners.
In short, I help you to be able to speak, read, and write in Standard Arabic or Tunisian Arabic. 💐

Hi! I’m Thảo, a Vietnamese tutor based in Hanoi, Vietnam, with over 20 years of professional experience and a background in communication and journalism.

I help learners speak Vietnamese clearly, improve their pronunciation, and understand how the language is actually used in real-life situations.

Many learners struggle not because of vocabulary, but because they don’t fully understand pronunciation, context, and cultural meaning.

With over 20 years of professional experience, I know how to communicate clearly and explain complex ideas in a simple, structured way.

In my lessons, I focus on:

• improving your pronunciation step by step

• helping you understand how and why Vietnamese is used in different situations

• building your confidence in real conversations

I carefully correct your mistakes and guide you step by step, so you can improve your accuracy and speak more naturally.

I adapt each lesson to your needs and learning style, so you can learn in a way that works best for you.

Learning Vietnamese can feel confusing at first, especially when you don’t understand how the language works in real life.

I can explain the same concept to you in 100 different ways without getting tired (infinite patience), flexible availability, empathy (I offer a safe space). From kids, curious beginners and intermediate students eager to debate, all the way to advanced senior professionals. My classes are ideal for the modern self-directed learner looking for a mentor who adapts to their pace.
