About Me

Enthusiastic science graduate with a passion for sharing their knowledge with others.

Looking to inspire people to take up the study of STEM subjects. In particular I am keen to teach applied mathematics, including math biology and fluid dynamics.

I love learning and teaching languages. I am very thorough and can give detailed explanations of grammar as well as offer more relaxed conversation practice.

Applied mathematics: introduction to mathematical biology.

49 C$ /h

This class is for students wishing to get started with Mathematical Biology. The content leans more towards deterministic modelling of biological models than biological content itself. Notes will be provided.

I teach with a mixture of pen and paper explanations and exercises. I use examples to help the student understand the content. I make references to physics or real life situations to put maths in contexts, which I find helps relating to the content. I mark exercises and explain solutions, pointing out how answers could be improved. I provide reports on students progress.

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living between Pisa and Rome. I have 10 years of 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. I can offer students private accommodation in Pisa, a comfortable private apartment in the historic center of the city, a short walk from my home.

- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and putting 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.

I've been teaching Italian for over 5 years, armed with a Double Degree in Languages, plus not one, but two Masters in teaching Italian! 🎓 🇮🇹 And here's the ciliegina sulla torta: I just started a BSc in International Communication.

Are you ready to embark on an incredible adventure through the enchanting world of Italy, Italians, and gestures? :-)

We begin by assessing your level, goals, and needs. Together, we craft a personalized plan, ensuring that your learning experience is tailored, efficient, and effective. The classes are tailored to suit your individual level, needs, and goals. Depending on you, we will use textbooks, online tools, or articles among others.

My approach encompasses various aspects such as conversation, vocabulary, grammar, Italian culture, or test preparation.

Ciao! I have been teaching Italian for the past sixteen years, privately and at language schools including La Scuola Italiana del Greenwich Village in New York and ItalCultura, the school of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago.

During our first two lessons, I’ll make sure you have the tools to pronounce and recognize all the sounds of Italian. This step is essential, and it makes everything that comes afterwards much easier.

When I teach, I try to avoid all the things I hated as a language student. My terrifying French teacher in middle school made us repeat the same fake dialogue from a really bad textbook ad nauseam, over and over and over again. Some of it is still carved into my brain: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Richard Drapeau, je viens du Canada, je suis Canadien...”

So we won’t do that.

We’ll use real songs and real literature. We’ll have real conversations, tell stories, improvise, and, when possible, go on “talking walks.” I find that when you engage more of your senses, it becomes easier to relax, stay curious, and actually remember new words.

I customize my materials around your interests, needs, and desired pace. If you love cinema, we can work with films. If you’re interested in literature, politics, food, art, history, or simply being able to have a proper conversation when you’re in Italy, that can become part of the class.

And because you’re learning with a native Italian, you’ll also learn about Italian culture, history, habits, gestures, contradictions, and ways of thinking. Language is never just a pile of grammar rules.

I speak several languages myself, so I know both how exciting and how painfully tedious learning one can be. My aim is to give you a strong foundation without draining all the life out of it.

I hold a degree in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (Foreign Languages and Literatures) from Università Roma Tre and a Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media from Columbia College Chicago. I wrote my university thesis on translating a long epic poem by W. H. Auden, and at one point I tried to ride a horse across America.

Do you love Italy and would love to travel there? Would like to know more about the culture? My lessons are personalized to your needs and I make sure you don't get overwhelmed by the language, but enjoy the process of learning it! I always add a cultural element to my classes, so it's not just learning grammar, but learning how Italian people actually think and live.
Depending on your preference, I can teach the class fully in Italian or using English or Japanese when necessary.

As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing.

Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing.
We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis.
We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them.
In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!

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 !!

Hi, I'm Paola and I'm a graduate in Italian Literature and I also have a master's degree in Teaching Italian to Foreigners.
During my time at university, I gave private lessons to Erasmus students in Italy. That experience further strengthened my interest in teaching. For many years, I have been giving individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online to students of various levels. Whether you want to learn or improve your Italian, I am happy to help you.
I use a book that I integrate with different materials. Conversation is very important, but so is listening and understanding a text.
The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information.

A presto!

If you wish to brush up your Italian, resume a past series of lessons, or simply start from scratch learning Italian, this is the right lesson for you! I like to personalize each class/course according to the needs and goals of my students. My classes are focused on improving the student's communication skills. At beginner and lower intermediate levels, I prefer using a text book/ student book in the first part of the class. I usually use "Nuovissimo Progetto Italiano" and "Arrivederci" by Edilingua, or "Nuovo Espresso" and "Dieci" by Alma Publishing. For the second part of the lesson, I create engaging contents using original videos, press articles, extracts from blogs and social media, literary texts. If the students do not feel comfortable using Italian from scratch, I can switch to English, German, or Dutch. The course fee includes the correction of home assignments.

Hooi! I'm Tanya.
I was born in Venice, Italy.
In the past years of my life, I have traveled the world, visiting over 80 countries and working remotely.
I am a professional teacher with 7 years of experience.
Italian is my native language. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.
Three years ago I opened my own language school in the Netherlands: Lingodrops.
I have a degree in languages, I am certified in international law and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language but also how to learn new languages! :-D
I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!

I love learning and teaching new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to tailor my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.

My classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch

GROUP LESSONS possible!
See you soon! A presto

I offer Italian lessons for adults using a specific, very lively and effective method that will allow you to understand, read books in Italian, watch films in the original version and above all to express yourself quickly, with a solid grammatical foundation, in everyday life, but also to have rich conversations with your interlocutors.
Possibility of face-to-face or video lessons, at your convenience, knowing that my video lessons are just as interactive and lively as in person.

In this lesson we will study the past simple( il passato prossimo ) in Italian language and we learn how to form and use it in the daily conversation . It's one of the important objects in the Italian grammar because it's mainly used in daily life

Attualmente sto frequentando un Master in Finance e ho una solida preparazione accademica.
Mi piace condividere le mie conoscenze e aiutare gli studenti a comprendere anche gli argomenti più complessi in modo chiaro e intuitivo. Il mio approccio è paziente, strutturato e personalizzato in base alle esigenze e al ritmo di apprendimento di ciascuno studente.
Credo che un buon tutor non debba limitarsi a spiegare i concetti o a fornire le risposte corrette, ma debba soprattutto aiutare gli studenti a sviluppare un metodo di studio efficace, acquisire sicurezza e diventare autonomi nella risoluzione dei problemi.

Ciao! I am a teacher of Italian for foreigners and dal 2020 students who have diverse lives to improve and improve the Italian language.

My lessons are personalised, dynamic and orientated in communication. Finally, first of all, we work on our conversation and practical use of the language, without analyzing the grammar, the writing and the pronunciation.

I use manuali didattici, video, articoli, podcast ed esercizi pracici to sviluppare tutte le competenze linguistiche e avvicinarti alla cultura nacional.

Lezioni sono rivolte a studentsi dai livelli A1 a B2+, con obiettivi diversi: travel, communicate with maggiore security, prepare esami or simply cultivate the passion for the Italian language.

Ogni percorso comes adapted to your essence, to your interest and to your rhythm of learning.

Ti aspetto a lezione!
