Italian lessons with a native speaker – Conversation, Grammar & Everyday Italian

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 45 C$ /h

Hi! I’m Elisa, a native Italian speaker and a European Studies student at the University of Amsterdam. I have previous experience as a freelance tutor in Italy, where I gave private lessons to students with different levels and learning needs.

My lessons are suitable for beginners as well as more advanced students. Whether you want to learn Italian from scratch, improve your grammar and vocabulary, practise conversation, work on pronunciation, or prepare for a trip, university or an exam, we can build the lessons around your goals.

I believe that learning a language should be practical and enjoyable, so my lessons combine conversation, grammar, vocabulary, listening and real-life situations. I also like to include aspects of Italian culture, such as music, films, food, travel and everyday life.

Extra information

For the first lesson, we’ll get to know each other, discuss your goals and assess your level through a few simple activities. This allows me to create a personalised approach for future lessons.

✨ Lessons available online
✨ Suitable for different levels
✨ Personalised materials and exercises
✨ Italian conversation and everyday language
✨ English can also be used when explanations are needed

My goal is to help you feel comfortable using Italian and gradually become more confident and independent in the language.

About Me

Since you are a tutor, you will be able to see your personal preference “so that you can enjoy the same feeling” 😭 and your caracteristics are as follows:

I'm a friendly, patient and open-minded person who genuinely enjoys meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I'm naturally curious and I like creating a relaxed and positive atmosphere, where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes without feeling judged.

I'm also organized and responsible, but I like to keep things flexible and adapt to each student's personality and learning style. I'm a good listener and I believe that lessons are much more effective when they feel like a real conversation rather than a traditional classroom.

Most importantly, I'm enthusiastic about languages and communication, and I enjoy helping others become more confident while using a new language.

Education

I'm currently studying European Studies at the University of Amsterdam, where I focus on European history, politics, culture and languages. Being an international student myself has made me even more interested in languages and communication, and I really enjoy sharing my own language and culture with others.

Experience / Qualifications

Before moving to the Netherlands, I worked as a freelance tutor in Italy alongside my studies, giving private lessons and helping students improve their language skills. This experience taught me how to adapt my lessons to different learning styles, levels and individual needs.

🇮🇹 Learn Italian in a simple, practical and relaxed way!

Hi! I’m Elisa, a native Italian speaker and tutor. I offer personalised lessons in Italian and English, adapted to your level, goals and interests.

Whether you’re starting Italian from scratch, want to improve your speaking skills, need help with grammar, or simply want to feel more confident using the language in everyday situations, I’ll adapt the lessons to what works best for you.

I like to keep my lessons interactive and conversational, focusing on real-life language rather than just memorising grammar rules. We can work on pronunciation, vocabulary, conversation, grammar and listening, while also exploring culture, music, films, travel and everyday life.

If you’re learning Italian or English for travel, university, work, exams, or simply because you enjoy languages, I’ll help you make progress in a comfortable and motivating environment. Mistakes are completely fine — they’re part of learning! 🇮🇹🇬🇧✨

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.

👋🏼 Hello! I'm Francesca. Do you want to learn or improve your Italian?
No problem, more than 300 students have studied with me and learned while having fun. I started teaching at 19 thanks to the director of my high school and I have more than 15 years of experience, in Italy and abroad, all over the world thanks to the internet.
I offer online Italian courses for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, i.e., C2. I always have quality reference books to recommend to students.
My classes are highly personalized and tailored to the specific needs of each student. I guarantee quality because I put a lot of passion and care into everything I do, trying not to overlook the details.

🚀 During the lessons, I will help you learn the basics of general Italian, paying attention to pronunciation and intonation while reading. I am always attentive to the needs of the students and ready to tailor my lessons. My lessons are an investment for the present and the future because they are prepared with passion, a lot of experience, and dedication 🧡.

🌟 If you are a beginner, don't worry because I take great care to make you feel comfortable.

➡️ I work on different levels: conversation on different topics, grammar, reading, writing, dictation and games (role-playing games in which the student can test himself by communicating in a natural and practical way with the teacher, as in real life).
In addition, preparation for official language certificates (CELI, CILS, PLIDA), the Swiss maturity exam, apprenticeship as a commercial employee CFC and tailor-made courses in a certain professional field.
➡️ All levels: A1-C2

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 !!

Ciao! I'm Tanya :)
I was born and raised in Venice.
I am a professional teacher with 7 years of experience. I translated medical and legal articles, panels in the Venice Glass Museum and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.
In the last years of my life I traveled the world, visited more than 80 countries and worked remotely.
I have been working with Dutch people for three years, through my language school: Lingodrops.
I graduated in languages, am certified in international law and am a language coach. Language coaching means that I not only teach you a language, but also how to learn new ones!
I closely follow your entire learning process, to get the most out of your possibilities!
This is because I like learning 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 devised a method myself to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years, I have learned to shape 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 hobby and greatest passion is learning other languages, so from my experience I can understand many of the difficulties associated with learning a foreign language.
My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning.
My lessons are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic.
GROUP CLASSES possible!
Arrivederci!

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.

If you answer yes to one or more of these questions:
○ Do you want to learn the basics of Italian, one of the most beautiful languages in the world?
○ Would you like to converse in Italian with a native speaker, improve your oral communication and pronunciation, and learn new commonly used expressions?
○ Are you fascinated by the culture, art, gastronomy or even the history of Italy?
○ Or do you mainly need to revise Italian grammar, improve your written communication or practice conjugation?

So good news, look no further: you've come to the right place!
Dante's language will no longer hold any secrets for you thanks to clear, dynamic and entertaining lessons, adapted to your pace and your personal needs.

- Small games will also be organized: don't they say that it's by having fun that we learn best?
- In addition, classes will be taught primarily in Italian from day one. For me, immersion is the most direct method of learning. However, I will use French, English, or German to clarify any doubts, especially for beginners.
- Having learned many languages myself, I understand the challenges you face and can share with you the techniques that helped me overcome them.
- At the end of each course, you will receive a personalized document containing all my notes and observations to facilitate revision and your learning.

If you are motivated, I can:
- plan homework to help you progress more quickly.
- share authentic material with you in the form of articles, videos, films or podcasts to present and comment on with me during the course.

An expert in Italian culture and literature thanks to my university studies and multilingualism, I offer courses that will help you progress quickly thanks to an effective method.
My classes are structured to allow you to practice conversation (practice Italian through everyday situations), work on grammar in a targeted manner and enrich your vocabulary through the analysis of written or oral documents together.

No, you don't see the unexpected news, here you go!
I look forward to meeting you, see you soon!

Italian is one of the most beautiful language in the whole world; and what’s better than learning it from an Italian girl without having to move from your couch? Absolutely nothing. I’m Lara and I’m a 23 years old student in Paris. I’d love to introduce you to this language via webcam online.
I speak English very fluently as well and I’m also nice and used to be around children, if you need lessons for your younger son or daughter.

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.

Learning a language is an exciting journey, but it can get lonely or frustrating sometimes: that's when you may need someone to share your struggle with. As a language learner myself, I know how it feels, I am acquainted with the most common struggles and I would be therefore very happy to support you learning Italian.

We can work on grammar, reading skills, writing skills and speaking. We can chat about any topic and discuss Italian literature, music and movies in an open and relaxed environment.
