Native Italian speaker, PhD holder, with 7 years of teaching experience, offers Italian language courses.

Hello,
My name is Giorgia.
I hold a PhD in Italian from the Department of Romance Studies at UNC-University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I also hold a Ph.D. in Contemporary Philosophy focusing on Italian and French Aesthetics. I worked for fifteen years as a translator from French into Italian.

My academic research is interdisciplinary and combines literary criticism and philosophy. My research interests include the relationship between contemporary Italian and French literature, the Italian and French avant-garde movements in literature and film, and the interactions between literature, philosophy, the arts, and film.

For seven years, I have taught Italian at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels, and also taught a course on Italian cinema. In my teaching, I strive to contribute to improving conversational fluency, refining writing skills, and enriching vocabulary. Through contributions on art, history, politics, daily life, cinema, and Italian literature, I invite students to experience the complexity and richness of Italian culture and language.

In addition to being my mother tongue, Italian is a language I love and enjoy teaching. My experience teaching Italian has allowed me to experiment with many different teaching methods, find my own unique teaching style, and, above all, develop teaching activities that have proven very effective with students from the United States, France, and many other countries.

My courses are aimed at all students who wish to master spoken and written Italian, those who want to pass the Agrégation and/or CAPES Italian exams, but also those who wish to cultivate the study of Italian to progress even simply in conversation.

Thank you for your attention.

About Me

I am a passionate and experienced university professor and researcher who has been working in the field of philosophy and comparative literature—particularly Italian and French—for over twenty years.

I hold two PhDs, one in Modern and Contemporary Philosophy and the other in Romance Studies (Comparative Literature). My research interests and written work also extend to literary and film criticism, and my interdisciplinary approach aims to bring different fields of knowledge together in a fruitful way.

I have extensive teaching experience (over 10 years). I would like to offer my professional expertise by providing tutoring in philosophy, Italian, French (FLE), Latin, and Ancient Greek at all levels. My teaching techniques allow me to develop dynamic and creative teaching projects that always place the student at the center of the learning process, trying to stimulate their interest through challenging but also enjoyable activities.

With over 10 years' experience as a translator, I also offer translation services from French to Italian and Italian to French for written texts (mainly literary and philosophical, but also other genres), Italian text revision services, and interpreting services.

Translator of philosophical and literary texts from French into Italian
2010-2016
Hello, My name is Giorgia. I offer private lessons in Latin and Greek to those who want to improve their translation skills in classical languages. I have been dedicated to translating classical languages for over 25 years and offering private lessons for over 20 years. I have extensive experience in classical languages and literature. In fact, I attended the "liceo classico" in Italy, a country whose centuries-old philological tradition requires students on this course to acquire a solid competence in translation from Latin and Greek, as well as a broad knowledge of classical literature, by devoting nine hours a week to the study of classical languages, for the entire duration of the five-year course. I began teaching classical languages during my university years, while also studying other humanistic disciplines, such as philosophy and literature. In fact, I hold an Italian doctorate in philosophy and am currently completing an American PhD in comparative literature. I have never stopped offering private lessons in Latin and Greek. My translation method, tested over twenty years of experience which have confirmed its effectiveness, aims to enable students to acquire mastery of a rigorous translation technique based on the recognition of the quasi-scientific "accuracy" of classical languages and which, once acquired, limits the possibility of making translation errors to almost zero. This technique is based on respect for the syntactic structure of Greek and Latin sentences and on a careful examination of the arrangement of the linguistic elements which constitute them. By teaching mastery of the different stages of analysis of the Latin and/or Greek sentence, the translation technique that I propose allows the student to: - speed up translation time - limit concerns related to the apparent incomprehensibility of classical texts - strengthen knowledge of Latin and/or Greek grammar - acquire the correct method of searching for words in the dictionary - benefit from increasing familiarity in constructing the general meaning of the text to be translated - broaden one's knowledge of the classical cultures which are the basis of our humanist culture. This technique is aimed at all students who wish to master translation, also to succeed in the Latin and Greek exams for the Agrégation and CAPES competitions in Modern and Classical Literature, and at those who wish to cultivate this study in order to better understand our humanist culture which has its roots in classical literature. Thank you for your attention! Giorgia
Hello, My name is Giorgia. I hold a research doctorate in modern and contemporary philosophy. I am currently pursuing a second doctorate in Comparative Literature. My academic research is interdisciplinary and concerns the relationship between contemporary literature and philosophy, and the interactions between literature, philosophy, the arts and cinema. My experience in teaching philosophy dates back to 2011. I have taught philosophy in both high school and university. My courses are aimed at all students, from high school to university, who wish to progress in their knowledge of the history of philosophy. I have been studying philosophy for 23 years. I am delighted to put my professionalism in teaching philosophy at the service of those who wish to progress in their knowledge of the fundamental problems of thought, and to master this "weapon" of knowledge of the world and reality. Thank you for your attention. Giorgia

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.

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 !!

Veronica

Hello everyone. My name is Vero and I teach Spanish, Italian, and English at different levels. I'm a curious, organized, and very communicative person. I love hiking in nature, going to the beach, dancing, cooking (and of course, eating!), traveling, and discovering new cultures. I thoroughly enjoy good conversations, whether on profound or completely unexpected topics. I'm passionate about meeting people from all over the world, sharing ideas, and learning from every experience. I firmly believe that learning a language goes beyond memorizing rules: it's about connecting, expressing yourself, and opening up to new ways of seeing the world. That's why, as a teacher, I strive to create a friendly, dynamic environment tailored to your interests and needs. My approach is 100% practical and adapts to each student's needs and goals. Therefore, from the beginning, I will tailor the classes to your needs, whether you want to improve your conversational skills, prepare for an exam, communicate better in your daily life, or learn a new language for a trip or a life change. I offer dynamic classes focused on real-life situations and designed to help you overcome your fear of speaking from the very beginning. I work with a variety of materials (audio, text, videos, interactive exercises) and help you develop all your language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. I know all too well how overwhelming and frustrating learning a new language can sometimes be. That's why I'll guide you with patience, empathy, clarity, and a lot of motivation to make it a fun and enriching experience. So, if you're looking for effective, enjoyable, and goal-focused classes, feel free to book a session with me. See you soon!

Private Italian lessons from beginner to advanced with an Italian native language

During the university period I gave private lessons to erasmus students in Italy and now I give individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online. 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!

Giulia
Italian lessons held by experienced Italian teacher
I’m a native Italian speaker with a Bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures, I studied in particular English, German and Italian didactic. Right now I'm about to take a Master's Degree in Translation for International Relations. Three years ago I started teaching Italian during my university internship and I understood that's what I want to do for a living. Since then I never stopped: I volunteered as an Italian teacher to refugees and I started teaching online courses for those who love and would like to get to know this beautiful language! I also attended a specific course about teaching languages using games and a playful approach for adults. I use a fresh approach to language teaching: I like to adjust my method to my student. I taught to people coming from all around the world and of all ages: from 8 to 71! My method depends on the source language; the starting level; the final goal; in which context the student would like to use Italian, and so on. I like to include games, songs and novels in my lessons, if the student is interested in any of these. Right now I'm located in Italy (Palermo), but in August I'll move to Berlin.

Italian as a foreign language - Impara l ́italiano divertendoti
Hi! I’m an Italian tutor with over 10 years of experience teaching the language. I speak English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German fluently, which allows me to use a contrastive approach in my lessons. This means I can help you understand Italian by comparing it with your native language, making the learning process clearer and more effective. I’ve taught students of all levels, and I focus on helping you progress at your own pace. My lessons are designed to be practical and focused on achieving real results, whether you're just starting or want to improve your skills. I also have experience teaching at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in São Paulo, Brazil, where I worked for several years. In addition, I’ve participated in professional development courses at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, where I deepened my knowledge of cooperative learning and online language teaching methods. If you’re interested in learning Italian, I’d be happy to help!

Malika Ould
Private Italian courses for academic support and adults
Italian is my second language after French. Being in my third year of business school, I have a solid academic background behind me. For my tutoring sessions, I tailor my classes to each student's needs by combining practical exercises, Italian conversations, and targeted revision. My classes include identifying areas for improvement in advance, interactive activities to help students progress effectively, and support with revision. I also volunteer to write revision sheets. I understand students' difficulties, and contributing to their success is my priority. My classes are aimed at students in compulsory education, up to grade 11. For Italian classes for adults, I'm open to all types of topics and I'm equally adept at teaching beginners and more advanced students. I tailor my classes to your needs and desires, and I truly enjoy building rapport while teaching. I combine both oral conversations in Italian with more literary or written activities.
