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.

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.

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.

Learn Italian through structured, practical, and personalized lessons adapted to your level and goals.

I can help you if you are starting from the beginning, preparing for an exam, improving your conversation skills, or learning Italian for travel, study, work, or everyday life.

During the lessons, we will work step by step on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, and conversation. I use practical materials such as short texts, images, videos, cultural topics, and real-life dialogues.

You will not only learn the language, but also discover Italian culture, traditions, history, food, and everyday life.

Lessons are interactive and adapted to your interests, learning pace, and personal objectives. I can support students in Italian, English, and Russian.

Buongiorno!

Looking for words (and a great conversation)? Learn Italian with me!

Tired of the usual apps with unlikely phrases like "Il ragno beve latte"? If you really want to learn how to order a coffee without hesitation, understand the nuances of a film or simply chat with ease, you’ve come to the right place.

I teach Italian in a dynamic, personalised way that’s anything but boring:

- Real-Life Conversation: Let’s talk about culture, current affairs, food, films or your interests.

- Stress-Free Grammar: I’ll explain it clearly, without turning it into a nightmare.

- Tailor-Made Lessons: Whether you’re starting from scratch or want to perfect your advanced level, we’ll adapt to your pace and goals.

Online lessons on Zoom or Skype.

My classes are designed for students of all school levels and for non-native Italian-speaking students who want to get started with the language or who intend to improve it.

It will begin with an initial introductory interview, which can also be conducted in other languages if the student doesn't yet feel ready to take it in Italian. Afterwards, you will gradually get into the actual work. Materials prepared by me, designed to fill any gaps, will be used, along with targeted readings and exercises.

The classes will take place in a calm and attentive atmosphere, respecting the times and needs of each!

The goal is to accompany the student on his or her academic journey, helping him or her overcome difficulties and enhance his or her abilities.

Italian is a rich and beautiful language. Understanding the romance of Italian songs, knowing how to speak with locals, or simply wanting to impress your friends, learning the most beautiful of languages has many benefits.
Having lived in Italy for 2 years myself, my course will be based on concrete conversations and also on contemporary Italian culture.
You will learn to converse using a method that allowed me to become fluent in Italian in 6 months. It's simply a matter of speaking without worrying about mistakes and, above all, with complete confidence. By speaking regularly, even making mistakes, your brain will automatically adapt its language to match that of the tutor (me) and you will learn vocabulary, grammar, etc., much faster.
Of course, preparatory sheets will be sent to you before each lesson so that you don't start from scratch. I will also send you "homework" based on your difficulties and weaknesses.
I'm really looking forward to teaching Italian to motivated students and I'm ready to start tomorrow!
