Education

I graduated in Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Venice. Then I was granted scholarships that allowed me to attend an advanced course in Japanese language at the ICU University in Tokyo and later to complete a doctoral course at Doshisha University in Kyoto. I lived in Japan for six years and retain wonderful memories of that special time.

Experience / Qualifications

After completing my scholarship studies, I began teaching Italian at both the Italian-Japanese Cultural Center of Kyoto and the Shibuya Language Schools of Osaka.
Upon my return to Italy, I continued to teach Italian to managers of Milan-based Japanese companies as well as to their families and to other non-Italian visitors and residents. Later my world expanded to teaching Italian online.

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!

Hi! I'm Tanya.
I was born in Italy, but for the last two years of my life I have traveled the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East, traveling and working remotely.
I am a professional teacher with 6 years of experience. 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.
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!
I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!
That's because I love 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 came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to model 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 is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language.
My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning.
My classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic.
GROUP LESSONS possible!
See you soon! :-)

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 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!

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'm a very dynamic teacher and I love conversation. My students should be willing to put themselves in the game, trying to talk as much as they can. We're here to have fun and learn without feeling judged. So don't be afraid!
I've been teaching Italian as a foreign language for several years now, both with volunteering and private lessons.

My classes are addressed to any age and any level (A1-C2).
My major conversation topics are: literature, travels, music, latest news.
I use both online resources (interviews, video, pdf files, etc) and the grammar book "New Italian grammar in practice" from Susanna Nocchi
