Parliamo Insieme! Italian Conversation for All Levels

From 30.87 C$ /h

Ready to speak Italian? Whether you're starting with your first ciao or you want to polish your fluency, this class is for you. Welcome to an Italian class where the number one rule is to speak! If you've always wanted to learn Italian but have been intimidated by complex grammar rules, this course is designed for you.

My entire focus is on practical, spoken conversation from day one. In our lively and interactive sessions, you won't find traditional grammar lectures. Instead, you'll learn Italian in the most natural way possible: by using it. Through guided conversations, fun games, and real-life scenarios, you'll begin to intuitively understand the structure of the language. My role is to guide you to discover the patterns yourself, not to teach you a list of rules.

This method makes learning feel less like studying and more like an adventure. It's a low-pressure environment where making mistakes is a celebrated part of the process. You'll be surprised at how quickly your confidence grows and you start thinking in Italian.

This class is perfect for:

Absolute beginners with no prior experience.

Anyone who wants to focus on speaking and listening skills.

Learners who prefer a dynamic, hands-on approach over textbook study.

Join me and start your journey to speaking Italiano!

About Me

Ciao! I'm Ylenia, and if there are two things I love, it's talking with new people and sharing the beauty of the Italian language. I'm an outgoing, enthusiastic, and qualified teacher, and I believe that learning Italian should be an adventure, not a chore!

My classroom is a place of energy and conversation. We learn by doing, which means we start speaking from day one. I'll guide you to discover grammar naturally through fun, interactive activities, so you'll absorb the rules without even realizing you're studying them.

As for my credentials, I bring both experience and official qualifications to our lessons:

3 Years of Teaching Experience: I have successfully guided students from absolute beginners to advanced speakers.

DITALS Level II Certification: I hold the highest-level certification from the University for Foreigners of Siena, ensuring my teaching methods are modern, effective, and professional.

Exam Preparation Expert: I have specific experience helping students prepare for and pass official Italian language certifications like CILS and CELI.

Whether your goal is to order an espresso in Milan with perfect pronunciation, connect with your Italian heritage, or achieve an official certification, I will create a personalized path for you. My lessons are dynamic, full of laughter, and built around your interests.

I can't wait to meet you and start our conversation! A presto!

Education

I earned a Bachelor's degree in Languages, Culture, and Societies of Asia and Mediterranean Africa with a major in Korean in 2021 at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Italy.

Experience / Qualifications

I hold the DITALS II certification from the University for Foreigners of Siena, an advanced qualification that assesses and certifies the theoretical and practical skills required to teach Italian as a foreign or second language. I am currently working as an Italian teacher at A Door to Italy, an Italian language school in Genoa, Italy, where I have been teaching since 2024. Previously, I worked at Un’Altra Storia, a cooperative in Genoa, from 2021 to 2022, where I taught Italian to immigrants, supporting their linguistic and cultural integration into Italian society. These experiences have strengthened my skills in language instruction, intercultural communication, and designing inclusive, learner-centered educational programs.

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.

👋🏼 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.

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.

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.
