Speak Italian with Ease! Italian Lessons from a Native Teacher

From 47 C$ /h

Hello there! I'm Valentina I am Italian born and raised in the charming city of Salerno, Italy. My academic journey led me to graduate at the University of Salerno, where I completed both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in "Modern Languages and Literatures" (Europeans and Americans) specialising in English and German language.

One of the highlights of my educational experience was the 6-month period in Germany, Bonn for my Erasmus programme, where I immersed myself in a new language and culture, broadening my perspective on the world.

Proficient in my native Italian and fluent in English, I've been sharing my passion for languages as a certified English tutor for the past three years. Teaching is not just a profession for me; it's a way to connect with people, delve into diverse cultures, and share the beauty of language.
That's the reason why I am so happy to teach Italian in English or any other language you wish me to teach.
I design my classes according to the level of the students and the objectives. My classes with include speaking, reading, vocabulary, listening activities but also fun activities like games and role playing.

Beyond the classroom, I am a multifaceted individual with a love for sports, a voracious reader, and a perpetual student always eager to learn. Dancing is one of my passions, providing a creative outlet for self-expression. I find joy in exploring new languages, and my travels have been a continuous source of inspiration, allowing me to blend my interests seamlessly.

Speak English with Confidence — English Lessons with a Qualified Teacher

41 C$ /h

My name is Valentina and I'm originally from Salerno. I obtained a master's degree in Modern Languages and Literatures, specializing in English and German. During my academic career, I had the opportunity to participate in the Erasmus program at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn in Germany, enriching my study experience and my understanding of foreign languages.

My passion for languages began during the linguistic high school, where I also studied French and Spanish. During that time, I spent three weeks in Dublin for a total immersion experience in the English language.

Currently, I am involved in teaching English at a parity high school. This experience allows me to put my knowledge of foreign languages into practice and to share my passion for learning with children. I am a lively, sweet and sensitive person, and I like to be a reference model not only in teaching, but also in everyday life.
Being in contact with young people is for me an opportunity to inspire and guide them not only in the field of languages, but also in personal growth. I am convinced that language learning goes beyond mere grammatical knowledge and that it can contribute significantly to the development of people who are aware and open to the world.
If you are looking for a passionate and engaging teacher to improve your language skills, you are in the right place! My lessons are not only based on grammar, but also aim to grow students as conscious and open individuals to the world.

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.

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!

As a native Italian teacher with academic training in languages and experience teaching students of varying levels, I believe it is essential to develop all language skills in a balanced way: speaking, listening comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing, always placing special emphasis on oral communication. My classes combine clear and structured explanations with practical and interactive activities that allow students to apply their newly acquired knowledge from the very beginning. Grammar and vocabulary are taught in context, serving as tools to improve expression and fluency in everyday conversations. I also like to incorporate a playful and creative element through language games, role-playing activities, debates, simulated situations, audiovisual resources, and interactive exercises. In this way, learning becomes a more enjoyable, motivating, and participatory experience, without losing sight of the learning objectives. Each class is tailored to the students' level, pace, interests, and needs, creating a supportive and stimulating environment where making mistakes is seen as part of the learning process. My goal is for each student not only to learn Italian, but to dare to speak it, gain confidence and discover the pleasure of communicating in another language, while also getting closer to Italian culture and customs.
