Speak real Italian with confidence | Homework made just for you

From 33 C$ /h

Hi, I’m Carlotta 👋 a native Italian tutor with 5 years of experience.

What brought you to Italian? A trip, your family roots, someone special, your job? Tell me your reason, and I’ll build every lesson around it.

What makes my lessons different
• After every lesson I create homework, flashcards and exercises from what you said: your mistakes, your words, your life.
• Lots of speaking from day one, in a relaxed space where mistakes are welcome.
• Grammar explained simply, with no confusing jargon.
• Real Italian: videos, songs, everyday situations and culture. I studied Cultural Anthropology, so for me a language is a way into a culture.

Who I help
✈️ Travelers who want to really talk with people in Italy
🇮🇹 Heritage learners reconnecting with their family’s language
❤️ Partners who want to chat with their Italian family
💼 Professionals who need Italian for work
From complete beginners to intermediate learners.

Before Apprentus, I taught Italian to foreigners in schools and associations in Italy and on Preply. When I’m not teaching, I travel, draw and crochet.

In your trial lesson we’ll talk about your goals, I’ll check your level, and you’ll leave with a clear plan for your first month. Book it, and let’s find the best way for you to learn Italian!

About Me

Ciao! I’m Carlotta, a passionate Italian language tutor with nearly 5 years of experience helping students from all over the world reach their learning goals. I hold a Master's degree in Cultural Anthropology and am currently preparing for the CEDILS certification in language teaching.

I believe that learning a new language should be engaging, personal, and encouraging. My lessons are strictly student-centered: I design tailored learning paths based on your real needs, interests, and goals - whether you are a complete beginner or looking to build fluency and confidence. I integrate cultural elements into our conversations and use modern tools and technology to keep every lesson fresh, dynamic, and effective.

I enjoy working with motivated learners of all levels, and backgrounds. Whether you are learning Italian for travel, work, study, or simply out of love for the culture, I create a patient, supportive environment where you can speak comfortably without fear of making mistakes.

Teaching allows me to connect with different cultures while sharing my own. That continuous exchange is what keeps my passion and enthusiasm alive every single day! I look forward to meeting you and starting this learning journey together!

- 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 Sanghee and a native Korean speaker.

With 5+ years of teaching experience and a certificate from a Korean teacher training program, I've taught many different students from other countries. I started my 'Uri Korean' business in the Netherlands, and I also make educational content for all learners to make it very accessible.

If you don't know any Korean, we can start by learning the Korean alphabet.
The private classes can be 1:1 or 1:2, and they will be focused on your level and pace.
You will just need to spend 1 to 2 hours doing your homework assignments.

I use Korean language school textbooks for the class, so you can learn step-by-step.
My classes consist of speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills, as well as grammar and vocabulary.
I will give you many chances to speak Korean in every lesson.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you soon in class!

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 !!

Zambian history is so rich coming back to the pre -colonial days, colonial days and post colonial days.Zambia a land locked country with 8 neighbouring countries :
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola.
The country has 72 Tribes and 10 provinces with 226 parliamentary Constituencies for political governance.
Each tribe is rich in culture and amazingly all the tribes have some common culture practices across the country.
More interesting it's abundance of natural local foods and different methods of preparing food.

If you may have the following questions:
1.What was the pre-colonial life in Zambia before being colonized by Britain?
2.What was it like during colonial days in Zambia?
3.What was a breaking point that made local people unite and fight colonialism?
4.What was the post-colonial life style?
5.What is the current lifestyle in Zambia?
Guess what? All those Questions are covered and satisfactory answers are given during lessons.

Hi! I’m Thảo, a Vietnamese tutor based in Hanoi, Vietnam, with over 20 years of professional experience and a background in communication and journalism.

I help learners speak Vietnamese clearly, improve their pronunciation, and understand how the language is actually used in real-life situations.

Many learners struggle not because of vocabulary, but because they don’t fully understand pronunciation, context, and cultural meaning.

With over 20 years of professional experience, I know how to communicate clearly and explain complex ideas in a simple, structured way.

In my lessons, I focus on:

• improving your pronunciation step by step

• helping you understand how and why Vietnamese is used in different situations

• building your confidence in real conversations

I carefully correct your mistakes and guide you step by step, so you can improve your accuracy and speak more naturally.

I adapt each lesson to your needs and learning style, so you can learn in a way that works best for you.

Learning Vietnamese can feel confusing at first, especially when you don’t understand how the language works in real life.
