Italian Literature – Tutoring, Analysis & Exam Preparation

From 92 C$ /h

I offer personalised Italian Literature lessons for students who want to improve their understanding of literary texts, analysis and written expression.

Lessons can include the study of authors and literary movements, text analysis, themes and historical context, essay writing, oral presentations and exam preparation. I adapt each lesson to the student’s level and school programme, helping them develop both stronger analytical skills and greater confidence in expressing their ideas.

As a native Italian speaker with experience in education, I aim to make literature engaging, accessible and connected to its wider cultural context.

Extra information

Lessons can be held online or in person, depending on location and availability. Before the first lesson, I like to understand the student’s level, goals and any specific difficulties they would like to work on, so that I can prepare lessons accordingly.

I am happy to work with students of different ages and levels, including school support, homework, revision and exam preparation. Lessons can be conducted in English or Italian.

I am flexible and approachable, and I encourage students to ask questions and actively participate throughout the lesson. My aim is to create a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, learning and building confidence.

- 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.

Ciao! I have been teaching Italian for the past sixteen years, privately and at language schools including La Scuola Italiana del Greenwich Village in New York and ItalCultura, the school of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago.

During our first two lessons, I’ll make sure you have the tools to pronounce and recognize all the sounds of Italian. This step is essential, and it makes everything that comes afterwards much easier.

When I teach, I try to avoid all the things I hated as a language student. My terrifying French teacher in middle school made us repeat the same fake dialogue from a really bad textbook ad nauseam, over and over and over again. Some of it is still carved into my brain: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Richard Drapeau, je viens du Canada, je suis Canadien...”

So we won’t do that.

We’ll use real songs and real literature. We’ll have real conversations, tell stories, improvise, and, when possible, go on “talking walks.” I find that when you engage more of your senses, it becomes easier to relax, stay curious, and actually remember new words.

I customize my materials around your interests, needs, and desired pace. If you love cinema, we can work with films. If you’re interested in literature, politics, food, art, history, or simply being able to have a proper conversation when you’re in Italy, that can become part of the class.

And because you’re learning with a native Italian, you’ll also learn about Italian culture, history, habits, gestures, contradictions, and ways of thinking. Language is never just a pile of grammar rules.

I speak several languages myself, so I know both how exciting and how painfully tedious learning one can be. My aim is to give you a strong foundation without draining all the life out of it.

I hold a degree in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (Foreign Languages and Literatures) from Università Roma Tre and a Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media from Columbia College Chicago. I wrote my university thesis on translating a long epic poem by W. H. Auden, and at one point I tried to ride a horse across America.

Teacher of French as a Foreign Language and Literature – Over 25 years of experience
As a teacher of French as a Foreign Language (FLE) and French literature for over 25 years, I offer personalized courses, adapted to the needs, level and objectives of each learner, from child to adult.
My teaching experience allows me to support students in various contexts and with all French as a Foreign Language (FLE) methods and teaching materials. I easily adapt to the textbooks used by the student, their school or university curriculum, and also to their specific needs when they wish to progress in a more targeted way.
French as a Foreign Language Course
The aim of French as a Foreign Language (FLE) courses is to enable the learner to make concrete and lasting progress in the four skills:
oral comprehension
reading comprehension
oral expression
written expression.
Particular attention is paid to communication, pronunciation, vocabulary enrichment, grammar and mastery of the structures of the French language.
Each course is designed according to the student's level and objectives: refresher course, academic progress, improvement, general French, academic French, exam preparation or improvement of oral and written expression.
📖 French Literature Course
As I am also a literature teacher, I offer French literature courses at all levels.
These courses may cover the study of works, literary movements, authors and genres, but also methodology: text analysis, commentary, essay, text explanation, argumentation and exam preparation.
The objective is to develop in the student a genuine ability to understand, analyze, interpret and argue, while enriching their vocabulary and literary culture.
Preparation for the DELF and DALF exams
I have been a DELF/DALF examiner-marker for 13 years, with accreditation covering levels A1 to C2.
This experience allows me to prepare candidates by knowing precisely the expectations, evaluation criteria and requirements of the different tests.
I offer specific exam preparation:
DELF A1, A2, B1 and B2;
DALF C1 and C2;
training for written and oral exams;
exam simulations;
correction and detailed analysis of the productions;
work on recurring errors;
vocabulary enrichment and improved expression;
Tips and strategies for better managing time and the different stages of the test.
Thanks to my 13 years of experience as an examiner-marker, I can also help the candidate understand precisely what is expected during the exam and identify the points they need to improve as a priority.
My candidates' success rate: 100%.
Personalized support
My approach is based primarily on personalized, supportive, and demanding teaching. I believe that each learner has their own pace, their own difficulties, and their own objectives.
Before starting, I identify the student's needs and level in order to create a tailored support program. The lessons are then regularly adjusted according to their progress.
Whether you wish to learn French, improve your level, prepare for an exam, strengthen your oral or written expression, succeed in the DELF/DALF or deepen your knowledge of French literature, I will support you with over 25 years of teaching experience.

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 !!

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!
