Are you planning to travel around Italy? Perhaps you love this language and would like to communicate with the locals whenever you visit it? Maybe you want to another language to your CV, or you just want to learn it because it is beautiful.
Whatever your reason, I offer tailor-made lessons to obtain the best results. This means that I will create the materials needed based on what you need, and not in a generic book. Every student is different so you can't apply a book expecting it to be everything the student needs.

I am a native Spanish speaker holding a Bachelor's degree in TEFL and a Master in Italian language. I've started my degree in the prestigious University of Granada in Spain and completed it in Cambridge, UK.
I have been teaching since I am 18, to all levels, for all different kind of specific purposes, obtaining great results.
Teaching is my vocation and my passion!

Satisfaction guaranteed after many years of experience teaching all ages and all levels.

Ciao!

I am Michela and I come from Rome. I am a professional and qualified language teacher for secondary schools. I have been teaching languages since 2011 to all levels and backgrounds. I funded my own company for Language services' in 2018 in London and in 2021 in Utrecht (Giardino Italiano).

I will be happy to help you either learning from scratch or improving your skills! I am very good at differentiating tasks, and I always work tailoring my lesson on students' level and needs in order to help students to improve. Over the years I have gained experience in teaching students with all types of abilities. I have also experience in working with students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, AHDH, and autism.

I offer different types of courses (standard courses/ grammar through games/ conversation through topics/ conversation through games, music, films, cooking), using different tools and techniques, always trying to make my lessons fun, engaging, and well-structured. Since practice makes perfect, every lesson you will be given homework as independent learning is an extremely important part of the language learning process.

I am very passionate about learning languages and teaching them is just part of my inner-nature. I am a language learner like you, so I know all the struggles you might encounter in your learning journey. I have developed many techniques over the years to overcome difficulties so let me help you!
Moreover, I keep studying and researching psychology-pedagogy and teaching techniques in order to keep my skills up- to -date and to experiment with always new ways to help my students learning to the best of their abilities.

A presto!

The class is focused on your particular interest. I could teach from science (in particular, dentistry) to Latin American culture and gastronomy. If you are planing a trip to a Spanish speaking country, I could also teach yo about the country and important slang that would help you to communicate.

I specialize in teaching Greek to beginners and intermediate students, providing them the foundation to master this difficult language. I cover topics such as word order, grammar, spoken vs. written Greek, conversational and every day Greek, as well as spelling, writing, and pronunciation. Each class can be tailored to the students individual needs. This class is for anybody who just wants to improve speaking/writing, as well as for those just starting out.
Lessons can be given online, or in person.
Greek is a language that is increasingly spoken, and is useful in many aspects of life, including but not limited to: biology, geometry, medical terminology, etc. With Greece's economy growing, it is an ideal destination to move either as an expat, digital nomad, or as a startup company. I look forward to helping you on your journey of acquiring this language!

If you are interested in learning the culture, how to write traditional Chinese, things about Taiwan, how to speak basic Taiwanese, even Chinese dishes, you find the right guy.

The form of the class could be fairly flexible. We will discuss what aspect you'd like to focus on more and I will try my best to help you.

Hello! Do you want to learn Spanish in a simple and dynamic way? I offer Spanish classes at different levels and adapted to the needs of each student: with a greater focus on grammar, vocabulary, conversation, or even the culture of the country of siesta, flamenco and paella :)

I am Marta (20), a Spanish student of Advertising, Public Relations and Marketing. I am currently in Utrecht pursuing my university studies and I consider myself a proactive, creative, organized and intelligent person.

Will you give me a chance?

Hello!

My name's Valeria, I'm Italian and I hold an Arts, Culture and Media BA degree, which I've earned at the University of Groningen (Netherlands). Recently I've also completed the the Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) (TEFL Academy), thereby becoming officially qualified to professionally teach English both in an in-person and online format. My private English classes will not only cover grammar rules and vocabulary items, but they'll also be largely centred around engaging in lighthearted conversations about everyday topics. Indeed, I think it's crucial to foster in learners the confidence necessary to navigate day-to-day interactions in the outside world.

As already mentioned, I'm an Italian native speaker: I've been raised in Verona (North-Eastern Italy) and I've also completed my school path there. Similarly to my English classes, my Italian private lessons will cover grammar and vocabulary items, while also largely focusing around simple conversations about everyday topics (e.g., small talk, greeting, introducing oneself, etcetera).

I guarantee that I'll make each and every class as fun and insightful as possible! 😁😁

I'm looking forward to working with you!

I tailor my tutoring and classes to the needs of each student. As a Native French speaker and student in Linguistics I use different approaches and methods to make learning French enjoyable and efficient. In each class, we will focus on a specific aspect of the French language, whether it is pronouncing a certain sound or understanding a certain grammatical phenomenon, in a way that builds on the strengths and is challenging to the student.

Hello! I am from Madrid but I am living in Utrecht. I am a "cat", this means that I, my parents and my grandparents were born in Madrid. I love languages. I have studied English for many years, so I know what it feels like to learn and I have discovered the best tricks for both learning and teaching a language! I want to make you speak like a native! :)

Two years of experience and I love it! Before I studied funny things like theater and acting and then I worked as a web developer, so our topics of conversation can be very varied!

Hi there! My name is Altea. I’m a qualified and experienced teacher with over eight years of experience teaching students of all ages, levels, and backgrounds.
I’m a native Italian speaker, and I lived in the UK for eight years, where I taught Italian in individual, group, and online lessons. I have supported students preparing for A-Level Italian, professionals working with the Italian market, and people planning to travel or move to Italy.

I teach Italian (and English) using the Direct Communicative Method. This means we focus on speaking and understanding Italian in real, everyday situations. From the very beginning, you will learn Italian by actively using it. Our lessons will take place almost entirely in Italian. If you’re a beginner, we can use a little English at first, but the goal is to build your confidence so you can speak naturally and comfortably. We will also work on grammar, pronunciation, reading, listening, and writing, according to your needs.

I have experience teaching all ages and levels: from primary school children to professionals, in companies, language centres, and public schools. I’m also very comfortable teaching online, and I use shared drives, digital materials, and interactive tools to make the lessons clear, organised, and enjoyable. I provide all useful digital resources, but you’re welcome to use a physical textbook if you prefer.

If you’re passionate about travelling to Italy, planning to relocate, working with Italian clients, or simply fascinated by the language, I can help you learn and enjoy Italian!

I am Italian expat in Utrecht. I moved from Italy for work. I have always done art and written poems, and I have big passion for cooking. Now I work in horeca. I have experience teaching and explaining concepts, and I am very good at making people feel comfortable regardless of their level of preparation or if they make a mistake - I like to build.

I create a welcoming environment to practice your Italian conversation skills. I am very fun so we will laugh for sure a lot while talking. We can talk about italian songs, art, poems, and food. For everyone that needs to practice conversation in Italian or needs to understand better the culture for work. Also available for beginners, we can practice essential expressions before you go on your holiday even if you start from zero.

General English: I design the English course based on your personal needs, interests, and motivations. Based on your profile and existing level of English, the course would focus on a specific combination of grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

English for academic purposes: This course would cover the key aspects of English needed in higher education and academic contexts. In addition to grammar and vocabulary, the course trains the key receptive and productive skills needed in higher education. Receptive skills involve reading and listening to academic texts. Productive skills involve writing and speaking for academic purposes (e.g., research papers, research proposals, essays, presentations, and others).
