I was born and raised in Italy but I lived in the UK for almost 7 years. I started teaching Italian and English in 2015. I worked for private language schools and NATO Defense College in Rome. I teach children and adults, group and private lessons. My lessons are tailored to fit the level and the needs of my students. I always make sure that my students are in a serene environment and enjoy their lessons. I have the DILS-PG and the CELTA certifications to teach both Italian and English as a second language. Also, I have experience in preparing students for international exams such as KET, PET, FIRST.

Meetings and lessons of Italian language and culture.
Learning italian and about Italy is
always an immersion in a millennia-old history, in the art and traditions of the Italian culture, which fascinates us again and again. Language, conversation, preparation for various language certificates...

"Thanks to the mutual dependence of thought and speech, it seems very clear that languages do not really serve to expose the truth already known, but rather to discover the truth that was previously unknown. Their diversity is not a diversity of sounds and signs, but of worldviews." W. Von Humboldt (1820)

Hello everyone! I hold a doctorate in Italian, have been teaching Italian for 5 years and hold a CELTA teaching qualification. I've been preparing students for the A-Levels and GCSE (language + literature). I can prepare you for specific examinations, language lessons in general or teach you Italian for business. The lessons are for everyone, whatever their age or level (children to adults). I will make sure that you discover the Italian culture through the lessons, learn the correct pronunciation and of course learn some grammar. I am open to your needs and can speak a few languages to make sure you understand fully the lessons (of course, we’ll try to use mostly Italian in all our lessons depending on your level).

I can’t wait to meet my new students! 😊

Hi, my name is Agnese and I am Italian. I have more than 10 years of studying the humanities, from high school to master's degree! Over these years, I have developed a personal method of studying these subjects that has proven to be successful. I love studying and this is why I will not end my studies with the master's degree: I want to undertake a doctorate!

I have always combined my studies with teaching support, both at university and privately.

Do you love Italian people, history and food and you would like to speak the language?
Hi everybody! My name is Rosa, and I am an Italian teacher and an engineer. I have a master'degree in teaching Italian as a foreign language. I have several years of teaching experience. I worked also as a schoolteacher!
I lived in Argentina for several years, so I speak Spanish very well (I have a C2 language level).
I love teaching and sharing culture. My classes are fitted for all the levels and organized depending on the students. Online lessons allow you to be more flexible with your time! I give homework exercises, and my lessons are intermixed with grammar, conversation, customs and traditions.
Hope to see you soon!

Hi! I am a seventeen year old Italian student living in Zurich and I offer personal Italian lessons. I lived in Italy for 16 years where I studied until high school. The lessons will be held in Italian and English (I've been studying German for a short time but I can try to speak it); I can teach via video lesson, teach at your home or at my home, you just have to decide which is more convenient for you. I am waiting for you!

1. For Absolute Beginners (Category: Italian, Basic Grammar, Basic Conversation)
Class Title: Italian from Zero: Your First Step!
Description:
Have you always dreamed of speaking Italian? Let's start from zero together! This class is designed for those with no prior knowledge of the language.
We will learn the essential basics in a clear and enjoyable way: how to introduce yourself, order at a café, ask for directions, and use the most important verbs in the present tense.
We will use images, real-life situations, and simple conversations. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—this is the perfect place to do it! My goal is to give you the confidence to express yourself from the very beginning.

2. For Conversation and Fluency (Category: Conversation, Vocabulary, Italian)
Class Title: Let's Talk! Everyday Conversation Lessons
Description:
Do you already know some Italian but are afraid to speak? This class is for you! The goal is to improve your fluency, enrich your vocabulary, and finally overcome the fear of conversing.
We will choose topics that you are passionate about: current affairs, travel, culture, Italian cuisine, or TV series. I will gently correct you and teach you natural idioms to help you sound like a true native speaker.
Grab a cup of coffee (or tea!) and let's practice together in a relaxed atmosphere.

3. For Grammar and Precision (Category: Grammar, Academic Italian, Writing)
Class Title: The Secrets of Italian Grammar: Clear and Stress-Free
Description:
Do the subjunctive mood, reflexive verbs, and prepositions confuse you? This class will transform grammar from an obstacle into a strength.
We will tackle one rule at a time with clear explanations, practical examples, and targeted exercises. Each lesson focuses on a single topic (e.g., "The Subjunctive Today" or "Why do we say 'a me mi'?") for solid and deep learning.
Perfect for students of all levels who want to write and speak with precision and confidence.

My classes offer gentle and personalized support for children with languages, homework, and schoolwork. Lessons are adapted to each child’s age, level, and learning style, helping them build confidence, independence, and a positive relationship with learning.

With a multilingual approach, children are supported in language development as well as in understanding school subjects and completing homework in a calm and encouraging environment. Special attention is given to each child’s individual needs, including support for children on the autism spectrum.

The goal is not only academic progress, but also helping children feel safe, understood, and motivated to learn at their own pace.

Personalised Italian lessons for complete beginners who want to build a strong foundation and start communicating with confidence.

Lessons focus on:

Essential vocabulary and everyday expressions
Basic grammar and sentence structure
Pronunciation and listening
Speaking and real-life communication
Italian for travel, work, university, or everyday life
Interactive activities and technology-based learning
Practical tasks that encourage active participation and confidence

Speaking, interaction, and technology are key elements of the lessons. You will actively use Italian throughout the class through interactive exercises, digital resources, and practical communication activities rather than simply studying rules and memorising vocabulary.

Lessons are structured, interactive, and adapted to your pace, needs, and learning goals. No previous knowledge of Italian is required.

Hi! I’m Giovanni, a native Italian speaker from Puglia and a professional musician. Traveling has taught me to learn about different cultures and truly listen to people—and I bring that same approach to my lessons.

My lessons are designed for English speakers who want to learn Italian in a practical and natural way. We’ll start with real-life conversations on topics that interest you: from daily life to work, from travel to personal interests. I’ll help you speak naturally by suggesting realistic alternatives in spoken Italian, with clear explanations and no pressure.
I’ll tailor the pace to your needs, creating a relaxed and non-judgmental environment. Whether you want to:
- Improve your fluency and pronunciation
- Feel confident when speaking
- Stay in constant contact with the language
you’ll find a flexible, practical, and personalized learning path. Lessons can be regular or occasional, always tailored to your goals.

Together, we’ll turn learning Italian into an authentic, fun, and practical experience, with results starting from the very first lessons.
