Hi! I'm Tanya.
I was born in Italy, but for the last two years of my life I have traveled the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East, traveling and working remotely.
I am a professional teacher with 6 years of experience. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.
I have a degree in languages, I am certified in international law and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language, but also how to learn new languages!
I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!
That's because I love learning new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.
My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language.
My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning.
My classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic.
GROUP LESSONS possible!
See you soon! :-)

Need help with passing the civic integration exam abroad?

For whom do we give the Dutch course?

Family reunification or have you recently married and do you want to apply for an MVV or a residence visa to the Netherlands for your partner? In that case, passing the basic civic integration exam is a mandatory part.

We offer Dutch language courses in Marrakech throughout the year, both in group lessons and individual lessons. The purpose of these language lessons is to prepare the student(s) as well as possible for the basic civic integration exam.

Through years of experience and the knowledge we have about the integration exam, we know exactly what knowledge we need to transfer to our students. Here, the chance is very high that the student will pass the exam in one go.

Learning the Dutch language is not easy. Certainly not for someone for whom the Dutch language is completely new. The state exam that must be taken at the Dutch embassy in Rabat requires an A1 level. An average student achieves this level within 3 months.

Thanks to years of expertise and knowledge about the basic civic integration exam, we can already achieve the desired level in a crash course of seven weeks.

Depending on the level of the student and whether it concerns group lessons or individual lessons. Online lessons are also possible. This makes it possible to provide students throughout Morocco with a Dutch integration course. We also provide a 100% success guarantee for our online integration courses.

The Civic Integration Exam consists of three exam components.

The candidate can choose to take all three exam components simultaneously on the same day. Separate from each other is also possible. The three parts are therefore independent of each other. Therefore, if you do not pass one of the three exam components, you do not have to retake the entire exam and you can retake the separate component separately.

The three integration exam components are taken on a computer, also pay attention to this during the integration course.

- KNS (knowledge of Dutch society)
- Read
- To speak

In addition to giving language lessons up to A1 level, we also provide information and lessons about Dutch society. On the basis of a photo book, the students receive exactly the information and knowledge they need to pass the KNS component.

What can you expect from the Civic Integration Course?

- High pass rate guarantee
- Free Teaching Material
- One on one guidance
- Custom integration course
- Choice of group lessons or individual lessons
- Lessons are given both during the day and evening
- Experienced and well-trained teachers
- Support and assistance with applying for the basic civic integration exam.

Ciao! I am a native Italian and English speaker and I have been teaching teenagers and adults in the last ten years. A History, Cultural Heritage and Chemistry graduate, I am especially passionate about linguistics and different cultures!

Our conversation lessons will help you learn and practice your Italian, whether you are a beginner or want to perfect the language. Topics will be tailored to your needs and can range from basic scenarios to more specific ones (professional, travel or cultural context). When necessary we can focus on specific grammar rules and expand vocabulary that is more important to you.

Approach - I always encourage the student to develop a personal connection to the language by exploring personal interests and real-life language use. In my lessons, I favour a flexible approach and encourage regular practice, which will definitely help you to develop your Italian and keep it active in the long run.

Joseph Moruzzi is a saxophonist originally from the United States and is currently residing in the Netherlands. The main focus of Joseph’s work as a musician is on classical and contemporary repertoire, which includes transcriptions of forgotten works, theatrical music, and new compositions written for the saxophone. Joseph has earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York as well as a Master of Music degree from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

As a teacher, I enjoy going through fundamentals when teaching the saxophone, whether that is technique, posture, or musicality. I make sure students are learning technique while playing pieces that they are interested in themselves, having a balance in the lessons. I also enjoy teaching various etudes or repertoire for the saxophone, giving the student a deeper understanding of the saxophone's history and versatility.

I am open to teaching in-person, but if virtual lessons are more convenient then thats is also possible. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

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!
