About Me

I teach Italian language to adult students of any level: beginners, advanced and academic.
I'm focused on teaching practical grammar in order to make the students getting familiar with the mechanisms of the language as well as its use in daily life and different contexts. Starting from the specific goals, learning features and time availability of the student, I develop a customized plan based on interactive lessons in which they are challenged with the production as well as the comprehension of texts and speeches.
No books are required: I'm used to prepare the material for the lesson on my own or using different resources selected according to their effectiveness and completeness.

A few moments of jokes and chats are welcome during the lesson!

Insegno italiano a studenti adulti di ogni livello: base, intermedio, avanzato e accademico.
Il mio metodo è centrato sulla grammatica pratica, per consentire allo studente di familiarizzare con i meccanismi della lingua e con il suo uso nella vita quotidiana in differenti contesti.
In base agli specifici obiettivi, stili di apprendimento e disponibilità di tempo dello studente, sviluppo un programma personalizzato basato su lezioni molto interattive che lo stimolino il più possibile a parlare, oltre che a comprendere testi e contesti discorsivi.
Non sono richiesti libri: preparo il materiale per le lezioni io stessa, oppure utilizzo risorse diverse, selezionandole in base alla loro efficacia e completezza.

Momenti di scherzo e chiacchiere durante la lezione sono graditi!

Experience / Qualifications

Main work experience in a no profit organization dealing with assistance of immigrants, refugees and people in need.

In all these positions I've always managed with Communication and training activities.

Several working experiences as web content editor and radio speaker.

A short - but intense - work experience as tennis coach for beginner and intermediate players that gave me valuable cues about the learning experience as an all round envolving experience.

Italian language: basic, intermediate and advanced level

20 € /h

I support people in learning or improving Italian, in a friendly smoothly way. In my work experience I taught Italian to immigrants, refugees, students, professionals as well as poeple who are fond of Italian language and culture. I worked also as tennis coach, that made me the inspiration and the opportunity to look for and develop creative and customized solutions to get people involved in learning while enjoying their challenging activities. After all, learning is a creative process as well as teaching: in order to be effective it must be an all round cognitive experience!
I'm a certified professional in communication and human resources, eager to share my passion for the "life long learning" perspective.

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

- 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.

As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing.

Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing.
We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis.
We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them.
In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!

I have an A2 Baccalaureate, I have worked in several companies and in several places, in particular in Monte-Carlo and Algiers when I was in marketing at ABB. Currently I live between Nice (France) and Milan (Italy) where I give French lessons to Italians who require either academic support or to improve their level in preparation for the DELF or DALF. The first lesson is to assess your level and to know yourself.

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 !!

Hi, I'm Paola and I'm a graduate in Italian Literature and I also have a master's degree in Teaching Italian to Foreigners.
During the university period I gave private lessons to erasmus students in Italy and now I give individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online.
I use a book that I integrate with different materials. Conversation is very important, but so is listening and understanding a text.
The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information.

A presto!

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.

Italian is a very rich language, but sometimes it can be quite complicated to master. Whether your aim is to reach a beginner or an advanced level, I am here to help you. Through conversation, writing, and grammar lessons, you will have the chance to strengthen your Italian skills. The structure of the class can be adapted to better fit your needs and goals, and it can be adjusted as your level increases. So, if you are an absolute beginner, there is no need to worry.

Ciao! I’m a native Italian speaker with international experience, and I truly understand how intimidating it can feel to start from zero to learn a new language, or to want to improve but feel stuck. I’m also passionate about psychology, and I love sharing practical, ready-to-use tips to help you memorise better and learn in a way that feels easier and more natural.

My lessons are relaxed, but efficient and fully tailored to you.

I work with all levels and adapt each lesson to your pace and goals.

Le mie lezioni di italiano online sono pensate per accompagnare studenti di qualsiasi età in un percorso di apprendimento graduale, efficace e stimolante. Ogni lezione nasce dalle esigenze concrete dello studente: che si tratti di imparare le basi, migliorare la fluidità nel parlato o usare l’italiano con più sicurezza nello studio, nel lavoro o nella vita quotidiana.
Durante le lezioni lavoriamo su comprensione, produzione orale e scritta, ampliando il vocabolario e chiarendo la grammatica in modo semplice e pratico. L’attenzione è sempre sulla comunicazione reale, con esempi autentici, dialoghi, esercizi mirati e momenti di conversazione guidata.
Per i più piccoli, l’apprendimento avviene attraverso attività creative e coinvolgenti; per ragazzi e adulti, le lezioni diventano uno spazio dinamico di confronto, pratica e consolidamento. L’obiettivo è creare un ambiente sereno in cui sbagliare è parte del processo e ogni progresso viene valorizzato.
Le lezioni sono online, flessibili e personalizzate, ideali per chi vuole imparare l’italiano in modo naturale, efficace e senza stress.
