Speak Italian with Ease! Italian Lessons from a Native Teacher

From 29 € /h

Hello there! I'm Valentina I am Italian born and raised in the charming city of Salerno, Italy. My academic journey led me to graduate at the University of Salerno, where I completed both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in "Modern Languages and Literatures" (Europeans and Americans) specialising in English and German language.

One of the highlights of my educational experience was the 6-month period in Germany, Bonn for my Erasmus programme, where I immersed myself in a new language and culture, broadening my perspective on the world.

Proficient in my native Italian and fluent in English, I've been sharing my passion for languages as a certified English tutor for the past three years. Teaching is not just a profession for me; it's a way to connect with people, delve into diverse cultures, and share the beauty of language.
That's the reason why I am so happy to teach Italian in English or any other language you wish me to teach.
I design my classes according to the level of the students and the objectives. My classes with include speaking, reading, vocabulary, listening activities but also fun activities like games and role playing.

Beyond the classroom, I am a multifaceted individual with a love for sports, a voracious reader, and a perpetual student always eager to learn. Dancing is one of my passions, providing a creative outlet for self-expression. I find joy in exploring new languages, and my travels have been a continuous source of inspiration, allowing me to blend my interests seamlessly.

Speak English with Confidence — English Lessons with a Qualified Teacher

25 € /h

My name is Valentina and I'm originally from Salerno. I obtained a master's degree in Modern Languages and Literatures, specializing in English and German. During my academic career, I had the opportunity to participate in the Erasmus program at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn in Germany, enriching my study experience and my understanding of foreign languages.

My passion for languages began during the linguistic high school, where I also studied French and Spanish. During that time, I spent three weeks in Dublin for a total immersion experience in the English language.

Currently, I am involved in teaching English at a parity high school. This experience allows me to put my knowledge of foreign languages into practice and to share my passion for learning with children. I am a lively, sweet and sensitive person, and I like to be a reference model not only in teaching, but also in everyday life.
Being in contact with young people is for me an opportunity to inspire and guide them not only in the field of languages, but also in personal growth. I am convinced that language learning goes beyond mere grammatical knowledge and that it can contribute significantly to the development of people who are aware and open to the world.
If you are looking for a passionate and engaging teacher to improve your language skills, you are in the right place! My lessons are not only based on grammar, but also aim to grow students as conscious and open individuals to the world.

- 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.

👋🏼 Hello! I'm Francesca. Do you want to learn or improve your Italian?
No problem, more than 300 students have studied with me and learned while having fun. I started teaching at 19 thanks to the director of my high school and I have more than 15 years of experience, in Italy and abroad, all over the world thanks to the internet.
I offer online Italian courses for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, i.e., C2. I always have quality reference books to recommend to students.
My classes are highly personalized and tailored to the specific needs of each student. I guarantee quality because I put a lot of passion and care into everything I do, trying not to overlook the details.

🚀 During the lessons, I will help you learn the basics of general Italian, paying attention to pronunciation and intonation while reading. I am always attentive to the needs of the students and ready to tailor my lessons. My lessons are an investment for the present and the future because they are prepared with passion, a lot of experience, and dedication 🧡.

🌟 If you are a beginner, don't worry because I take great care to make you feel comfortable.

➡️ I work on different levels: conversation on different topics, grammar, reading, writing, dictation and games (role-playing games in which the student can test himself by communicating in a natural and practical way with the teacher, as in real life).
In addition, preparation for official language certificates (CELI, CILS, PLIDA), the Swiss maturity exam, apprenticeship as a commercial employee CFC and tailor-made courses in a certain professional field.
➡️ All levels: A1-C2

Do you love Italy and would love to travel there? Would like to know more about the culture? My lessons are personalized to your needs and I make sure you don't get overwhelmed by the language, but enjoy the process of learning it! I always add a cultural element to my classes, so it's not just learning grammar, but learning how Italian people actually think and live.
Depending on your preference, I can teach the class fully in Italian or using English or Japanese when necessary.

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!

I am Italian but I also speak fluent French and English. I learned French at the age of four in nursery school and English from the age of six. I completed my university studies in London (Bachelor's and Master's degrees). I have experience teaching these languages to high school students and adults. My approach is very dynamic; I structure my lessons with theory, grammar, exercises, and verbal practice. I offer lessons online or at my office.

I am Italian but I also speak French and English fluently. I started learning French at the age of 4 in nursery school and English at school from age 6. I have completed my university's studies in London (bachelor+master). I already taught these languages to students from high school as well as to adults. My approach to the lessons is very dynamic: I explain the theory and the grammar, we then solve exercises and finally we spend time practicing conversation. I give classes online or at my office.

Sono italiana my parlo molto bene anche il francese e l'inglese. Ho learn French from 4 years old and learn English from 6 years old. Complete my university studies in Londra (bachelor+master). Ho già insegnato queste lingue a studenti del liceo e ad adulti. My understanding of the lesson is dynamic: first of all, it looks at the theory and the grammar, so you can learn it and end up practicing the conversation. My information is available online or at my office.

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 one of the most beautiful language in the whole world; and what’s better than learning it from an Italian girl without having to move from your couch? Absolutely nothing. I’m Lara and I’m a 23 years old student in Paris. I’d love to introduce you to this language via webcam online.
I speak English very fluently as well and I’m also nice and used to be around children, if you need lessons for your younger son or daughter.

I offer Italian lessons for adults using a specific, very lively and effective method that will allow you to understand, read books in Italian, watch films in the original version and above all to express yourself quickly, with a solid grammatical foundation, in everyday life, but also to have rich conversations with your interlocutors.
Possibility of face-to-face or video lessons, at your convenience, knowing that my video lessons are just as interactive and lively as in person.

I offer personalized Italian lessons, designed to meet the needs, goals, and level of each student. Each lesson is structured to ensure effective and dynamic learning: we begin with a review of previous lessons, followed by vocabulary and grammar explanations with specific exercises, and conclude with reading and listening comprehension activities. Lessons are short and designed to help students gain confidence, fluency, and motivation.
