Italian course for all levels by experienced teacher who speaks also Dutch, French, English, German and Swedish.

35 € /h

Ciao! Salve! I am Dutch, lived in Rome for more than 30 years and now I live in a small village in Sweden. I love Italy, its culture and language, and this resulted in a Master in Italian (and a Bachelor in French). Before I moved to Sweden I travelled with my former husband throughout the world. We lived in Australia, USA and in Europe speaking all their different languages. So, languages are a kind of “my thing”.
With me you can learn Italian at all levels; from your first approach to the most advanced. I like to give you tailor-fit lessons, which I will prepare in advance. Afterwards I will give you direct personal feed-back like transcripts of our conversation which could be of help for your further learning. I care mostly about speaking and learning the Italian culture, but also about right grammar use and vocabulary.
I’m looking forward to teaching you Italian and with the help of my patience and encouragements I’m confident you will enjoy it and learn a lot.

Some Reviews:
Chevaan:
Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

👋🏼 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

The methodology chosen for my private lessons adapts to the specific needs of the student, from the youngest (learning to read) to the most experienced: preparation for an exam, a trip abroad, a reorientation professional, ... the courses can vary from a conversation table to a more academic structure emphasizing grammar, conjugation and vocabulary, or still be based on the theme of a particular professional sector.

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 !!

Teaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

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.

I am a primary school teacher and can help with all language subjects, for both adults and children: Reading Comprehension, Language, Spelling, Reading, Vocabulary, English.

Based on your wishes I create my lessons, so that you gain self-confidence step by step in what you (still) find difficult. With games, puzzles, explanations, conversations and practice you will improve a little bit every day.

If you want to learn or improve your Dutch, we can work on that too. I live in France myself and know how difficult and enjoyable it is to learn another language.

My name is Ron, a dedicated Dutch tutor based in Suriname. Originally trained as an HVAC engineer with the intention of continuing my father’s legacy, I transitioned into teaching during the pandemic after discovering my passion for language education. This shift allowed me to embrace remote work while connecting with learners globally. With a friendly and adaptable approach, I prioritize creating engaging, personalized lessons that foster confidence in conversational Dutch. Outside of teaching, I take pride in my family life as a happily married professional who finds fulfillment in helping others achieve their language goals.

Moving to Sweden or planning to?

I help expats and language learners learn Swedish in a practical, real-life way. I’ve worked with students of all ages, levels, and learning styles. I can quickly identify knowledge gaps and help students overcome them with practical strategies, clear explanations, and engaging materials.

As a native Swede with 20+ years of teaching experience, I’ll help you:
✅ Speak from your first lessons
✅ Understand how Swedish really works
✅ Learn useful everyday expressions
✅ Gain confidence quickly

💬How do I teach?
My lessons are friendly, structured, and tailored to your needs—whether you're a complete beginner or looking to polish your fluency. Along the way, I’ll also teach you about the Swedish culture, way of thinking, idioms and everything in between.

In short, you will learn:
✅ Swedish culture & mindset
✅ Natural expressions and pronunciation
✅ How people actually speak

🌍What can you expect?
Our first lesson will be all about you - your goals, your challenges, and how you like to learn. Based on that, I’ll build a personalised lesson plan that suits your learning style.

Are you:
✅ An expat living in Sweden?
✅ A complete beginner?
✅ Tired of just learning theory?

Then let’s make learning Swedish something you look forward to!

Book your first lesson and start — or continue — on your language learning journey! And if you have any questions or doubts, don’t hesitate to send me a message; I’ll be more than happy to help!

I can help you learn Chinese. I passed my VWO Chinese exam with a perfect score of 10. I can also help you with Chinese literature.
I have been teaching Chinese for years as a hobby alongside my studies.
I guided a student from A1 to B2 level within two months. He is now studying in China.

I am an enthusiastic traveler and have been to Fuzhou, Yunnan, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Beijing, among others. I can give you tips and recommendations for traveling through China: from food and culture to transportation and hidden spots you won't find in every travel guide.

Do you want to learn Chinese because you want to travel to China? I can help you with that too — with useful basic phrases, pronunciation, cultural differences, and practical words you really need during your trip.

Dutch can sometimes be difficult: grammar, spelling, reading comprehension, summarizing, or writing good texts. In these tutoring sessions, I help students step by step to become stronger and more confident in the subject of Dutch.

The lessons are practical, clear, and tailored to the student's level and goals. Together, we work on grammar, vocabulary, spelling, writing skills, speaking skills, and reading comprehension. In addition, I pay attention to study skills, so that students not only achieve better grades but also learn to work more independently.

I use many examples, exercises, and active assignments to make the material understandable and applicable. Whether it concerns VMBO, HAVO, VWO, NT2, or general language proficiency: the lessons are tailored to what the student needs.

My goal is not only to understand Dutch better, but also to develop more enjoyment and confidence in language.
