German, Italian and Hebrew classes by an expert (Ph.D.)!

From 42.59 € /h

I am a German, Italian, Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic teacher with a wide international experience. I worked in Italy, Germany, Austria, and since 2018 I have lived and worked in the UK (Edinburgh).
I offer classes both for *individuals* (one-to-one tuition) and for *groups*.
It does not really matter whether you are a complete beginner or have studied the language before, my classes will be the perfect fit! As each person learns in her/his own way, I provide tailored lesson plans to meet your individual needs. I work at your own pace, targeting your desires and problem areas. You will get homework only if you want to.

The first lesson normally is a quick assessment of your existing knowledge. Through chatting and showing you a couple of pictures/games, I can easily infer which level you are at. This process is very useful (and, believe me, it does not hurt! So, do not panic!) because it allows me to draft a learning plan, setting some *milestones* you can/will achieve (which will be reviewed regularly). They encourage and motivate you, and work as a stimulus to do your best in a very effective and productive way. You will be getting constructive feedback from me and we will be working towards your goals together.

About Me

Now some information about myself. Italian is my mother tongue. I studied Linguistics, Glottology, and Italian Grammar in Rome. Moreover, I have native proficiency in German, as I lived and studied in two German-speaking countries (Germany and Austria) for 13 years. In my past life as a scholar and lecturer, I used to teach Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic, as well as Biblical and Rabbinical Studies, in Heidelberg and Vienna.
Since 2018 I have been a professional language teacher at all levels, and I have been teaching in three language schools in Edinburgh.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

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!

Hello everybody! My name is Isabelle and I have been a French teacher for several years. 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.
Please feel free to contact me for anything.
Thank you and see you soon! Isabelle

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 !!

A graduate in Germanic languages, I have been a secondary school English/German teacher since 2021 and a private tutor since 2017. I also coordinate language camps and ONE centers and offer private German lessons. Whether you need academic support, are looking to meet professional challenges, want to start learning German from scratch, want to improve your skills, focus on grammar, speaking, or have other goals, I am available.
I offer lessons, but my main goal is to empower you to learn German, and languages in general, independently. I don't aim for the level of success you think you're in, but rather the excellence you allow yourself to achieve. My ultimate aim: that you no longer need me.
Each lesson is prepared in advance. I never arrive empty-handed.

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.

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.
