Von 21.69 € /Std

Hi! I’m Caterina, a native Italian tutor with a degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures. I’ve spent several years abroad, speaking English and French, and I love helping students learn Italian in a natural and engaging way.

My lessons focus on real-life conversation, vocabulary, listening, and pronunciation, and are always tailored to each student’s goals. I believe learning a language shouldn’t be stressful, it can be fun and motivating.

I work especially well with adults and seniors who want to improve their Italian for work, travel, or personal growth, and with students who want to feel confident speaking without fear of mistakes.

The course in Italian, divided into several sections between phonetics, grammar, and vocabulary, aims to provide students with the basics of every day Italian, ensuring them a good command of the essential vocabulary, useful to support both the conversation, understand written Italian and knowing how to write texts in this language.

Hello everyone,

after successfully obtaining my French Baccalauréat and a Bachelor's Degree in Cinema (Licence) with High Honors, I am currently working at the Institut Français in Duesseldorf, where I did a seminar to become examiner for the French DELF tests. I also work with schools and promote this language to a young public, and therefore developed a high pedagogical quality during this last year.

I am therefore ready to help you in all your needs with this language, which can be quite tough sometimes (think about pronounciation and exceptions to the rules), and which I struggled myself to learn before obtaining a high professional level.

I can prepare you with strategies to understand the structure of the national test and help you successfully pass it, but I can also encourage you to "unblock" your language skills with chill conversation sessions, or more rigorous grammar explanation, while sharing with my suggestions to embrace this enriching culture (be it with films, books, music or art).

Looking forward to help you enjoy - and master - French!
à plus,

Kaoru

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.

Ciao a tutti!

My name is Chiara and I'm a qualified italian teacher for foreigners with a DITALS certification taken by the school "Leonardo da Vinci" in Florence. After having passed my exam, I have done an internship in the same school and then I have worked here for a while. During this experience, I had the possibility to work with people from all around the world offering them classes that matched their desires: from A1 to B2. Therefore, more than once I have helped my students to pass the CILS exam, in order to achieve the Italian citizenship. Right now, I'm located in Vienna, but I can offer the lessons also online, of course. Lessons will be prepared based on the students' wishes and objectives. I am really looking forward to meeting you and discovering the fascinating world of the Italian language together :)

In this Spanish class, learners will build confidence through interactive speaking activities, practical vocabulary, and real-life communication scenarios. Each session focuses on helping you express yourself naturally while improving pronunciation, listening skills, and grammar in a simple, enjoyable way. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to strengthen your foundation, my classes offer a supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace and start speaking Spanish from day one.

Hi! I'm here to help you move beyond the textbook and genuinely speak Italian, French, or English.
I focus on practical, communicative fluency. My goal isn't just to teach you rules; it's to get you using the language confidently in real-world scenarios, whether you're traveling, working, or just connecting with new people.

My lessons are fully customized to you, no matter your age or current level. I enjoy working with everyone, from young students just starting out to adults pursuing professional fluency. We won't just study grammar; we will dive into conversational practice and focus heavily on natural pronunciation and the correct flow of speech used by native speakers. This hands-on method ensures that everything we learn is immediately useful.

I'm excited to share my passion for these languages and help you achieve your fluency goals.

Der Fremdsprachenunterricht wird individuell an die Bedürfnisse des Schülers angepasst.
Es werden Grammatik, Leseverstehen, Textproduktion sowie mündliche Kommunikation angeboten.
Mein Unterricht zeichnet sich durch eine persönliche und strukturierte Herangehensweise aus, die exakt auf deine individuellen Ziele abgestimmt wird.

Was im Unterricht erwartet wurde:

Gezieltes Grammatiktraining: Komplexe Regeln einfach erklärt und direkt angewendet.

Leseverstehen & Textproduktion: Wir arbeiten mit authentischen Texten und verbessern deinen schriftlichen Ausdruck.

Mündliche Kommunikation: Mein Fokus liegt darauf, deine Hemmungen beim Sprechen abzubauen. Durch meine 3,5 Jahre in Italien und mein Studium vermittle ich dir nicht nur Vokabeln, sondern auch das Besondere des Gefühls für die Sprache und Kulturen.

Prüfungsvorbereitung: Unterstützung bei Hausaufgaben, Klausuren oder Zertifikaten

Methodik: Ich nutze moderne Lehrmaterialien und interaktive Übungen. Da ich selbst als Übersetzerin arbeite, kann ich dir senders präzise Erklärungen zu Nuancen und Redewendungen geben, die in keinem Lehrbuch stehen.

I offer structured and personalized Italian lessons for teenagers, students, and adults. Each lesson is adapted to the learner’s level, objectives, and learning pace, whether the goal is to build a solid foundation, improve grammar and vocabulary, develop speaking confidence, or strengthen Italian for academic, professional, or everyday use.

My teaching approach is clear, progressive, and communicative. Italian grammar is explained in an accessible way, with practical examples and immediate application. Lessons balance listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills, using varied materials such as dialogues, authentic texts, targeted exercises, and real-life situations.

Each session is dynamic, interactive, and focused on concrete progress, while maintaining a supportive and motivating learning environment. My aim is to help learners understand Italian structures clearly and use the language naturally and confidently.

I grew up abroad, studied in English, and have always worked in English-speaking environments. Over the years, I’ve led teams, coached individuals, and offered private sessions on various topics — including conversational English.

In schools, there’s often a strong focus on grammar, which is important, but not enough time is spent just talking. To really improve a language, you need space to speak freely, make mistakes, and have fun — and that’s exactly what I offer.

I can teach in English or Italian, and the sessions are relaxed, empathetic, and fully tailored to you. We can chat about everyday life, hobbies, travel, work — anything you like — and do exercises, reading, listening, or vocabulary practice if you want.

One of my favorite moments was working with my 12- and 13-year-old niece and nephew in Italy. They started off a little shy, but over time their confidence and English improved so much that when we traveled to the US last year, we could all converse easily and have fun with it.

The sessions are fun, stress-free, and flexible — your pace, your topics, your learning. Let’s practice together and enjoy the journey to more confident English (or Italian!) conversation.

I thought of starting this foreign language learning course for those who enjoy learning a new language, or with the aim of reviewing or revisiting arguments or aspects of the language that are not clear.
