Speak Italian confidently with a native qualified teacher! Direct communicative approach

Van 51.17 $ /h

Hi there! My name is Altea. I’m a qualified and experienced teacher with over eight years of experience teaching students of all ages, levels, and backgrounds.
I’m a native Italian speaker, and I lived in the UK for eight years, where I taught Italian in individual, group, and online lessons. I have supported students preparing for A-Level Italian, professionals working with the Italian market, and people planning to travel or move to Italy.

I teach Italian (and English) using the Direct Communicative Method. This means we focus on speaking and understanding Italian in real, everyday situations. From the very beginning, you will learn Italian by actively using it. Our lessons will take place almost entirely in Italian. If you’re a beginner, we can use a little English at first, but the goal is to build your confidence so you can speak naturally and comfortably. We will also work on grammar, pronunciation, reading, listening, and writing, according to your needs.

I have experience teaching all ages and levels: from primary school children to professionals, in companies, language centres, and public schools. I’m also very comfortable teaching online, and I use shared drives, digital materials, and interactive tools to make the lessons clear, organised, and enjoyable. I provide all useful digital resources, but you’re welcome to use a physical textbook if you prefer.

If you’re passionate about travelling to Italy, planning to relocate, working with Italian clients, or simply fascinated by the language, I can help you learn and enjoy Italian!

Ciao! I’m Altea, a qualified language teacher with over eight years of experience working with students of all ages, levels, and backgrounds. I’m a native Italian speaker and I lived in the UK for eight years, where I taught both Italian and English in individual, group, and online settings.

My teaching style is warm, patient, and highly communicative. I use the Direct Communicative Method, which means you will learn the language by using it in real situations from the very beginning. I create lessons that are practical, engaging, and tailored to your goals—whether you want to travel to Italy, relocate, prepare for exams, or use Italian in a professional context.

I’ve taught in language centres, companies, public schools, and online, and I’m very comfortable designing lessons that are clear, structured, and enjoyable. I also provide all digital materials and use shared drives and interactive tools to support your learning.

I love working with motivated students and helping them feel confident speaking Italian naturally and comfortably. If you're passionate about Italy, curious about the language, or need Italian for work or study, I’d be happy to guide you step by step!

Depending on your proficiency level and goals, we will decide together the kind of class that works best for you. Whether you would like to focus on conversation, or you'd rather have some help learn with a language book, I am here to guide your learning process. I have experience with both structured as well as spontaneous students, so don't be afraid to express how you like to learn. I'll do my best to support you in a way that makes sense to you!

Since I was trilingual at the age of three, language learning and teaching have been always in my personality. Makes us indeed very open-minded. I also give attention to the cultural aspect while training you to speak the language. I am willing to teach you either of the languages
a) GERMAN
b) ITALIAN
c) HINDI
d) MARATHI
I will also tell you the secrets of how to become a polyglot, and how your brain can develop this awesome habit of learning languages.

Ben je net met het Italiaans begonnen? Of ben je al ervaren en wil je de taal beheersen? Of heb je een Italiaanse partner en wil je graag met hem/haar in het Italiaans kunnen praten? Of nog, heb je een officiele taaltentamen? Ik weet zeker dat ik de juiste leraar voor jou zal zijn.

ENGLISH:

Are you just starting with Italian and do you want to speed up the process? Are you already experienced and do you want to master the language even better? Or do you have an Italian partner and you would love to be able to speak with them in their language? Or do you perhaps have to pass an official language exam? I am sure I will be the right tutor for you.

PLEASE NOTE, THE BOOKING SCHEDULE IS NOT ADJUSTED. WE SHALL ORGANIZE THE TIME OF THE LESSONS TOGETHER VIA MESSAGES.

Ciao a tutti e benvenuti!
I am Celeste, private Italian teacher living in Amsterdam.
With me you will be proactively involved through the learning process so we will have nice conversations about a topic that we will choose together : it could be art, music, cinema, sport, nature, food or whatever you like the most!
I will also organize some activities both indoor and outdoor to do together where you will test your Italian. (not now with the corona but as soon as possible)
Of course, during our talks I will give you grammar tips and vocabulary focus.
I will provide you the needed material.
Lessons are both online and in person.
Ci vediamo presto!

Hello everyone! I hold a doctorate in Italian, have been teaching Italian for 5 years and hold a CELTA teaching qualification. I've been preparing students for the A-Levels and GCSE (language + literature). I can prepare you for specific examinations, language lessons in general or teach you Italian for business. The lessons are for everyone, whatever their age or level (children to adults). I will make sure that you discover the Italian culture through the lessons, learn the correct pronunciation and of course learn some grammar. I am open to your needs and can speak a few languages to make sure you understand fully the lessons (of course, we’ll try to use mostly Italian in all our lessons depending on your level).

I can’t wait to meet my new students! 😊

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!

Hi! I'm Tanya.
I was born in Italy, but I have spent the last two years of my life traveling the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East and Central Asia, traveling and working remotely.

I am a professional teacher with 7 years of experience. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, and panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.
I have a language degree, I am certified in international law, and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language but also how to learn new languages!
I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!
That's because I like learning new languages! That's why, after years of studying, I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and devised a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.
My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience, I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language. My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning.
My lessons are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic.
GROUP LESSONS possible!
See you soon! :-)

I have several years of experience in the field of research, specifically in biomolecular biology. I am deeply passionate about science and I enjoy transmitting this knowledge to younger students who are curious to get more insight or better understand the mechanisms of life.

In my lesson, I can help you to understand the most basic biological mechanism that regulates the cell cycle and provide more in-depth information regarding cancer and immunology, my field of specialization. My aim is not only to make biology easy but provide also support for writing a thesis, preparing a presentation, understanding how to properly structure a project, and acquiring the ability to interpret and discuss big data.
