Italian for all levels - Reading, Grammar, Vocabulary, Professional Writing, Creative Writing, Tutoring, and Study Support

From 59.1 € /h

I recently earned a PhD in Italian Studies from the University of Lausanne, a joint degree with Ca' Foscari University of Venice.
I worked as a graduate assistant at the University of Lausanne for three years, where I taught several university courses on the history of the Italian language, diachronic linguistics, and dialectology. I also taught a professional academic writing course: Italian Language and Linguistics: Written Expression.
I am about to obtain the FSEA 1 certificate for teaching adults and have enrolled in courses to obtain the FIDE certificate, because I would love to teach Italian to migrants.

I would like to teach Italian at all levels (adults, teenagers, and children), but I am also available to provide academic support or tutoring (in various subjects depending on the level).

About Me

Ho da poco conseguito un Dottorato in Italianistica presso l'Università di Losanna, in co-tutela con l'Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia.
Ho lavorato come Assistante diplômée all'Unil per tre anni, dove ho tenuto diverse lezioni universitarie di storia della lingua italiana, linguistica diacronica e dialettologia. Ho tenuto inoltre un corso di scrittura accademica professionale: Lingua e linguistica italiana: espressione scritta.
Sto per conseguire il certificato FSEA 1 per l'insegnamento agli adulti e mi sono iscritta a dei corsi per ottenere il certificato FIDE, perché mi piacerebbe molto poter insegnare l'italiano ai migranti.

Mi piacerebbe insegnare l'italiano a tutti i livelli (adulti, ragazzi e bambini), ma sono disponibile a dare anche sostegno scolastico o ripetizioni (in diverse materie a seconda del livello).

Hello, I'm Aleksandra, a law student at the University of Fribourg. I'm available to teach Italian, Russian, German, and French.

I have extensive experience teaching, having worked with students and adults of all ages for four years, so I'm very knowledgeable about teaching. Thanks to my studies, I've also refined many note-taking and memory techniques. Furthermore, as a mill worker at several camps, I'm also very good at teaching elementary, middle, and high school children.

Over the past year, I've given many private and group lessons, including online, so I've gained a lot of experience teaching remotely. Since I have very young siblings, I'm also very familiar with the school curriculum.

Methodology
My teaching method is based on textbooks, supplementing my explanations with other textbooks, such as those used to prepare for the Goethe test or various grammar books.

She is an 18-year-old girl who attends a language high school and whose native language is Italian and Spanish.
I have always had a great aptitude for languages, which has also yielded results in languages that don't sound natural in my first language, such as French and English.
The ragazzi and ragazze are a great aspiration which also passes through an adolescent, who thinks he is able to look at the subject in a more interactive way and not so frontal and monotonous.

Ciao! My name is Valentina and I am passionate about teaching the beautiful Italian language. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to improve your skills, I offer a personalized, immersive learning experience tailored to your needs. My approach adapts to the individual learning style of each student, making sure you progress at a pace that's comfortable for you.I hold the prestigious DITALS certification (Certification in Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language), which is internationally recognized. With years of experience, I use interactive methods, multimedia tools, and real-world content to make learning engaging and practical. I also integrate Italian culture to enrich the learning experience.

Learning a language should feel exciting, motivating, and personal — not stressful.
In this class, you’ll learn English or Italian in a simple, friendly, and interactive way. Together, we will focus on real communication, useful vocabulary, pronunciation, and conversation based on your goals.

Whether you’re a beginner who wants strong foundations, a student preparing for school exams, or someone who wants to improve speaking skills for travel or work, this course adapts to you.

Using fun activities, personalized exercises, role-plays, and everyday topics, you will gain confidence and improve step by step. My goal is to make learning enjoyable, clear, and rewarding — because progress feels amazing when the lesson fits your needs.

By the end of the course, you will feel more confident speaking, writing, and understanding the language in real-life situations.

My online Italian lessons are designed to guide students of all ages on a gradual, effective, and stimulating learning journey. Each lesson is tailored to the student's specific needs: whether learning the basics, improving speaking fluency, or using Italian more confidently for study, work, or everyday life.
During lessons, we work on comprehension, speaking, and writing, expanding vocabulary and clarifying grammar in a simple and practical way. The focus is always on real-world communication, with authentic examples, dialogues, targeted exercises, and guided conversation sessions.
For younger students, learning occurs through creative and engaging activities; for teens and adults, lessons become a dynamic space for discussion, practice, and consolidation. The goal is to create a peaceful environment where making mistakes is part of the process and every progress is valued.
Lessons are online, flexible, and personalized, ideal for those who want to learn Italian naturally, effectively, and stress-free.

Classes are well structured including all the students needs and requests. Individual approach and entertainment teaching methodology. Motivation and inspiration. Languages certificates. Business language. Speaking and writing with real daily situations.
