Lessons in Italian as a second and foreign language and Italian culture

Von 20 $ /Std

Hello everyone!

My name is Daniela and I'm Italian, living in the city of Turin, in the north of the country.
I'm an Italian teacher. In addition to my native language, I study English, so I know exactly what it feels like to try to express a concept in a language that's not your own. I understand your difficulties and I'm here to help you overcome them with a smile.

Regarding my training, I hold a CEDILS certification for teaching Italian to foreigners and have several years of experience as a tutor, working with students of all ages and levels, from absolute beginners to advanced.
My specialty is Italian for everyday life and conversation. Whether you're starting from scratch or want to perfect the nuances of the language, we'll work together to build your foundation or refine your skills.

In my lessons, you'll find more than just grammar tables and rules to memorize: my method is based on active communication. My goal is to get you speaking from the very first minute!
I love using authentic materials: we'll read newspaper articles together, listen to songs, watch short videos, and simulate real-life situations. I love adapting the material to your interests or needs: if you love cooking, we'll discuss recipes; if you love art, we'll explore Italian masterpieces. I'll tailor each lesson to your personal needs and, above all, your pace, making learning dynamic, fun, and practical.
Learning Italian is a wonderful journey, a path that will open the doors to an incredible culture, and I'm here to accompany you every step of the way.

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.

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.

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.

Learn Italian in a clear, friendly, step-by-step way.

This class is ideal if you’re starting from zero (or you know a few words and want a real foundation). We focus on speaking confidence, useful vocabulary and grammar that actually makes sense.

What you’ll learn:

- Pronunciation & “Italian sound” (so you feel confident speaking)
- Essential grammar (present tense, articles, basic sentence structure)
- Everyday vocabulary + practical phrases
- Short dialogues and role-plays (real situations)
- Listening practice and speaking flow

How lessons work:

- Quick level check + your goal (travel, daily life, work, personal interest)
- Structured lessons with simple explanations and lots of guided practice
- Personalized materials + optional homework (if you want faster progress)

Online lessons via Zoom/Teams/Google Meet.

I am pleased to present my Italian language course, designed for learners of all ages and all proficiency levels. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced speaker looking to refine your skills, this course adapts to your individual needs and goals.

The course can be taught entirely in Italian or in English, depending on your preference and level. This flexibility allows students to feel comfortable from the very beginning while gradually building confidence in using Italian independently.

My teaching approach is based on modern language acquisition principles. Research shows that languages are learned most effectively through active use, meaningful interaction, and consistent exposure. For this reason, each lesson is structured to balance input (listening and reading) with output (speaking and writing), ensuring steady and natural progress.

A typical lesson includes:
• A short introduction to new vocabulary or grammar structures
• Guided exercises to practice comprehension
• Interactive activities such as dialogues, role-plays, and real-life scenarios
• Extensive speaking practice, because speaking is essential to truly mastering a language
• Review and feedback to consolidate learning

There is a strong focus on practical communication. Students engage in many exercises and especially in spoken interaction, as speaking regularly is key to building fluency, confidence, and spontaneity.

Lessons are tailored to each student’s age, interests, and objectives. Whether working with children, teenagers, or adults, I adapt the materials and pace to create a motivating and supportive learning environment.

Whether you need Italian for work, for school, or simply because you are passionate about learning the language, this course is the right choice for you and will help you achieve your goal.
