Learn Italian with a native speaker – simple and personalized lessons

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 52.11 € /h

I am a native Italian speaker and I offer Italian lessons for beginner to intermediate levels.
I am not a professional teacher, but I have developed solid pedagogical experience through my work with children, university students, and in training detention officers. This experience has taught me to adapt my explanations, structure learning, and support each person at their own pace.

My lessons are simple, accessible, and focused on real-life communication. We'll work on pronunciation, everyday vocabulary, grammar basics, and useful expressions for traveling, living, or working in an Italian-speaking environment. I use clear explanations, practical activities, and personalized exercises to make learning effective and enjoyable.

Whether you are discovering Italian for the first time or wish to consolidate your knowledge, I will support you in a caring, motivating environment tailored to your objectives.

About Me

Je m’appelle Valentina et je suis suissesse italophone, grandie au Tessin. Grâce à mon parcours personnel et professionnel, j’ai évolué dans un environnement multilingue depuis toujours : italien, français, anglais et allemand font partie de mon quotidien. Je souhaite mettre à profit ce multilinguisme pour accompagner des élèves et des adultes dans leurs apprentissages, notamment en langues ou dans des matières nécessitant un soutien structuré.

De formation scientifique (sciences forensiques), j’ai travaillé plusieurs années dans le domaine académique, ce qui m’a permis de développer une méthode de travail rigoureuse, claire et orientée vers la compréhension. J’ai également une expérience en tant qu’interprète judiciaire, ce qui renforce ma maîtrise précise des langues et des nuances culturelles.

Au fil des années, j’ai encadré des adolescents en tant que monitrice et accompagné des étudiants universitaires dans leurs travaux, ce qui m’a donné une solide base pédagogique : écoute, adaptation au rythme de chacun, structuration des étapes d’apprentissage et création d’un climat de confiance.

J’offre des cours personnalisés, en ligne ou en présentiel selon les possibilités, avec l’objectif de rendre l’apprentissage accessible, motivant et adapté aux besoins individuels.

French for Italian speakers – Beginners to intermediate

52.11 € /h

I offer French (FLE) courses for Italian-speaking adults as well as academic support for students from primary to secondary school.
Born in Italy and perfectly integrated into a French-speaking context, I explain grammar and vocabulary in a simple way, with parallels between Italian and French when it facilitates understanding.
My lessons are tailored to each student's level, pace, and goals: refresher courses, improved speaking skills, understanding basic grammar, exam preparation, homework help, or reinforcing existing knowledge. I use a practical and progressive approach, with targeted exercises, guided conversation, and a variety of learning materials.
Thanks to my experience in educational support (children, university students and adults in vocational training), I offer a caring, structured and motivating learning environment.

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living between Pisa and Rome. I have 10 years of teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests, and availability of the student. I can offer students private accommodation in Pisa, a comfortable private apartment in the historic center of the city, a short walk from my home.

- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and putting the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course, and for each lesson, I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also, the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

Do you love Italy and would love to travel there? Would like to know more about the culture? My lessons are personalized to your needs and I make sure you don't get overwhelmed by the language, but enjoy the process of learning it! I always add a cultural element to my classes, so it's not just learning grammar, but learning how Italian people actually think and live.
Depending on your preference, I can teach the class fully in Italian or using English or Japanese when necessary.

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 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 !!

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!

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.

I offer Italian lessons for adults using a specific, very lively and effective method that will allow you to understand, read books in Italian, watch films in the original version and above all to express yourself quickly, with a solid grammatical foundation, in everyday life, but also to have rich conversations with your interlocutors.
Possibility of face-to-face or video lessons, at your convenience, knowing that my video lessons are just as interactive and lively as in person.

Ready to finally speak Spanish or Italian with confidence? I offer interactive, personalized online courses designed to make language learning practical, engaging, and enjoyable.
Learning a language isn’t about memorizing endless lists of words or surviving boring grammar drills. Research consistently shows that we learn better when we are motivated, emotionally involved, and actively participating. That’s why my classes are built around curiosity, real-life situations, creativity, and small achievable goals that keep you moving forward.
If you’re looking for an enjoyable approach to Spanish or Italian, I’d love to help you!

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.

Hi there!

My name is Matteo and I was born and raised in Milan. I'd be happy to help you learn Italian and/or become fluent in it having friendly conversations about any topic you'd like and others suggested by me. In case you're you are preparing for a trip, we could also imagine some real-life situations while getting around in the city!

Together, we'll work on your speaking, writing and reading skills, I'll also help you with grammar and syntax rules, and I'd love to share my love for literature discussing about books you'd like to read in original language!

Je suis italienne et j’ai plus de dix ans d’expérience dans l’enseignement et, ensemble, nous trouverons la méthode qui te convient.
Mon approche est basée sur la personnalisation : chaque élève a des besoins et des modes d’apprentissage différents, c’est pourquoi je prépare des schémas et des explications sur mesure.
Je mise beaucoup sur la clarté et l’organisation.
La durée typique est de 60 minutes, mais elle peut être adaptée aux besoins.
