Learn Italian culture and language by a native

From 22.72 $ /h

Student in European Studies offers private lessons in Italian, his native language.

I studied in France for a year where I graduated from SciencesPo, my passion for teaching Italian started from this experience in France. Many people had Italian grapes, but speaking and writing was complicated for them. So I said: why not teach my mother tongue in French? I followed different students during the last year and they were all satisfied both academically and personally.

My teaching method depends primarily on the level of the student
If it is for beginners, I start with the study of grammar and basic rules, once reached a level of discreet understanding, I prefer to approach the language in a less academic and more fun way: games, video , movies comment on it.
At the intermediate level, I offer a more active teaching: speaking is fundamental in order to understand the grammatical gaps of the student. During the first hour, I prefer to speak while watching videos and commenting on images. During the second hour, depending on the difficulties I noticed, I will deepen the grammar.

Basically, I love teaching Italian and Violin! I do it with passion, love, and putting all my self in it. I shall guarantee professionalism, high teaching level and friendly attitude.

Italian is the language of Opera and the fashion: understanding the language helps people to get deeper in the Italian culture and to enjoy literature, arts, music and all the most beautiful cities in Italy. My method consists in using grammar books to build solid skills but also reading original samples from Italian newspapers and books, making funny activities and also meeting Italian speakers in Bruxelles to consolidate practical skills of my students. I will encourage students to practise Italian with the new technology and have fun through listening to lovely Italian popular song, arias from Italian Opera or cartoons for children of amateurs (for more details, do not hesitate to contact me).

Violin, solfège. I studied Master of Arts in Violin in London at the Royal Academy of Music. As violinist and musician, I think it is fundamental for a student of music to understand their bodies in order to feel the inner voice of themselves.
I studied Alexander technique so in my teaching I always talk about relaxing, feeling the right tensions and avoiding the not-useful ones.
I will be happy to teach violin to everyone who needs to improve musicality, technique, self-consciousness or simply who like to enjoy violin.
As a violinst, I usually play with ensemble or in chamber music projects across the Europe. Basically I play historical instrument but I fell equally at home on the modern violin ( for more details and cv, do not hesitate to contact me).

I teach English as well.

Group language lessons(max 3 people) are warmly welcome. Discounts apply.

I am a teacher and tutor of Italian Language for Foreigners with a Master's degree in teaching Italian as a language for foreigners from the Ca' Foscari University of Venezia and the DITALS certification (Certificate of aptitude in didactics of Italian to foreigners) of the University for Foreigners of Siena (Italy).
The course and my method of teaching the language are based on a communicative approach: the student will learn the language gradually by using it and communicating in a real language and not abstract. To achieve this goal, many activities will be offered using authentic teaching materials such as newspaper articles, pages from novels, movie scenes, song lyrics and many more.

Have you ever been worried that your accent isn't good enough, or that you may be mispronouncing things, or you just want practice speaking? Well, I can help you out! As a native English speaker and near native Italian speaker, I can help you from the basics, to helping you correct university level papers, and to just sitting down and having a chat with you!
I have had past experience with tutoring and am flexible towards what my students want. If you're looking for someone to give you weekly homework, and to teach you grammar and vocabulary then I can do just that (with an entertaining, laidback feel to it). I don't want learning a language to feel like a chore, or a burden, therefore I put a lot of effort in making my classes interesting, new, and fun to ensure you take the most out of it.
If you would like to know more about who I am, or need any help in English and Italian I am ready to help!

My goal is to guide and help the students grasp a high level of understanding in the basics of English language skills, ESL, and Italian.
Moreover, I aim, with the students, to achieve a more advanced level for the students in speaking, reading, and understanding. I can assure flexibility in my lessons. If students find they already know something quite well, I will not dwell on such topics too long and will move on to other topics that are new to them, or of interest. My goal is to provide a focused session in which the student is really the center of attention, where all their needs are met.

Do you want to learn Italian with pleasure?
here you are in the right place!
Not only fun but also educational Italian lessons and language training at different levels: conversation lessons incl. grammar, preparation for the CELI/CILS exam, crash course, weekend course on request.
I teach Italian in a communicative way: together we look at which method is best for the student. Not only using a textbook but I also look for authentic materials for my students to learn and speak Italian quickly and easily.

Hi! My name is Francesco and I’ve been living in Belgium since 2018. I come from a small town in Liguria, in northern Italy, and I am currently finishing a PhD in philosophy. For several years now, I’ve been giving private lessons to people who want to learn Italian for professional reasons or simply for pleasure. I have also taught two courses at an evening school in Flanders: a traditional course focused on grammar and vocabulary, and a conversation course for more advanced students. Depending on your level, we can organize the lessons as a conversation course, to develop your speaking and listening skills, and when necessary, we can focus more specifically on grammar and sentence structure. Alternatively, we can give more space to grammar and then move toward conversation once you have a more solid foundation. It all depends on your needs and your way of working! We will decide together on the best way to move forward. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re interested. A presto!

We will concentrate on the basics at the beginning until you are confident enough to learn some typical expressions. Grammar is the only difficult part, however I'll make sure you have fun in learning. I believe in creating a dinamic lesson and I'll add some curiosities about the culture. I can teach you hand gestures, too!

You will improve your grammar, expand your vocabulary, and gain a deeper understanding of Italian culture and expression!

Finally, you’ll be able to use the hand gesture 🤌 in the most appropriate way!

Learning a new language can feel overwhelming and difficult. I can help you achieve your goals and teach you English, Italian or French from scratch. If you already know the language but you need to improve your skills, I can tailor-make a program that would suit you best.

Is it easier to learn Italian or French? Italian or Portuguese? Italian or Swedish? Who knows! After starting to study my fifth language, I would love to have an answer... perhaps we will discover it together, by discussing in Italian, whether you are a beginner or at a more advanced level.

I would be delighted to organize learning sessions tailored to your objectives, if you have any, and your favorite subjects. I am passionate about urban planning, adventure books, theater, and olive oil, but I am also very curious and ready to prepare on your favorite topics.

I love beautiful grammar, but when learning a new language, my mantra is: "Language is a means of communication."

...and like true Italians, we will also learn to talk with our hands!

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!

Studying a language is not just about memorizing lists of verbs, it is above all about being able to express oneself with confidence.
My approach is simple: clarity and practical application are my priorities. Whether it's for French (FLE), Spanish, or Italian, we'll work on what truly matters to you.
Zero blockage: We practice speaking from the beginning so that speaking becomes natural.
Current content: We use a variety of media (videos, articles, podcasts) to understand the language as it is spoken today.
School effectiveness: For students, we go straight to the essential points to unlock understanding.

My approach for our first meeting:
The first session is dedicated to your goals and interests. I like to build my lessons around your passions: this allows us to work on specific vocabulary and conversation topics that truly motivate you. A lesson tailored to you is a lesson where progress is faster.

When do we start?
