Conversation in Italian with native-speaker... Relax and just speak!

From 30 € /h

Every lesson, a new thematic: you will learn how to deal in the most common situation with immersive focus on everyday life & job situation. Relax and just speak!

-As a qualified and experienced teacher, I ensure you make real progress, helping you successfully achieve your goals and communicate with confidence in Italian. I prefer not to use vehicular languages but don't worry, I have plurilingual and pluricultural competences so, if you need, we can speak English, French, Arabic (MSA and Tunisian) or Spanish! Together, we'll work on interaction, dialogue, oral production and comprehension, focusing on fluency, lexis and vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. I'll give you access to a range of free resources and authentical materials like videos, audios, newspapers, and books, for sure.

- My method: I follow a communicative and non-frontal approach in which the student always has a leading role and is stimulated to experiment with the structures and the vocabulary learned. In general, during a lesson, I give equal space to the reinforcement of each competence (comprehension and oral production, comprehension and written production, grammatical insights), but at the request of the student, it is possible to focus on particular objectives. I offer students a wide range of Italian language books for foreigners and the choice of texts or materials to follow will be done together. Multimedia materials such as audio and video and interactive activities.

About Me

My name is Natalia. Graduated in Languages and Cultures for international cooperation, I specialize in teaching Italian and Arabic. I am a qualified teacher, having DILS-PG II liv. certification.

I lived in Tunis for three years, where I taught Italian LS (Institute of Italian Culture and Dante Alighieri Society) and a year in Paris to deepen my studies in Arabic language and culture, at the Université Paris 8 Saint Vincennes.

I have many years of experience and training in the teaching of foreign languages in Italy and abroad and with different profiles of learners and a solid competence in language teaching, thanks to a permanent update: I attended training courses on the CLIL methodology in teaching Italian and Arabic language.

I currently live in Milan where I teach Italian as a foreign language; I also carry out cultural and linguistic mediation activities in school contexts to facilitate school-family communication.

I have several previous experiences also in pedagogical activities for children of non formal education to differences, group activities for the insertion of young people in difficult social conditions.

I speak Arabic, Spanish, French and English; I like to travel and discover the world and new contexts, following - possibly - work and study opportunities.

I love teaching languages because it is I firmly believe that knowing languages is a wealth and a powerful tool for understanding and citizenship.

Whether your goal is personal or professional, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, relying on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations, reflecting the involvement of the speaker in his speech.

How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression? How to regain self-confidence and control the management of his emotions?

Knowing how to speak in public is now a necessity for the company and in the company. From a personal point of view, this is a vector for better relationships and optimal messages. On the phone, in a meeting, in front of a client or a banker (...), your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent.

Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented and then put into practice for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering trust ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups.

Controlled, the method allows:

• improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's fluency (verbal-bodily), his public speaking and his sense of repartee and improvisation

• to work on his ease, leadership, his NLP, his charisma, his creativity and to go towards a certain personal development, through a set of scenarios

* improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitch, intention, flow)

Completed by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management ...), role plays, improvisations and simulations will be set up.

With the key words: pronunciation, rhetoric, verbal and non-verbal communication, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee, structured speech (...).

The goal is not only to focus on verbal communication but also on nonverbal communication, so as to make the control of his body, his voice (...), a real and lasting strength.

Depending on the interaction between the trainer - coach and the one who consults, there is no single way to operate: each type of session depends on the needs and difficulties of each.

In all cases, it is very often a question, while adapting to your own needs and after having precisely diagnosed your desired objective and the blockages encountered, to combine the theory (the bases of the studied concept, for example NLP / information asymmetry / the "how to say no" / the tools of non-verbal communication or the application of kinaesthesia) and its application (through exercises and direct applications).

For example, are discussed:

- the fundamentals of public speaking: breathing, gaze and body language

- diction and elocution: rhythm and range of your voice - management of your emotions and your emotional overflow (example: stress) - work on the body, to amplify your charisma and ensure consistency between your message and your body ... with the aim of:

* Enhance your presentation and arouse interest by focusing on your strengths, your qualities ... your personality

* Match the content and form of your message

* Improve your charisma, your self-confidence and the benefits of your emotional intelligence

Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, specialized and worked for over 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking in renowned public and private international institutions, involved in forums and conferences, and focused on two areas: training and coaching, with the key words pedagogy and careful methodology.

PLACES
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: notes that can be re-read on the chat). In this context, the videoconference sessions for which you asked me to seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place very optimally and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours!

PROGRAM
A la carte program: evaluated and adapted to each need.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

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 !!

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

Learn to Perfect Your American English Accent and Communication Skills—for Work, Academics, and Everyday Life
Great for Study Abroad and International Students!

“Where are you from? ...No, but where are you actually from?”

I was born and have lived in the United States my entire life (28 years). I lived in the rural Midwestern state of Wisconsin until age 13. Then I lived, attended middle school, graduated high school, and attended university in the major U.S. cities of Chicago, Illinois, and San Francisco, California.

I come from a bilingual home, and my parents speak with an accent—but my American English accent is clear, standard, and natural.

I’m happy to work with you to help you sound more American. This can be extremely useful for English learners who want to communicate more confidently and comfortably in school, at work, and in daily life.

We will cover:
• Accent and pronunciation
• Pacing and rhythm
• Vocabulary and word choice
• Delivery and confidence

All techniques are based on evidence from linguistics and communication studies, so you’ll understand why they work—not just memorize rules. Accent and communication improvement is a science and an art.

I have worked in journalism, speech-language pathology, tourism, and customer service. I have experience in high-academic settings (like museums and graduate seminars) and everyday settings (like working in stores). I am currently working toward a Level 5 TEFL diploma.

I have one semester left in my degree in Spanish and Chinese at San Francisco State University, and I plan to move abroad for graduate school. I have also taken graduate-level classes in Chinese and Spanish. I speak eight languages fluently, and I understand what it takes to make a foreign-language accent sound natural and confident.
I’m warm, friendly, patient, professional, open-minded, and flexible. Every student has a unique journey in language learning, and I will meet you where you are to meet your goals.

Feel free to message me with any questions!

Hello, my name is Adil, a teacher passionate about languages and specializing in practical and effective French teaching.
With me, there are no boring classes: we learn with a method, with measurable progress.

I help you:

✔ speak more naturally,
✔ Improve your basics and grammar,
✔ Enrich your vocabulary,
✔ to prepare for an exam, an interview or life in a French-speaking country.

I speak French, English and Portuguese, which allows me to understand the difficulties of learners and to explain clearly.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced, I adapt to you.

I have concrete and varied experience in teaching French internationally:

1) As a private French and English teacher in Brazil, I have worked with students of very different profiles (students, professionals, complete beginners as well as advanced levels).

2) Assistant professor in a Brazilian University (UFES), an experience which allowed me to work in an academic setting, to prepare structured educational activities and to support groups of students.

3) As a volunteer teacher with the French Red Cross, I taught French to refugees and people in integration programs. This experience gave me a human, patient, and truly personalized approach to teaching.

Being trilingual allows me to understand the difficulties encountered by a learner and to adapt my courses accordingly.

Regarding my method:

I propose a structured yet accessible approach, based on:

1) Clear objectives from the very first lesson,

2) a personalized progression according to the student's level and pace,

3) a balance between grammar, conversation, vocabulary and comprehension,

4) varied activities: role-playing, dialogues, exercises, guided correction,

5) Follow-up after each session to measure progress.

I have worked with learners with diverse objectives:
✔ integration in France,
✔ Improved oral communication,
✔ academic or university refresher courses,
✔ Professional French and DAFL/DEFL certifications,
✔ Language preparation for everyday life or work

I’m a qualified English teacher with 6 years of experience, Cambridge certifications, and a strong focus on practical, real-world English.

What you get in my classes:
✔️ Structured lessons with a clear goal (every class has a purpose - no chaos)
✔️ Speaking-focused approach (you’ll speak more than I do)
✔️ Grammar explained logically - without overcomplicating things
✔️ Personalised materials based on your level, goals, and learning style
✔️ Honest feedback and real correction (yes, I will correct you - kindly but firmly)

I help students who want to:
- improve spoken fluency and confidence
- prepare for IELTS or Cambridge exams (KET, PET, FCE, CAE)
- use English for work, relocation, interviews, or daily life
- finally understand grammar instead of memorising rules blindly

Levels:
A1 to C1

My teaching style:
Calm, structured, supportive - but demanding.
I won’t pressure you, but I won’t let you stagnate either.

If you’re ready to invest effort and want English that actually works outside the classroom, we’ll get along just fine.
