    Italian for foreigners, Italian conversation, Italian for school students, editing, translations from Spanish and English to Italian

    I like to teach Italian by offering my students topics of conversation and reading about their interests and Italian culture. I’m also a published author of short stories, so I have all the necessary experience to fine-tune your writing. Each lesson is personalized based on the student, their learning style, and their interests. Every study plan includes grammar lessons, conversation practice, help with Italian homework and text comprehension, authentic materials of various kinds (videos, short texts, songs, articles), as well as assistance with translation and text correction in Italian.

    About Me

    Hello, my name's Christina, but everyone calls me Nike, and I'm from Sardinia, an Italian island with an amazing culture and breathtaking natural landscapes. I have a bachelor's degree in Italian Literature, although my thesis focused on Hispano-American Literature. I love learning languages, so I am well aware of the challenges this can involve (especially when you're a bit shy). I have years of experience tutoring students both in-person and online from all around the world. I'm currently finishing my master's degree in Modern Literature and I enjoy reading and writing short stories, I love literature, music, nature, and photography, and I always enjoy a good hike in the woods with my dog.

    My teaching experience primarily involves teaching Italian, Italian Literature, and grammar to students who are not native speakers. Last year, I earned my CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) certification in order to improve my teaching strategies.

    I would love to teach Italian and focus on offering my students topics of conversation and reading related to their interests and Italian culture. I’m also a published author of short stories, so I have the necessary experience to help you refine your writing. I can provide translations from Spanish and English to Italian, and I’m experienced in tutoring Italian High School and Middle School students in Italian Literature, Grammar, Spanish, and History.

    Bella Voce: The Beginner's Guide to Italian Diction
    Diction is the art of making what we sing clear to our listeners. This online Italian Diction course offers a comprehensive introduction to the pronunciation, articulation, and expressive delivery of sung Italian, tailored specifically for singers, voice teachers, and choral directors. Through the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), students will develop a clear understanding of Italian vowels, consonants, diphthongs, and stress patterns commonly found in art song and operatic repertoire. Emphasis will be placed on lyric diction principles, text interpretations, and applying diction skills to standard Italian vocal literature. Course components include video lectures, guided transcription practice, listening and repetition exercises, and individualized feedback. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to approach Italian texts with confidence, clarity, and stylistic authenticity!

    Italian soprano offers coaching of Italian Pronunciation for singers
    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!

    Learn and Practice Italian - Grammar and conversation practice
    Ciao! I’m Alessia, a native Italian speaker with years of experience teaching students of all ages. My lessons are personalized to your level and goals, combining grammar essentials with practical conversation skills. I believe the best way to learn is through a mix of structure and real-life practice, helping you feel confident in speaking and understanding Italian. Whether you’re learning for travel, work, love, or just for fun, I’ll make sure the lessons are engaging and effective. Let’s start this journey together!

    English Language and Linguistics (A level and UG) and Year Abroad dissertation help (Fr, Sp, It)
    In this course, you will learn a range of linguistic methods and learn the terms used for describing a specific aspect of language or phenomenon (lexis, morphemes, and 'telegraphic stage' to give a few examples). The course requires you to explore your own data using quantitative and qualitative analysis (eg: how frequently are slang phrases used? Are there new auxiliaries being created?). No historical linguistics or literature is involved, but language change or specific traits will be sampled via your own data collection (if this is what is demanded in your course). As many students need to present a "year abroad" dissertation at University level (3rd year in the UK of a Modern Languages or Linguistics Undergraduate course) I can help you to research and structure your year abroad work, both in English (Linguistics) and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish). The topics that have arisen from recent discussions with students relate to French Caribbean writing, Italian resistance and reprisals in Rome (Fosse Ardiatine), and Spanish Etica franquista in films (among others).

    Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
    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.

In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading.

    Italian lessons. Italian lessons online or in person.
    - I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living in Rome. I have 10 years 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. - The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and put 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.

    Online private lessons in Italian language, culture, and lifestyle. All levels. Master of Arts Leiden University, Ditals I.
    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.
