Ciao, I am Desi Alessandrini and I’ve been teaching Italian as a foreign language since 1988. I was born in Trento, in northern Italy, and over the years I’ve lived in Brazil, Sardegna, and now in a small village in Abruzzo.

I have a degree in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners and I’m a certified Italian teacher (DILS-PG, University of Perugia).

I’m a patient and understanding teacher, and I love introducing students to Italy beyond the usual stereotypes. I love history, politics, philosophy, art history, literature, comics, and cinema, often bringing these passions into my lessons.

I offer structured Italian courses where you’ll start speaking from the very first lesson, even if you’re a complete beginner. You can also choose a more exploratory course focused on Italian history and/or art history, or simply book conversation-only lessons to practice and gain confidence.

With my Italiano + Arte and Italiano + Storia programs, you can learn Italian while taking a guided journey through Italian art history and/or history. Using images, maps, and videos, we’ll explore Italy’s most fascinating events and cultural heritage, while you naturally improve your Italian.

The course in Italian, divided into several sections between phonetics, grammar, and vocabulary, aims to provide students with the basics of every day Italian, ensuring them a good command of the essential vocabulary, useful to support both the conversation, understand written Italian and knowing how to write texts in this language.

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.

Ben je net met het Italiaans begonnen? Of ben je al ervaren en wil je de taal beheersen? Of heb je een Italiaanse partner en wil je graag met hem/haar in het Italiaans kunnen praten? Of nog, heb je een officiele taaltentamen? Ik weet zeker dat ik de juiste leraar voor jou zal zijn.

ENGLISH:

Are you just starting with Italian and do you want to speed up the process? Are you already experienced and do you want to master the language even better? Or do you have an Italian partner and you would love to be able to speak with them in their language? Or do you perhaps have to pass an official language exam? I am sure I will be the right tutor for you.

PLEASE NOTE, THE BOOKING SCHEDULE IS NOT ADJUSTED. WE SHALL ORGANIZE THE TIME OF THE LESSONS TOGETHER VIA MESSAGES.

Is your hobby watching movies? Are you addicted to Netflix? What if you chose to study them outright? Trained in cinematographic analysis and aggregated in visual arts, I offer a course in the history of cinema. We will approach the main trends of cinematographic history compared with art history.

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!

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.

Hooi! I'm Tanya.
I was born in Venice, Italy.
In the past years of my life, I have traveled the world, visiting over 80 countries and working remotely.
I am a professional teacher with 7 years of experience.
Italian is my native language. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.
Three years ago I opened my own language school in the Netherlands: Lingodrops.
I have a degree in languages, I am certified in international law and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language but also how to learn new languages! :-D
I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!

I love learning and teaching new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to tailor my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.

My classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch

GROUP LESSONS possible!
See you soon! A presto

I'm offering Italian language lessons, drawing not only on my native fluency but also on my academic background in Humanities, with a focus on Italian language and literature.

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!

the lesson consists of 45 minutes divided into:

learning (book or laptop at hand, we go through grammar structures and principles)
practice (we will mostly be writing down and exercise on paper)
speaking or free writing (we can focus on pronunciation and small talks, or on text composition)
recap

the lesson can include the sharing of media of your interest.

Speak with Precision, Understand with Depth: The Linguist’s Approach to Italian

Why settle for simply learning Italian when you can learn it with the insight of a linguistic expert? My unique lessons combine the practical goal of achieving native-level fluency with the intellectual depth of linguistic theory.

As both an Italian language and Linguistics specialist, I don't just teach you what to say, I teach you the underlying principles of why it is said that way. This accelerated approach allows you to master complex grammar and vocabulary faster and retain it longer, building a truly flexible and powerful command of the language.

You will master: Elegant Italian communication; sophisticated analysis of texts and discourse; and the ability to leverage linguistic principles to make language learning efficient, enjoyable, and profound.

Hi,

Ik heb ruime ervaring met het geven van bijles en het begeleiden van leerlingen bij verschillende organisaties. In de afgelopen jaren heb ik gewerkt met leerlingen van uiteenlopende niveaus, waarbij ik heb gemerkt dat ik veel energie haal uit het uitleggen van lesstof en het vergroten van zelfvertrouwen bij leerlingen.

Mijn interesse en passie liggen vooral bij de vakken geschiedenis, aardrijkskunde en maatschappijleer/burgerschap. Ik vind het belangrijk om deze vakken niet alleen inhoudelijk duidelijk uit te leggen, maar ook te laten zien hoe ze aansluiten bij de actualiteit en de belevingswereld van leerlingen. Daarbij besteed ik veel aandacht aan structuur, overzicht en het aanleren van effectieve leerstrategieën.

Op dit moment volg ik de master Bestuurskunde aan de Universiteit Leiden. Deze opleiding sluit goed aan bij mijn interesse in politiek, bestuur en maatschappelijke vraagstukken en versterkt mijn vakinhoudelijke kennis, die ik ook inzet tijdens mijn bijlessen.

Mijn manier van begeleiden is rustig, geduldig en persoonlijk. Ik neem de tijd om te achterhalen waar een leerling tegenaan loopt en pas mijn uitleg daarop aan. Het doel is niet alleen betere resultaten, maar ook meer zelfvertrouwen en motivatie.

I can provide excellent support and tutoring, but I don't necessarily specialize in academic subjects. However, by thoroughly reviewing the schoolwork, I always manage to provide students with effective support and good results.
