Italian language and culture classes for foreigners

Ciao! I have been teaching Italian for the past twelve years. I have taught privately and at language schools like La Scuola Italiana del Greenwich Village in New York and ItalCultura, the school of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago. During the first few lessons I will make sure you have the tools to pronounce and identify all the sounds of the Italian language. This step is essential! And it will make everything easier afterwards. When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling. When you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words. I will customize my materials to your interests, needs and desired pace. And because you are learning from a native Italian you will also learn about Italian culture and history. You will absorb a way of thinking, not just grammar rules. I speak a bunch of languages so I know a thing or two about how tedious language classes can be. My terrifying French teacher in middle school made us repeat the same fake dialogue from a really bad book ad nauseam, over and over and over again. Some of those dialogues are carved in my brain: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Richard Drapeau, je viens du Canada, je suis Canadien...” When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling and we will go on “talking walks” because when you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words. I hold a degree in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (Foreign Languages and Literatures) from Università Roma Tre (equivalent to an American MA) and a Master’s of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media from Columbia College Chicago. I wrote a thesis about translating a long epic poem by W. H. Auden and I tried to ride a horse across America.

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.

Come and learn a language with me, whether you are only starting or you aim at improving your competence, you'll find out straightaway how to feel at ease and be actively involved in your lesson and prompted by your teacher every minute of it! With more than 30 years of experience teaching adolescents and adults, both face to face and online, you're assured to have a high degree of personal achievement.

Ciao a tutti mi chiamo Elia e sono di Verona, la città di Romeo e Giulietta! Ho iniziato la mia carriera come insegnante nel 2024 dopo aver preso un certificato tesol/tefl per insegnare inglese. Qualche mese dopo aver iniziato a insegnare online tramite una piattaforma, una insegnante mi ha chiesto se potevo occuparmi dei suoi studenti di italiano perché non poteva più seguirli. Ho così iniziato a insegnare anche la mia lingua scoprendo di divertirmi molto nel farlo. Ho come studenti adolescenti, adulti e persone più avanti con l'età. Alcuni hanno iniziato da zero e altri erano già ad un livello B2/C1...ho imparato così ad adattarmi ai bisogni di ognuno di loro. Cerco di variare le mie lezioni includendo grammatica, audio, video e molta conversazione. Ovviamente mi sforzo di adeguarmi anche alle preferenze dei miei studenti preparando per loro delle lezioni mirate. Non ho mai insegnato a dei bambini, ma mi piacerebbe provare. Provvedo io tutti i materiali necessari, ho libri in formato digitale per tutti i livelli e anche per bambini e ragazzi. Ho inoltre un abbonamento zoom che mi permette di tenere lezioni di alto livello in tutta tranquillità. Oltre all' italiano e all' inglese, parlò anche un po' di francese e flamano e capisco un po' di spagnolo. Spero di potervi aiutare nel vostro percorso linguistico.....ci vediamo in classe! Hello everyone, my name is Elia and I’m from Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet! I started my career as a teacher in 2024 after getting a TESOL/TEFL certificate to teach English. A few months after I started teaching online through a platform, a teacher asked me if I could take over her Italian students because she could no longer follow them. That’s how I began teaching my native language as well, and I discovered that I really enjoy it. I teach teenagers, adults, and older learners. Some of them started from scratch, while others were already at a B2/C1 level... so I learned to adapt to each of their needs. I try to keep my lessons varied by including grammar, audio, video, and lots of conversation. Of course, I also make an effort to follow my students' preferences by preparing tailored lessons for them. I’ve never taught children before, but I’d love to give it a try. I provide all the necessary materials myself – I have digital books for all levels, including books for kids and teenagers. I also have a Zoom subscription that allows me to run high-quality lessons with no interruptions. In addition to Italian and English, I also speak a bit of French and Flemish, and I understand some Spanish. I hope I can help you on your language learning journey... see you in class!

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 !!

Languages represent a fundamental part of progress and cultural exchange between different populations. They can be one of the most captivating subjects of all, but also the most difficult. With me, learning will be tailored to your needs and goals, giving you the opportunity to love languages!

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!

Ciao! My name is Costy and I’ve been living abroad for over 12 years, in different European countries. During this time, I’ve had the chance to teach Italian to many international friends and colleagues — always in a practical, relaxed, and personalized way. My lessons are fully tailored to you: we can choose the topic of each session together and grow your real-life vocabulary, the kind you truly need to feel confident speaking Italian. And if you happen to be passionate about Italian cuisine , we can also explore traditional recipes, learn food-related vocabulary, and dive into this rich and flavorful world — which is just as much a part of Italy as the language itself. Each lesson is unique and dynamic, designed to help you speak more naturally and with ease.

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.

- 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.
