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.

Extra information

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Italian Studies from the University of Florence, and a Master's Degree in Literary Studies from Leiden University, The Netherlands. I obtained DITALS I Certification, a certificate awarded by the “Università per Stranieri di Siena” that assesses the theoretical and practical qualifications in the field of teaching Italian to foreigners.

About Me

I am an enthusiastic teacher with a passion for children's literature and fantasy as a genre.
Between 2014 and 2019 I have been living in The Netherlands. I speak Dutch, French, German, Spanish, and a little Portuguese. So I know very well how challenging it can be learning a new language, or improving your language skills!
When I am free, I like going for long walks in the countryside, practising yoga, cooking vegan recipes, and discovering new sustainable fashion brands.

Reviews (18)

Interactive and entertaining lessons. Nice teacher, always on time. I recommend it without hesitation.
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Very polite and welcoming. I enjoyed the class and the material used.
Enjoyed my lesson with Silvia and I like her interactive learning tools with the white board and books.
Silvia is not only very kind, she's also the best teacher I've had (and I've had a few). You can decide for yourself what part of the language you want to learn more intensively, while she also keeps an eye on the things you may think you know perfectly, but do not. She does this without making you feel bad or insecure, really giving you confidence by positivity.
Since 6 months Silvia teaches me Italian. According to me, she is a very good teacher. Her lessons are structured and she provides professional materials like study books and articles. She is patient and very reliable in keeping appointments. She also invests time in checking homework. I am making real progress. I recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Italian.

Tanya
Italian with a polyglot (8 languages) and Professional teacher(language coach)
Hi! I'm Tanya. I was born in Italy, but for the last two years of my life I have traveled the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East, traveling and working remotely. I am a professional teacher with 7 years of experience. 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. 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! I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills! That's because I love learning 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 model 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 hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language. My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning. My classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic. GROUP LESSONS possible! See you soon! :-)

Aurora
Language classes: Italian and Spanish for students or adults, preparation for exams
My name is Aurora, I have a degree in environmental sciences and a master's degree in microbiology. I am Italian and I have been living in Madrid for three years. I offer individual Italian classes: my goal is to advance the student without overloading him. I give homework after each lesson and periodically provide progress reports. I can also offer individual classes in science, biology, geology and related subjects for university and high school students and help with preparation for exams and in the development of final degree projects.

I have been giving private language classes for 8 years to students of all levels and ages, both Italian and foreign. I am passionate about teaching foreign languages and I love my mother tongue, Italian, which I teach with enthusiasm and professionalism. My teaching methodology usually adapts greatly to the needs of each student. I believe that everyone needs a personalized method, which includes training and, in some cases, motivational support.

Giorgia
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. 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 !!

Paola
Private Italian lessons from beginner to advanced with an Italian native language
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!

Alexandra
German classes with a native teacher in Extremadura or online (all levels)
Good Morning, I am Alexandra and I come from Austria, from the Tyrolean heart of the Alps. I studied languages at the University of Innsbruck. Since then, I have been teaching languages for many years. I have experience teaching adolescents and adults. I have been a teacher for 3 years in Austria, I have been giving private language classes for 10 years and I have been a German reader at the EOI in Cáceres. At the moment I am working in Cáceres as an English teacher. My classes balance the teaching of grammar, vocabulary and the four skills (speaking, listening, writing and reading). For me, teaching a language means that students are comfortable in classes, leaving room to have fun while studying. I like to use creative methodology, such as teaching vocabulary with various games or recreational activities. In my classes you will learn or improve your German in a simple (but substantial) way. I will also try to bring you closer to the culture and curiosities of German-speaking countries. If you want to learn German with a native teacher, contact me! See you soon Alexandra

Gemma
Learn and improve to speak Italian with a real Florentine
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.
