Italian course for foreigners and preparation for official exams and certifications

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 25 € /h

In class I love discovering languages and cultures...exploring them and crossing them as if they were a bridge that unites me with you.
I work from a communicative and student-centered teaching approach, using active, collaborative, personalized activities connected to real-world contexts. For me, grammar is not the end goal, but a tool that helps us understand how others express themselves, think, and feel.
My goal is for you to discover the value of languages beyond words and enjoy the process of learning them through both traditional and innovative methodologies and resources based on new technologies.

About Me

Hello!
My name is Mercedes and I am a teacher of Italian and Spanish for foreigners.
My relationship with languages stems from a genuine passion for discovering other ways of seeing the world.
Throughout my career, I've come to understand that learning a language means much more than learning words or grammar rules. For me, language and culture are inextricably linked. That's why my teaching is based on a communicative and intercultural approach: learning to express oneself, to understand others, and to interpret the world from different perspectives.
In my classes, grammar is not an end in itself, but a tool that helps us understand how other cultures express themselves and how we can participate in them authentically.
Furthermore, I teach from a very real personal experience: having had to move to another country to live. I've lived in Madrid since 2009 and I know firsthand the needs, challenges, and difficulties that arise when one is immersed in another language and culture. But I also know the enormous richness that this experience offers. That's why I try to help my students not only overcome the obstacles, but also discover and appreciate all the positive aspects of the encounter between cultures.
My goal is to accompany each student in a process that goes beyond language learning: a path that allows us to better understand others, develop empathy, and open ourselves to new ways of thinking and feeling.
Because when we learn a language, we are actually building bridges.
And those bridges help us to transform ourselves into true intercultural speakers.

Education

I graduated in Spanish and English Languages and Literatures and in Translation in Rome (2005), and later I expanded my training with postgraduate studies in Translation Didactics in Granada (2008) and with a Master in Language Teaching through Information and Communication Technologies (2026).

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!

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 !!

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!

Hello! I'm an Italian high school teacher and published writer with a strong academic background in Literature and Languages, studied across Italy, the UK, and France. I have extensive experience tutoring students of all ages and levels, and I bring both a structured and culturally rich approach to each lesson.
My classes are personalized to suit the individual needs, goals, and current level of each student. Typically, a lesson is divided into two parts:

- Grammar & Language Structure – I teach grammar interactively using a textbook as a guide, alongside custom exercises that I prepare based on each student’s progress and needs.

- Conversation Practice – We dedicate time to speaking and listening, helping students become more confident and fluent in real-life communication.

For intermediate and advanced learners, I enrich lessons with insights into the evolution of the Italian language, drawing connections to Latin roots and Italian literature. I also weave in elements of Italian culture—from regional expressions to literary references—to make the learning experience more immersive and enjoyable.

Whether you're learning Italian for travel, study, work, or personal interest, I’ll help you reach your goals with a method that is both rigorous and inspiring.

Italian is one of the most beautiful language in the whole world; and what’s better than learning it from an Italian girl without having to move from your couch? Absolutely nothing. I’m Lara and I’m a 23 years old student in Paris. I’d love to introduce you to this language via webcam online.
I speak English very fluently as well and I’m also nice and used to be around children, if you need lessons for your younger son or daughter.

I offer Italian lessons for adults using a specific, very lively and effective method that will allow you to understand, read books in Italian, watch films in the original version and above all to express yourself quickly, with a solid grammatical foundation, in everyday life, but also to have rich conversations with your interlocutors.
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.

In my courses you can learn Spanish, French, Italian or English from a beginner, intermediate or advanced level. I like to adapt the classes to the needs of the students, so I also prepare for international exams such as: ELE, Cambridge, TOEIC, TOEFL, DELF-DALF and Plida.

In my classes, I like students to learn and practice all language skills, so we'll do reading exercises, listening exercises, role-playing to practice real-life scenarios, and speaking and writing. And of course, we'll learn grammar, but with a cultural twist! :D
