Passionate native Italian to teach you authentic ITALIANO!

This class is aiming for confident Italian speakers and practice is the best way to improve language fluency.
My students and I love to split each class into two parts: the first half generally focused on grammar (foundations are crucial) and the second always dedicated to speaking activities and conversation.
We'll talk about a number of different topics and share content and ideas while having lots of fun.

Classes will be in English, hopefully in Italian :)

Please contact me for a tailored learning program designed on your needs!

Nice person, very empathic
Great teacher! Fortunella makes the learning environment fun and interactive, while also giving good explanations and exercises.
Fortunella has been a wonderful and energetic tutor! Aside from vocabulary words and verb conjugation, I’ve learned a lot about the culture and received various recommendations for Italian movies, shows, and songs. I’ve had such a great experience since she could pinpoint my weaknesses so that I could improve much faster. Grazie mille!
(ENGLISH BELOW) Fortunella is, as a professional and as a person, simply FANTASTIC... Punctual, nice, professional, funny... we don't miss details! I learned vocabulary, verbs, how to read and pronounce correctly... we talked about culture, society, travel... the topics were endless! My Italian isn't perfect but I really learned and improved so much that I can't believe it. I'm happy to have met you, thank you for your dedication every day, I look forward to returning to class with you! ---------------------------- Fortunella is simply FANTASTIC, both personal and professionally speaking...

Derek
Oxford & Cambridge University Interview Prep Course
Have you been invited to interview at Oxford or Cambridge this coming autumn? Congratulations! Oxbridge interviews are the make-or-break stage in acceptance into one of these two top-tier universities, and they require a significant amount of preparation and know-how in order to succeed. Having successfully secured a place for myself to study English Language & Literature at the University of Oxford in 2015, and having been subsequently invited to pursue a Master's degree in English literature on scholarship, I am versed in the intricacies and expectations of the interview process for a range of disciplines. I work with students across a series of sessions to hone their understanding of what's expected of them during the interview process, to identify their particular strengths and improve on their weakness, and to practice extemporaneous speaking and timed essay-writing and test-taking. Each course is designed with the candidate in mind, and I can outline a recommended number of sessions and their contents based on an initial session.

Bibiána
Math tutoring for children: I will make your children excited about math
My perspective is that if a child enjoys learning, they are the most motivated and most successful. Therefore, I try to teach in a way that the children actually enjoy and are excited about coming to my tutoring. I really enjoy teaching and I believe that sometimes kids just need more encouraging words and playful ways to learn.

Maths lessons given by a tutor (school related lessons/support)
My name is Andrea. I am a bachelor's student studying Business Administration at the University of Amsterdam. Born in a Belgian family, I grew up in Brussels and followed a bilingual education at the Lycée Français Jean Monnet where I got my high school diploma; Baccalaureate (Economic and Social section with International Option of Baccalaureate). In my last year of high school, I tutored a 6-year-old with all her subjects (math, French, Dutch, and science). I am a great fit to help children with their homework and am enthusiastic to spread my culture. Whether it is for school or personal reasons, I can come to teach French or English.

Matthijs
Cambridge Maths and Physics Tutor for High School and University Students
-- Tutor For High School / IB and University Students -- I am a Maths and Physics Tutor with over 5 years of experience tutoring teenagers, students and young adults. After having received a bachelor in Aerospace Engineering and Philosophy & Mathematics, I am now doing research at the University of Cambridge in the field of AI. My teaching is based on a principles of compassion, understanding and personalisation. I believe that every student is different and that for every student a tailor-made approach is required to create the perfect lesson. After all, each of us retains information in a different way. For some, visual learning is crucial, while for others simply talking through the problem can be enough. That is why I use my five years of experience in tutoring to gauge what the student exactly needs and how the student can fully understand the problem. Not only does the student become better at the subject they're being tutored, but they also become a better problem solver in general. A skill which they can apply throughout their entire life.
