Conversation in Italian with native-speaker.
Do you need to learn how to speak in Italian really quickly? Do you already speak at a basic level and you want to improve? This course is for you!
Every lesson, a new thematic: you will learn how to deal in the most common situation with immersive focus on everyday life & job situation. Relax and just speak!
-As a qualified and experienced teacher, I ensure you make real progress, helping you successfully achieve your goals and communicate with confidence in Italian. I prefer not to use vehicular languages but don't worry, I have plurilingual and pluricultural competences so, if you need, we can speak English, French, Arabic (MSA and Tunisian) or Spanish! Together, we'll work on interaction, dialogue, oral production and comprehension, focusing on fluency, lexis and vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. I'll give you access to a range of free resources and authentical materials like videos, audios, newspapers, and books, for sure.
- My method: I follow a communicative and non-frontal approach in which the student always has a leading role and is stimulated to experiment with the structures and the vocabulary learned. In general, during a lesson, I give equal space to the reinforcement of each competence (comprehension and oral production, comprehension and written production, grammatical insights), but at the request of the student, it is possible to focus on particular objectives. I offer students a wide range of Italian language books for foreigners and the choice of texts or materials to follow will be done together. Multimedia materials such as audio and video and interactive activities.

About Me
My name is Natalia. Graduated in Languages and Cultures for international cooperation, I specialize in teaching Italian and Arabic. I am a qualified teacher, having DILS-PG II liv. certification.I lived in Tunis for three years, where I taught Italian LS (Institute of Italian Culture and Dante Alighieri Society) and a year in Paris to deepen my studies in Arabic language and culture, at the Université Paris 8 Saint Vincennes.
I have many years of experience and training in the teaching of foreign languages in Italy and abroad and with different profiles of learners and a solid competence in language teaching, thanks to a permanent update: I attended training courses on the CLIL methodology in teaching Italian and Arabic language.
I currently live in Milan where I teach Italian as a foreign language; I also carry out cultural and linguistic mediation activities in school contexts to facilitate school-family communication.
I have several previous experiences also in pedagogical activities for children of non formal education to differences, group activities for the insertion of young people in difficult social conditions.
I speak Arabic, Spanish, French and English; I like to travel and discover the world and new contexts, following - possibly - work and study opportunities.
I love teaching languages because it is I firmly believe that knowing languages is a wealth and a powerful tool for understanding and citizenship.

Natalia has been a wonderful tutor over the past year : she has been a great help in gaining confidence in conversation as well as grammar work, which underpins it all. It is often easier, when learning, to 'hide behind the grammar' however the drawing out and use of it in conversation has been done gently and with great understanding, assistance and humour. Not forgetting patience. And I never feel I'm being chided when I hear the words "..in italian now" - sometimes you just need a push.
As a tutor, Natalia is very flexible (a great help when you work), supportive and always full of encouragement. I look forward to continuing my lessons !
Natalia is a great tutor, she is very friendly, professional, experienced and fun! I recommend her very much.
Great Class!

Italian with a native speaker. Personalized online classes!I have over 12 years of experience teaching online Italian classes, adapting to the most diverse goals and profiles. I have supported university students preparing to study abroad, professionals working with Italian companies, and individuals who need to certify their Italian level with official exams such as CILS or PLIDA, with excellent results.
I have also worked with children of all ages and with parents married to Italians, helping them integrate linguistically and culturally into the lives of their partners and children.
I design each course with the student, adapting the content to their interests, pace, and learning style. I don't work with generic programs: I believe in a flexible, humane, and deeply individualized approach.
Includes varied and dynamic digital materials:
Videos, audios, movies, cartoons, grammar books, interactive exercises, and more. Everything is available online so learning can continue outside of class.
My method is based on the theory of Personalized Education developed by Víctor García Hoz, which recognizes that each student is unique and learns differently. Therefore, each class is different.
Valentina
Italian, french, spanish and english for beginners and intermediateSono una ragazza 18enne che frequenta il liceo linguistico, e sono lingua madre italiana e spagnola.
Ho sempre avuto una grande facilità nelle lingue, conseguendo ottimi risultati anche in quelle che non sono la mia prima lingua, come il francese e l’inglese.
Aiutare i ragazzi e le ragazze è una mia grande aspirazione ed essendo anch’io un’adolescente, penso di essere in grado di spiegar loro le cose in una maniera più interattiva e non così frontale e monotona.

Italian soprano offers coaching of Italian Pronunciation for singersAs 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!

Emilce
English Language and Linguistics (A level and UG) and Year Abroad dissertation help (Fr, Sp, It)In this course, you will learn a range of linguistic methods and learn the terms used for describing a specific aspect of language or phenomenon (lexis, morphemes, and 'telegraphic stage' to give a few examples). The course requires you to explore your own data using quantitative and qualitative analysis (eg: how frequently are slang phrases used? Are there new auxiliaries being created?). No historical linguistics or literature is involved, but language change or specific traits will be sampled via your own data collection (if this is what is demanded in your course).
As many students need to present a "year abroad" dissertation at University level (3rd year in the UK of a Modern Languages or Linguistics Undergraduate course) I can help you to research and structure your year abroad work, both in English (Linguistics) and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish). The topics that have arisen from recent discussions with students relate to French Caribbean writing, Italian resistance and reprisals in Rome (Fosse Ardiatine), and Spanish Etica franquista in films (among others).

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any levelHello 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 !!
Giorgia

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

Silvia
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.
