Learn Italian culture and language by a native

From 19 € /h

Student in European Studies offers private lessons in Italian, his native language.

I studied in France for a year where I graduated from SciencesPo, my passion for teaching Italian started from this experience in France. Many people had Italian grapes, but speaking and writing was complicated for them. So I said: why not teach my mother tongue in French? I followed different students during the last year and they were all satisfied both academically and personally.

My teaching method depends primarily on the level of the student
If it is for beginners, I start with the study of grammar and basic rules, once reached a level of discreet understanding, I prefer to approach the language in a less academic and more fun way: games, video , movies comment on it.
At the intermediate level, I offer a more active teaching: speaking is fundamental in order to understand the grammatical gaps of the student. During the first hour, I prefer to speak while watching videos and commenting on images. During the second hour, depending on the difficulties I noticed, I will deepen the grammar.

I am a teacher and tutor of Italian Language for Foreigners with a Master's degree in teaching Italian as a language for foreigners from the Ca' Foscari University of Venezia and the DITALS certification (Certificate of aptitude in didactics of Italian to foreigners) of the University for Foreigners of Siena (Italy).
The course and my method of teaching the language are based on a communicative approach: the student will learn the language gradually by using it and communicating in a real language and not abstract. To achieve this goal, many activities will be offered using authentic teaching materials such as newspaper articles, pages from novels, movie scenes, song lyrics and many more.

Ciao ! Je m’appelle Francesco et je vis en Belgique depuis 2018. Je viens d’une petite ville de Ligurie, dans le nord de l’Italie, et je suis actuellement en train de terminer un doctorat en philosophie. Depuis plusieurs années, je donne des cours particuliers à des personnes qui souhaitent apprendre l'italien pour des raisons professionnelles ou simplement par plaisir. J’ai également donné deux cours dans une école en Flandre : un cours classique axé sur la grammaire et le vocabulaire, ainsi qu’un cours de conversation destiné à des étudiants plus avancés. Selon ton niveau, nous pouvons consacrer une heure à faire connaissance, à parler de nos vies, de nos centres d’intérêt et de nos expériences — bref, de tout ce que tu souhaites. Je peux aussi préparer de courtes vidéos que nous regarderons et discuterons ensemble afin d’améliorer ta compréhension et d’enrichir ton vocabulaire. Et lorsque cela s’avère nécessaire, nous pourrons nous concentrer plus précisément sur la grammaire et la construction des phrases. Nous déciderons ensemble de la meilleure manière d’avancer. N’hésite pas à me contacter si tu es intéressé ! A presto!

Learning a new language can feel overwhelming and difficult. I can help you achieve your goals and teach you English, Italian or French from scratch. If you already know the language but you need to improve your skills, I can tailor-make a program that would suit you best.

Ciao folks!

If you want to learn Italian while making a new friend, you are in the right place! We can start from any level you would like and build from there - no matter the level, the aim should always be to reach a point where you feel natural expressing yourself even with basic knowledge and vocabulary.

We’ll work on real-life communication (conversation, pronunciation, and everyday expressions) while also covering grammar in a simple, practical way - as much as we can, Italian grammar can be a tough one, but bear with me.

You can learn at your own pace, and I’ll adapt the lessons to your interests - from travel and culture to professional Italian or exam preparation.

Classes are available online or in person, always in a friendly and encouraging environment :)

I see my role more as a guide or tutor, someone who creates a supportive environment where students feel comfortable to learn and making mistakes. I enjoy working with students in a collaborative way: for example, giving them exercises or homework, and then going through the corrections together, so that the focus is not only on the result but also on the learning process.

Since I have taught Italian to foreign students in the past, I have developed an approach that emphasizes patience, clarity, and adaptability. I believe it is important to meet students where they are, to understand their individual needs, and to adjust my explanations accordingly. For me, being an "instructor" means encouraging curiosity, motivating students to engage actively, and helping them build confidence step by step.

Is it easier to learn Italian or French? Italian or Portuguese? Italian or Swedish? Who knows! After starting to study my fifth language, I would love to have an answer... perhaps we will discover it together, by discussing in Italian, whether you are a beginner or at a more advanced level.

I would be delighted to organize learning sessions tailored to your objectives, if you have any, and your favorite subjects. I am passionate about urban planning, adventure books, theater, and olive oil, but I am also very curious and ready to prepare on your favorite topics.

I love beautiful grammar, but when learning a new language, my mantra is: "Language is a means of communication."

...and like true Italians, we will also learn to talk with our hands!
