Learn Italian language, arts and culture all levels

From 39.1 € /h

I am an associate researcher in Italian archaeology at Lausanne University with experience in teaching Italian to foreigners. I have the CEDILS certificate to teach Italian to foreigners, issued by the Itals’ Laboratory of the Ca ‘Foscari University of Venice.
I love to learn new languages and have always been aware of the importance of these skills in my personal development. I spent many years abroad for my studies in archaeology. This gave me the opportunity to meet different people and cultures from all over the world, and allowed me find my own way of teaching my language. When teaching Italian, I draw on all experiences that I have accumulated, in order to develop the academic and personal strengths of each student. I apply a student-centered, holistic approach with a focus on oral and written foreign language proficiency in a strong conversational curriculum. Highlights of my qualifications include development of students’ autonomy, action-oriented teaching and generating student motivation in a pleasant and supportive classroom.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Arabic mother tongue translator offers an individualized pedagogy, a help to speak and write classical Arabic or / and dialect.
My goal is to advance the student without overburdening him. I do an oral session at the end of each lesson to encourage the student to speak Arabic.

➤ Learn French with a successful technique: the main objective is to acquire bases or improve your level in French (written & oral: pronunciation, comprehension, language construction, communication, conjugation, grammar & vocabulary). It is also to understand the cultural specificities of Switzerland & France.

➤ Whether it is for work or leisure, the classes are adjusted to the initial diagnosis and to your needs.

➤ The method focuses on your own goals and:

• are adjusted to your own rhythm, with (funny) oral and writing exercises
• help to improve your everyday/practical skills
• on interactivity: you learn much more quickly with private sessions and you develop listening and vocabulary skills in an effective way
• these classes are customized courses to create an environment adjusted to each person, to meet your individual needs & requirements, and to learn French effectively.

➤ Statistically, you will be able to notice that you have progressed with these private classes, after 2 or 3 classes (based on our 2023 survey).

French is essential to integrate into a partially French-speaking society. I can help you integrate the material in a pleasant and logical way. French is not complicated to learn if you do it right. The secret is to go step by step, using the lessons learned and making connections.
All levels are welcome, all difficulties are recognized and all students will be encouraged with professionalism and kindness.

I am a French teacher for 13 years. I can help for any demand in French (schooling, French as foreign language, communication, children, adults any level, etc.) I have a fun & active method that I tailored to the learner.
After a meeting where we talk about your needs and wishes, I provide you a personal program based on your needs, goals, strengths & skills to learn better, easier, and faster. It's the same with children because they first need to develop confidence to trust their own skills.

French teacher (13 years old) for all learners (school, French as a foreign language, adults, business communication, etc.), I have adopted a playful active method that I adapt to the needs of the learners.
After an interview where we discuss your needs and wishes, I propose a program based on your needs, objectives, strengths and skills to allow you to learn easily, easily, quickly. It's the same thing with schoolchildren, because they especially need to gain confidence in their abilities to see them hatch.

Hey, I am a 15 year old native from Austria. Since I am a native speaking German comes easy to me as well as writing textes and grammar ( I only got the best grades in German back in Austria). Because my French isn’t that good I could only teach in German or English. Best regards :)

I offer math, physics, and computer science courses for all levels, from middle school to university. After a scientific baccalaureate with honors in France, I obtained my bachelor's degree in microtechnology at EPFL and am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Robotics. I have always been a serious and rigorous student, and I know the essential points to focus on to progress effectively. I got 20 in the philosophy baccalaureate, and I think I am quite good at grammar.

My goal is truly to help each student progress. Classes can be used to review and consolidate the basics, prepare for tests and exams, or delve deeper into certain problematic concepts. I also place great importance on developing good working methods and making students more independent. My approach is interactive and adapts to each student's pace and needs, in order to gain confidence and improve results sustainably.

Improve Your English with a Native Speaker

These lessons are designed for students aged 12–18 or adults who want to gain confidence and improve their spoken and written English.

I offer personalized sessions based on each student’s needs — whether that means:

Strengthening what they’re already learning at school,

Getting extra help with grammar, vocabulary, or writing,

Or simply spending more time speaking English in a natural, relaxed way with a native speaker.

The goal is to help students feel more comfortable communicating in English, improve their accuracy, and develop a stronger sense of fluency and confidence.

Buongiorno!
I offer Italian lessons for beginners.
I myself learned Italian as a foreign language, which allows me to understand the difficulties learners face and to know what is really useful for speaking Italian fluently.
The courses focus on the essentials: comprehension, pronunciation, and oral practice from the very beginning. The program is tailored to your level, your goals, and your pace, all within a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
Classes are held exclusively in person.
They are aimed at people who are starting to learn Italian or who have some basic knowledge.
