About Me

I lived and worked in a bunch of countries and learned several languages, however, today I live in a beautiful seaside town in Sicily and love the simplicity of the way of life in the South of Italy, the local fresh food and the liveliness of its people.

I think of language acquisition like any other hobbies, a way to take your mind off of work and worries, a valuable tool to enrich your mindset and learn (and live) a different culture.

I also like to think that teaching is learning twice and I am thankful that I am given a chance to experience continuous learning through my job thanks to my students.

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living between Pisa and Rome. I have 10 years of teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests, and availability of the student. I can offer students private accommodation in Pisa, a comfortable private apartment in the historic center of the city, a short walk from my home.

- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and putting the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course, and for each lesson, I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also, the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

Do you love Italy and would love to travel there? Would like to know more about the culture? My lessons are personalized to your needs and I make sure you don't get overwhelmed by the language, but enjoy the process of learning it! I always add a cultural element to my classes, so it's not just learning grammar, but learning how Italian people actually think and live.
Depending on your preference, I can teach the class fully in Italian or using English or Japanese when necessary.

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!

I am Italian but I also speak fluent French and English. I learned French at the age of four in nursery school and English from the age of six. I completed my university studies in London (Bachelor's and Master's degrees). I have experience teaching these languages to high school students and adults. My approach is very dynamic; I structure my lessons with theory, grammar, exercises, and verbal practice. I offer lessons online or at my office.

I am Italian but I also speak French and English fluently. I started learning French at the age of 4 in nursery school and English at school from age 6. I have completed my university's studies in London (bachelor+master). I already taught these languages to students from high school as well as to adults. My approach to the lessons is very dynamic: I explain the theory and the grammar, we then solve exercises and finally we spend time practicing conversation. I give classes online or at my office.

Sono italiana my parlo molto bene anche il francese e l'inglese. Ho learn French from 4 years old and learn English from 6 years old. Complete my university studies in Londra (bachelor+master). Ho già insegnato queste lingue a studenti del liceo e ad adulti. My understanding of the lesson is dynamic: first of all, it looks at the theory and the grammar, so you can learn it and end up practicing the conversation. My information is available online or at my office.

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.

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.

Fall in love with the beauty of Italian language 😍 Learn practical vocabulary and grammar concepts before you travel to your dream holiday destination 🍕 Discover by yourself the unforgettable reactions of Italian people when you speak their language and become an instant friend🤌

It is absolutely possible to achieve from the very beginning. By introducing simple, intuitive grammar and new words at the same time, you can quickly broaden your understanding of daily language and form your own sentences 📈 English shares many grammar concepts with Italian, what makes it especially pleasant to learn and teach. There are a lot of words that are almost the same as English equivalents like arrivare - which basically means to arrive.

In my classes we play interactive games that boost acquisition of new vocabulary and spend time in a fun and friendly way. If you wish, I may give some advice on where to travel in Italy based on my personal experience 🌍

If you'd like, I can also send you the materials that we are going to cover during the lesson in advance, so you can have them printed if you prefer to work on paper copies rather than Microsoft Word files.

I'm looking forward to seeing you on our online classes!

In today’s fast-changing world, learning should be more than just listening and memorizing. It should be active, engaging, and inspiring. That is exactly what my online classes are designed to offer. Instead of passive lessons, students take part in dynamic activities that keep their minds alert and their motivation high. Every session is built to encourage participation, creativity, and real interaction, making learning both effective and enjoyable.

Through games, challenges, group tasks, and practical exercises, students are constantly involved in the learning process. This approach helps them remember information better, improve their skills faster, and gain confidence in using what they learn. Whether it is solving problems together, completing interactive missions, or competing in friendly challenges, each activity turns learning into an exciting experience rather than a routine task.

My online classes also create a positive and supportive environment where every student feels comfortable expressing ideas and asking questions. Because lessons are interactive, students are never just watching, they are doing, thinking, and creating. This keeps energy levels high and helps students stay focused from start to finish.

If you want to learn in a way that is modern, fun, and effective, these online classes are the perfect choice. Join now and discover how dynamic activities can transform the way you learn, making every lesson something to look forward to. Learning should be an adventure, and here it truly is for everyone today.

My classes are designed for students of all school levels and for non-native Italian-speaking students who want to get started with the language or who intend to improve it.

It will begin with an initial introductory interview, which can also be conducted in other languages if the student doesn't yet feel ready to take it in Italian. Afterwards, you will gradually get into the actual work. Materials prepared by me, designed to fill any gaps, will be used, along with targeted readings and exercises.

The classes will take place in a calm and attentive atmosphere, respecting the times and needs of each!

The goal is to accompany the student on his or her academic journey, helping him or her overcome difficulties and enhance his or her abilities.

While English is now our lingua franca, the are millions of reasons to learn other languages. Every class should be customized on the needs and motivation of the students, each of them with different abilities and learning methods.
Our role, as teachers, is to create for you the most appropriate environment, where to build awareness, new skills, and confidence. Depending on your level, with me, you can learn Italian from the scratch, from basic speaking, reading and writing; and delve deeper in contextual analysis and cultural aspects influencing your language efficiency.

Ciao! Italian culture is pretty admired abroad. As I am italian,I couldn't agree more! I really love my country, and I'm sure you will do, too! Also, italian language is one of the most studied in the world (Not a coincidence, huh?) In my classes we can find a funny and easy way to learn italian not only through language itself, but also through culture and why not, litterature as well.
