Enthusiastic experienced & fully qualified Italian teacher

Ciao!

I am Michela and I come from Rome. I am a professional and qualified language teacher for secondary schools. I have been teaching languages since 2011 to all levels and backgrounds. I funded my own company for Language services' in 2018 in London and in 2021 in Utrecht (Giardino Italiano).

I will be happy to help you either learning from scratch or improving your skills! I am very good at differentiating tasks, and I always work tailoring my lesson on students' level and needs in order to help students to improve. Over the years I have gained experience in teaching students with all types of abilities. I have also experience in working with students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, AHDH, and autism.

I offer different types of courses (standard courses/ grammar through games/ conversation through topics/ conversation through games, music, films, cooking), using different tools and techniques, always trying to make my lessons fun, engaging, and well-structured. Since practice makes perfect, every lesson you will be given homework as independent learning is an extremely important part of the language learning process.

I am very passionate about learning languages and teaching them is just part of my inner-nature. I am a language learner like you, so I know all the struggles you might encounter in your learning journey. I have developed many techniques over the years to overcome difficulties so let me help you!
Moreover, I keep studying and researching psychology-pedagogy and teaching techniques in order to keep my skills up- to -date and to experiment with always new ways to help my students learning to the best of their abilities.

A presto!

Michela

About Me

Hi, my name is Michela and I come from Rome. I am a qualified teacher and have been teaching Italian and other languages since 2011, to all levels and backgrounds.

When I learn a language, I like doing it by having fun and through interesting activities. That is what I want also to achieve when teaching my lessons and creating more interesting lessons became my mission. If you are looking for a grammar driven lesson, this is not the right place as I use a communicative and project based methodology.
My lessons are taught in Italian since the beginning to give you the chance to fully immerse yourself in the language and to learn faster. Don't panic, you just need to trust the method!

I am very passionate about linguistics, language learning, travel, arts, games, music, cinema and theatre, nature, archery among other things.

Italian: grammar and culture with a native speaker
I am a native Italian speaker and I know the struggles of this beautiful language. I aim at providing solid grammar fundamentals to beginners in order to prepare them for both informal conversations and basic writing. Some interesting insights about culture and language will be provided in the attempt to consolidate learning. Shy speakers and beginners won’t fear this language anymore, intermediate and advanced can request focused lectures for improving writing, speaking or vocabulary. Vi aspetto!

I've been teaching Italian for over 5 years, armed with a Double Degree in Languages, plus not one, but two Masters! 🎓 🇮🇹 And here's the ciliegina sulla torta: I just kicked off another Master's in Teaching Italian to Foreigners at Ca Foscari University.

Are you ready to embark on an incredible adventure through the enchanting world of Italy, Italians, and gestures? :-) We begin by assessing your level, goals, and needs. Together, we craft a personalized plan, ensuring that your learning experience is tailored, efficient, and effective. The classes are tailored to suit your individual level, needs, and goals.

Tanya
Italian with a polyglot (8 languages) and Professional teacher(language coach)
Hi! I'm Tanya. I was born in Italy, but for the last two years of my life I have traveled the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East, traveling and working remotely. I am a professional teacher with 7 years of experience. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice. I have a degree in languages, I am certified in international law and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language, but also how to learn new languages! I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills! That's because I love learning new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn! Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way. My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language. My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning. My classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic. GROUP LESSONS possible! See you soon! :-)

Lara
The magnificent ITALIAN language from an Italian girl!
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 21 years old student in Pavia. 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.

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

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

Gemma
Learn and improve to speak Italian with a real Florentine
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.
