Italian and Portuguese for Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced Learners

From 20 € /h

The Italian language is complex but interesting to learn. So is Portuguese (Brazilian and European).

I am available for teaching to any prospective student, at any level, considering I am a native speaker of both idioms, as well as of the English language. My classes are offered in English and I have quite a flexible schedule.

If you are interested to learn new, Latin-derived languages, feel free to contact me!

Due to the Covid-19 pandemics, I will primarily deliver lessons online. However, if you have a preference for physical contact, then we can find a compromise (with no variation on the lesson cost shown below).

In the first lesson, you can evaluate whether the classes are for you or not.

I am quite flexible in terms of time/cost!

About Me

I am a Psychology student in the Netherlands. I have been teaching language (italian, english, and portuguese) for years now, as a side job. I would like to offer my private tutoring for students in need of it, as I understand learning languages is not an easy task at times.

I am an understanding and flexible guy, I try to use psychological, teaching-related, techniques in my classes, and I just wish to help others with learning!

Learn How To Play Piano Or Improve Your Piano Skills

30 € /h

As many musical instruments, piano tells a story, expresses emotional experiences, communicates desires and wishes.

This class is for people (teenagers, young adults, or adults) who have always had the passion for piano but never had the opportunity to learn how to play. This class is also for those who simply want to improve their piano skills, going from a beginner to intermediate level.

This class has two major focuses:

1. For beginners: main focus on on piano practice, learning new songs with incremental difficulty, and understanding of the music sheet.

2. For intermediates: main focus on intermediate/advanced songs with in depth comprehension of the music sheet.

Skills you will acquire:

1. Beginners: you will learn how to play basic piano songs and obtain a basic knowledge of the music sheet.

2. Intermediates: you will learn how to play more complex songs and obtain a more advanced comprehension of the music sheet. Furthermore, you will learn the basis for piano music composition.

I want this class to keep students challenged, but absolutely not overwhelmed. So, I will evaluate the few homeworks that I assign after every session and provide constructive feedbacks, in order for you to better learn.

Hello! My name is Mimi. I am a native speaker, and I teach Italian and English. I have a bachelor's degree - Italian and art history teacher.
I am an experienced teacher who uses all modern methods.

I think it is important to take the personal wishes of my students into account when drawing up a curriculum. Everyone learns with a specific goal and with the help of a tailor-made program this goal is best achieved. For example, it is possible to focus on Italian grammar or on speaking skills or to have all aspects (reading, listening, speaking and writing skills) come back.

I am an Italian student that can help you in several ways. Firstly, being Italian, I can be of great use for learning the language, the grammar, the pronunciation and about the culture. This goes along with my second ability that is of cooking Italian recipes.
Then I come from a scientific liceum that was specialized in mathematical and scientific courses, which makes me know high-school mathematics
The Italian cooking book is really varied and it is worldwide famous for its tastiness. Since I was little I had a passion for cooking, making me able to teach you how to cook different meals, form the antipasti to the desserts, including primo, secondo and other specialities.

I was born in Italy and i live there. I would like to teach people who are willing to learn this beautiful language because I know how difficult it could be to study it. I can give support in doing homework but it is also important to me to give conversation lessons. I can also explain different aspects of Italian culture especially art and food.

Altijd al een cursus Italiaans willen volgen? Verba Italica geeft Italiaanse taal- en cultuurles aan Nederlanders die Italiaans willen leren of die om wat voor reden dan ook geïnteresseerd zijn in Italië.

I am a professional teacher. I was born in Italy, and since 2008 I have been living in the Netherlands. I studied classical languages (Latin and old Greek), I have got a degree in Politics at the University of Naples, and a Master Ditals (teaching the Italian language for foreign students) in Amsterdam. Since 2008 I have been working as a teacher in many different schools as well as in companies. I have work experience also in helping with test preparation. In my classes, I deal with grammar and conversation (everyday and business conversation). I also studied music (piano) at Conservatorio and I love Opera, so I can help people who study Italian music. I give lessons at all levels, for beginners and for advanced. I speak English and Dutch. Feel free to contact me!
