Passionate native Italian to teach you authentic ITALIANO!

This class is aiming for confident Italian speakers and practice is the best way to improve language fluency.
My students and I love to split each class into two parts: the first half generally focused on grammar (foundations are crucial) and the second always dedicated to speaking activities and conversation.
We'll talk about a number of different topics and share content and ideas while having lots of fun.

Classes will be in English, hopefully in Italian :)

Please contact me for a tailored learning program designed on your needs!

Nice person, very empathic
Great teacher! Fortunella makes the learning environment fun and interactive, while also giving good explanations and exercises.
Fortunella has been a wonderful and energetic tutor! Aside from vocabulary words and verb conjugation, I’ve learned a lot about the culture and received various recommendations for Italian movies, shows, and songs. I’ve had such a great experience since she could pinpoint my weaknesses so that I could improve much faster. Grazie mille!

I learned vocabulary, verbs, how to read and pronounce correctly... we talked about culture, society, travel... the topics were endless! My Italian isn't perfect but I really learned and improved so much that I can't believe it. I'm happy to have met you, thank you for your dedication every day, I look forward to returning to class with you! ---------------------------- Fortunella is simply FANTASTIC, both personal and professionally speaking...

Lilya
Tutoring for primary and secondary school | Homework support
Need extra support with one or more subjects, help with planning homework or learn how to best prepare for that one difficult test (week) that is coming up? I'd love to help you! Learning in a way that suits you is central during the tutoring/homework guidance. During the tutoring sessions we can look for a way of learning and planning that works best for you, so that you can get started in the lessons and also have the tools to continue with this yourself afterwards. The most important thing is that you understand the material and can get started with confidence! I am 18 years old, just finished 6th grade and have experience tutoring different ages. I completed the Culture & Society profile with Greek and Latin and followed bilingual education and lessons according to the IB-English program. I can also give the tutoring lessons in English, if that is your preference. Want to know more about me? Please take a look at my profile! Areas I can help you with: Primary school: Students from any group are welcome for tutoring in all subjects/topics or to prepare for a (cito) test. I can practice with your child with the material taught at school, practice for CITO tests, explain what your child does not yet understand and improve the general skills required within a particular subject in a fun and educational way. Whether this is language, arithmetic or reading comprehension, I am happy to help your child understand it better and find pleasure in the subject that may still be difficult! Secondary school: - Dutch up to vwo 6 - English: up to VWO 6 - Art: up to VWO 6 - Latin: up to and including VWO 3 - Geography: up to VWO 5 - History: up to VWO 5 - Mathematics: up to VWO 3 For both primary and secondary school I also offer homework support, where I can help with planning making and/or learning work. Sometimes it is still complicated to get an overview and create structure in all the work, I like to tackle this with the student in the way that suits him/her best. Do you have any questions or would you like to book a tutoring lesson right away? Please send a message!

Elena
Offers help with: German, English, Sociology, History, Reading, Writing
As a student who graduated from the European School, I have gained a lot of knowledge in different languages. Having learnt Greek, German, English, French, and even a bit of Italian, I have become familiar with the ways and mechanisms of teaching a language. I have always been passionate about writing and believe a lot in the importance of writing abilities to help individuals mentally, and the same counts for speaking and reading. Language is a form of self-expression that is of utmost importance to life, and I believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn these skills. Additionally, as a political science student at the University of Amsterdam, I offer help with history and sociology lessons, having studied both these subjects with a lot of passion for many years. I am a very patient person and approach these lessons with excitement and a lot of joy, but most importantly, with passion. Seeing people grow in their skills is very important to me, especially seeing how happy they are with themselves.

Additionally, I hold the position of president at the Astronomy Society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments. As an educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am. Are you curious about how nature works? Let's explore together!

Math tutoring for children: I will make your children excited about math
My perspective is that if a child enjoys learning, they are the most motivated and most successful. Therefore, I try to teach in a way that the children actually enjoy and are excited about coming to my tutoring. I really enjoy teaching and I believe that sometimes kids just need more encouraging words and playful ways to learn.

Derek
Oxford & Cambridge University Interview Prep Course
Have you been invited to interview at Oxford or Cambridge this coming autumn? Congratulations! Oxbridge interviews are the make-or-break stage in acceptance into one of these two top-tier universities, and they require a significant amount of preparation and know-how in order to succeed. Having successfully secured a place for myself to study English Language & Literature at the University of Oxford in 2015, and having been subsequently invited to pursue a Master's degree in English literature on scholarship, I am versed in the intricacies and expectations of the interview process for a range of disciplines. I work with students across a series of sessions to hone their understanding of what's expected of them during the interview process, to identify their particular strengths and improve on their weakness, and to practice extemporaneous speaking and timed essay-writing and test-taking. Each course is designed with the candidate in mind, and I can outline a recommended number of sessions and their contents based on an initial session.
