    (Online and face to face) Speak Italian, Cook Italian, Go Italian! Experienced teacher of Italian language and cooking

    All the Italian you know is pasta, pizza and arrivederci? Guess what? That's a good starting point!

    Weather you want to learn Italian or to learn how to cook the world-famous Italian food to impress friends and loved ones, I can help you to achieve your purposes.

    I am a teacher of Italian with almost 2 years of experience and cooking is my passion since I was very young.
    I am from the South of Italy and food for us is much more than just feeding ourselves. Food in Italy is an amazing culture with a lot of variety from North to South. Through cooking you can travel a lot, discovering traditions, typical products and a millenary culture just staying at your place.

    We can discuss your aims and arrange language classes only or also cooking classes so you can practice the language while learning new skills!

    I am a very patient teacher and able to adjust my teaching approach to learners, depending on your starting level, your interests, your time. My teaching method is communicative, based on authentic material and aimed to help you start speaking, even just few simple words, right away!

    About Me

    Maybe because my mother is a teacher or because I simply love studying, teaching was always a part of me and since when I was in primary school it was natural for me to help my peers to learn! Still today people tell me I am very good at explaining difficult concepts in a clear and simple way! I had the same feedback from my students, when I was a teacher of Italian in schools, so I really believe I will be a full time teacher in my next life! :)

    After a time as a teacher of Italian in Melbourne (Australia), with great feedback from my supervisor, I decided to attend a specific course to make my teaching method professional. That worked greatly when I was a teacher of Italian later back home.
    That's why during my language meetings, we will use authentic and every day life material, which is the best door to access a new language and we will follow the natural learning mechanism of our brain to study rules and grammar.

    I know how difficult can be to learn a new language: I travelled a lot so I experienced this difficulty and I really appreciated people who helped me to learn. That's what I try to do when I work as a teacher: put myself in other people's shoes and find the best way to make it easy!

    I am passionate with Italian culture, language, food, traditions that's why I've decided to offer also cooking classes because it's the best way to enter into the Italian way of life!
    I am really happy to share my personal and professional knowledge to help other people to grow in an enthusiastic way!

    Learn Italian from a Roman artist in Rotterdam - order your coffee like a pro
    Ciao! I have been teaching Italian for the past twelve years. I have taught privately and at language schools like La Scuola Italiana del Greenwich Village in New York and ItalCultura, the school of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago. During the first few lessons I will make sure you have the tools to pronounce and identify all the sounds of the Italian language. This step is essential! And it will make everything easier afterwards. When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling. When you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words. I will customize my materials to your interests, needs and desired pace. And because you are learning from a native Italian you will also learn about Italian culture and history. You will absorb a way of thinking, not just grammar rules. I speak a bunch of languages so I know a thing or two about how tedious language classes can be. My terrifying French teacher in middle school made us repeat the same fake dialogue from a really bad book ad nauseam, over and over and over again. Some of those dialogues are carved in my brain: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Richard Drapeau, je viens du Canada, je suis Canadien…” When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling and we will go on “talking walks” because when you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words. I hold a degree in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (Foreign Languages and Literatures) from Università Roma Tre (equivalent to an American MA) and a Master’s of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media from Columbia College Chicago. I wrote a thesis about translating a long epic poem by W. H. Auden and I tried to ride a horse across America.

    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!

    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 !!

    Online private lessons in Italian language, culture and lifestyle. All levels. Master of Arts Leiden University, Ditals I.
    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 does not feel comfortable using Italian from scratch, I can switch to English, German or Dutch. The course comprises the correction of home assignments.
