Italian classes in Rotterdam! For advanced, intermediate and beginner :)

I was born in Japan and moved to Italy from a young age, but I always practiced Japanese at home and regularly went to Japan for summer study programs.
During my undergraduate studies in France, I started teaching part-time Japanese and Italian.


Last year, I was studying at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, where I had the chance to work as a teacher again, together with some translation and interpreting services.
I am very passionate about helping people with language learning processes and sharing with my students my knowledge of my two cultures!

That's why I believe that language classes should follow the student's personality, interests, and objectives :) I am also prepared to assist for official language tests.

When teaching, my main interest is always "how can I help you more"!
Feel free to contact me!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Ayumi

How about learning Portuguese through Brazilian culture? As a Brazilian living in the Netherlands and a heritage professional, I believe in the power of learning through music, history, and myths.

I give private English lessons to beginners and intermediate students. I have experience with teaching children and adults.

I would also give assignments for the student to do outside of the class if they want.

Italian Lessons for Beginners, High School Students, University Students and Enthusiasts
Do you want to learn Italian from scratch? Are you already familiar with the basics, but you want to bring your knowledge to the next level? Do you need help for an exam? For these or similar needs I have very structured methods that might be just perfect for you. The assignments or tasks are always based on the main goal which is becoming confident with speaking, writing and reading in real life situations. I'm originally trained as an educator for children and I love teaching trough games and creativity. This is of course also applicable for adults or students on a higher level. To have fun during the learning process is the most important thing for me.

Mara
Italian, German or Turkish lessons for whosoever desires
Hello everyone, I am Mara, 24 years old master's student in Arts, Culture and Society, currently living in Rotterdam. Originally, I was born in Germany from a Turkish-German mother and an italian father : that's why I speak fluently Italian, German and Turkish. Additionally, I have an excellent level of English, thanks to having been attended both a bachelor and a master entirely taught in English. For anyone interested in any of those 4 languages, I would like to share my linguistic knowledge with you, leading you not only to learn the language but also the surrounding culture, in a creative way tailored to your personal needs and expectations. Be curious and do not hesitate to contact me for any info or doubt. Looking forward to meeting you. Mara

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

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 !!

Zhou
Guzheng-Ancient Chinese Instrument-Chinese music performance
Hi, This is Zhou, an enthusiastic lover of ancient Chinese culture and a part-time Guzheng performer. I have taken part in several art projects in the Netherlands supported by prestigious funding bodies such as Mondriaan Fonds, Amsterdam Fond voor de Kunst, Fonds Podiumkunsten, among others. Guzheng is an instrument that is easy to start with but gets difficult with higher level. I hope to bring the joy of playing this meditative instrument to more people internationally.
