Italian Conversation for Expats Living in Italy (Legal documents, public administration...)

Àpd 39 € /h

This class is designed for expats living in Italy who want to improve their Italian through real-life conversations and everyday situations, including navigating Italian bureaucracy and public services.
We focus on practical spoken Italian used in daily life, such as talking to doctors, landlords, colleagues, university staff, and dealing with public offices, Poste Italiane, online portals, and administrative procedures. Lessons are conversation-based, relaxed, and adapted to each student’s level and needs.
The goal is to help students feel confident speaking Italian in real situations, understand cultural habits, and communicate clearly, even in complex or stressful contexts like bureaucracy. Grammar and vocabulary are introduced naturally and always connected to practical use.

Présentation

I am a Master’s student in Semiotics and Communication with a strong interest in language, culture, and contemporary Italian society.
My teaching style is relaxed, interactive, and culture-based: I believe people learn languages better when they understand how and why a language is used in real life, not only through grammar rules.
In my lessons, we work with songs, media, pop culture, current affairs, and social debates (from Sanremo to politics, from everyday habits to major cultural phenomena) to improve Italian naturally and in context.
I adapt each lesson to the student’s level and interests, keeping them challenged but never overwhelmed.
I enjoy teaching curious students, absolute beginners as well as learners who want to go beyond textbook Italian and understand the country, its culture, and the way people really speak.

Learn Italian Through Music, Media and Current Affairs

28 € /h

Learn Italian Through Italian Culture is a class designed for students who want to improve their Italian through songs, films, social phenomena, media, and everyday cultural references.
Instead of focusing only on grammar, we learn Italian by exploring how the language is actually used in real life.
You will learn vocabulary, expressions, and grammar in context, while discovering Italian culture and contemporary society. My goal is to keep students challenged but not overwhelmed, adapting lessons to each level.
Absolute beginners are welcome; lessons are flexible, engaging, and tailored to your interests.

Italian Conversation Through Media & Current Affairs

34 € /h

This class is designed for students who want to practice spoken Italian through real conversations about media, news, and contemporary Italian society.
Instead of artificial dialogues, we talk about what Italians actually discuss today: songs, TV shows, social media trends, current events, politics, and cultural debates. Each lesson is structured but flexible, adapting to the student’s level and interests.
My goal is to help students speak more confidently, expand vocabulary, and improve fluency, while also understanding the cultural context behind the language. Corrections are gentle and constructive, focusing on clarity and natural expression rather than perfection.
This is a conversation-based class, but grammar and expressions are explained when needed and always in context.

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.

- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living between Pisa and Rome. I have 10 years of teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests, and availability of the student. I can offer students private accommodation in Pisa, a comfortable private apartment in the historic center of the city, a short walk from my home.

- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and putting the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course, and for each lesson, I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also, the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

👋🏼 Hello! I'm Francesca. Do you want to learn or improve your Italian?
No problem, more than 300 students have studied with me and learned while having fun. I started teaching at 19 thanks to the director of my high school and I have more than 15 years of experience, in Italy and abroad, all over the world thanks to the internet.
I offer online Italian courses for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, i.e., C2. I always have quality reference books to recommend to students.
My classes are highly personalized and tailored to the specific needs of each student. I guarantee quality because I put a lot of passion and care into everything I do, trying not to overlook the details.

🚀 During the lessons, I will help you learn the basics of general Italian, paying attention to pronunciation and intonation while reading. I am always attentive to the needs of the students and ready to tailor my lessons. My lessons are an investment for the present and the future because they are prepared with passion, a lot of experience, and dedication 🧡.

🌟 If you are a beginner, don't worry because I take great care to make you feel comfortable.

➡️ I work on different levels: conversation on different topics, grammar, reading, writing, dictation and games (role-playing games in which the student can test himself by communicating in a natural and practical way with the teacher, as in real life).
In addition, preparation for official language certificates (CELI, CILS, PLIDA), the Swiss maturity exam, apprenticeship as a commercial employee CFC and tailor-made courses in a certain professional field.
➡️ All levels: A1-C2

Des cours d'Italien sur mesure.
Je donne des cours de ma langue maternelle aux jeunes qui ont besoin d'un soutien scolaire et à tous ceux qui ont envie d'apprendre l'italien.
La relation de confiance que j'arrive à créer avec les élèves donne toujours des bons résultats.
Patiente et toujours de bonne humeur je m'adapte aux demandes des élèves: conversation, lecture, grammaire, vocabulaire, tout peut être abordé, parce que mon but est de rendre l'apprentissage de l'italien très agréable et surtout productif, afin que les progrès soient visibles rapidement.

Hello everybody! My name is Isabelle and I have been a French teacher for several years. I have an A2 Baccalaureate, I have worked in several companies and in several places, in particular in Monte-Carlo and Algiers when I was in marketing at ABB. Currently I live between Nice (France) and Milan (Italy) where I give French lessons to Italians who require either academic support or to improve their level in preparation for the DELF or DALF. The first lesson is to assess your level and to know yourself.
Please feel free to contact me for anything.
Thank you and see you soon! Isabelle

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 do not feel comfortable using Italian from scratch, I can switch to English, German, or Dutch. The course fee includes the correction of home assignments.

I offer Italian lessons for adults using a specific, very lively and effective method that will allow you to understand, read books in Italian, watch films in the original version and above all to express yourself quickly, with a solid grammatical foundation, in everyday life, but also to have rich conversations with your interlocutors.
Possibility of face-to-face or video lessons, at your convenience, knowing that my video lessons are just as interactive and lively as in person.

I am collaborating with academies and agencies such as Piccolo Moresco, Kleinson, Beacon, Language Solutions, Idiomas Sin Fronteras, Chalmore, Daniel's Centre, One2One, IMAN, Agioglobal, etc., but I am always looking for new challenges and projects in good training centers where I can share knowledge.
Among my students: JCDECAUX, IDEALISTA, SACYR, LIBERTY SEGUROS, MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS, REFINITIV, NICOLÁS CORREA, SARTORIUS, INFORMATICA, ROOM MATE, THE NPD GROUP, AESICA-PHARMA, HERBERT SMITH FREEHILLS, COLPLAST (IVECO), CARESTREAM, and several ICEX scholarship students.
In addition, I successfully prepared 15 private students for CILS, CELI and PLIDA exams at various levels.
I have a reference grammar book, but I know almost all the ones on the market, and I adapt to the students' needs.
In fact, I like to highlight the key aspects of our work, the 7 Ps:
Patience, Professionalism, Preparation, Passion, Personalization, Perseverance, Punctuality.

Teaching style
I prefer a hybrid style because there is no single method for everyone; I apply a specific methodology to all learners with different objectives and learning needs. I like to encourage students to self-correct and to practice structures through both writing and conversation. I offer conversation, listening, reading, and writing classes.
