Over

Ciao! I’m Alberica, a certified CEDILS Italian teacher from Northern Italy with over five years of experience teaching students of all ages—both in person and online. I’m passionate about languages and helping others discover the beauty of Italian in a natural, enjoyable way.

My teaching style is student-centered and flexible: I tailor each lesson to your goals, interests, and pace. From day one, I encourage real-life conversation while integrating grammar and vocabulary organically. Lessons are dynamic and interactive, with role plays, situational dialogues, and structured reading, listening, and writing activities to keep you motivated and confident.

I love using multimedia resources—songs, short videos, articles, and games—to make learning fun and authentic. You’ll learn in a relaxed and welcoming environment, where I provide continuous feedback to help you track your progress and celebrate your success.

Learning Italian opens doors to new cultures, experiences, and opportunities. Let’s make your learning journey exciting and effective together!

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy traveling, reading, going to the theatre or cinema, dancing flamenco, and practicing tai chi. I’m currently studying Greek and Arabic, so I understand firsthand the joy and challenges of learning a new language.

Ciao ! Je m’appelle Francesco et je vis en Belgique depuis 2018. Je viens d’une petite ville de Ligurie, dans le nord de l’Italie, et je suis actuellement en train de terminer un doctorat en philosophie. Depuis plusieurs années, je donne des cours particuliers à des personnes qui souhaitent apprendre l'italien pour des raisons professionnelles ou simplement par plaisir. J’ai également donné deux cours dans une école en Flandre : un cours classique axé sur la grammaire et le vocabulaire, ainsi qu’un cours de conversation destiné à des étudiants plus avancés. Selon ton niveau, nous pouvons consacrer une heure à faire connaissance, à parler de nos vies, de nos centres d’intérêt et de nos expériences — bref, de tout ce que tu souhaites. Je peux aussi préparer de courtes vidéos que nous regarderons et discuterons ensemble afin d’améliorer ta compréhension et d’enrichir ton vocabulaire. Et lorsque cela s’avère nécessaire, nous pourrons nous concentrer plus précisément sur la grammaire et la construction des phrases. Nous déciderons ensemble de la meilleure manière d’avancer. N’hésite pas à me contacter si tu es intéressé ! A presto!

As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing.

Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing.
We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis.
We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them.
In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!

Hi! I'm Tanya.
I was born in Italy, but for the last two years of my life I have traveled the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East, traveling and working remotely.
I am a professional teacher with 6 years of experience. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.
I have a degree in languages, I am certified in international law and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language, but also how to learn new languages!
I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!
That's because I love learning new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.
My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language.
My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning.
My classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic.
GROUP LESSONS possible!
See you soon! :-)

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!

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.

Me as a Teacher

I have many years of experience. I have always been a language teacher. I love teaching and meeting new students. During my career, I have met students of different nationalities from different cultures. I think that is amazing! :)
I have lived in many countries in Europe so I know how important it is to speak foreign languages.

My lessons & teaching style
I have been teaching languages for 15 years and in the last 5 years I have been an online tutor. I think it is a fantastic way to help students and it is really convenient for students too avoiding commuting from and to the teacher
I always pay close attention to that all materials, videos, podcasts , worksheets, articles and texts should be the most up- to- date. In the first lesson we always clarify the students' needs and goals with the language as well as assessing the individual levels.

Speak with Precision, Understand with Depth: The Linguist’s Approach to Italian

Why settle for simply learning Italian when you can learn it with the insight of a linguistic expert? My unique lessons combine the practical goal of achieving native-level fluency with the intellectual depth of linguistic theory.

As both an Italian language and Linguistics specialist, I don't just teach you what to say, I teach you the underlying principles of why it is said that way. This accelerated approach allows you to master complex grammar and vocabulary faster and retain it longer, building a truly flexible and powerful command of the language.

You will master: Elegant Italian communication; sophisticated analysis of texts and discourse; and the ability to leverage linguistic principles to make language learning efficient, enjoyable, and profound.
