Über mich

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.

Hello everyone,

after successfully obtaining my French Baccalauréat and a Bachelor's Degree in Cinema (Licence) with High Honors, I am currently working at the Institut Français in Duesseldorf, where I did a seminar to become examiner for the French DELF tests. I also work with schools and promote this language to a young public, and therefore developed a high pedagogical quality during this last year.

I am therefore ready to help you in all your needs with this language, which can be quite tough sometimes (think about pronounciation and exceptions to the rules), and which I struggled myself to learn before obtaining a high professional level.

I can prepare you with strategies to understand the structure of the national test and help you successfully pass it, but I can also encourage you to "unblock" your language skills with chill conversation sessions, or more rigorous grammar explanation, while sharing with my suggestions to embrace this enriching culture (be it with films, books, music or art).

Looking forward to help you enjoy - and master - French!
à plus,

Kaoru

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.

It is said that speaking a new language makes you see the world differently. How about trying it "through the Italian glass"? 🔎🍕 I promise, it will be fun! This class is for you if you want to learn how to speak Italian like a native or if you want to travel to Italy and have a wonderful experience by speaking this language!
I have a Master's degree in Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language and I also work in a language school based in Rome. In my class, I use a communicative approach so that you will start speaking from the get go! You will learn grammar, vocabulary, useful and idiomatic expressions (and of course, Italian gestures 🤌🏻) in a dynamic and effortlessly way. Speaking will cover the main part of the program but art, history, custom and traditions will also play an important role throughout your journey!
Feel free to contact me to ask some information about the course!

Ciao a tutti!

My name is Chiara and I'm a qualified italian teacher for foreigners with a DITALS certification taken by the school "Leonardo da Vinci" in Florence. After having passed my exam, I have done an internship in the same school and then I have worked here for a while. During this experience, I had the possibility to work with people from all around the world offering them classes that matched their desires: from A1 to B2. Therefore, more than once I have helped my students to pass the CILS exam, in order to achieve the Italian citizenship. Right now, I'm located in Vienna, but I can offer the lessons also online, of course. Lessons will be prepared based on the students' wishes and objectives. I am really looking forward to meeting you and discovering the fascinating world of the Italian language together :)

Hi! I'm here to help you move beyond the textbook and genuinely speak Italian, French, or English.
I focus on practical, communicative fluency. My goal isn't just to teach you rules; it's to get you using the language confidently in real-world scenarios, whether you're traveling, working, or just connecting with new people.

My lessons are fully customized to you, no matter your age or current level. I enjoy working with everyone, from young students just starting out to adults pursuing professional fluency. We won't just study grammar; we will dive into conversational practice and focus heavily on natural pronunciation and the correct flow of speech used by native speakers. This hands-on method ensures that everything we learn is immediately useful.

I'm excited to share my passion for these languages and help you achieve your fluency goals.

I grew up abroad, studied in English, and have always worked in English-speaking environments. Over the years, I’ve led teams, coached individuals, and offered private sessions on various topics — including conversational English.

In schools, there’s often a strong focus on grammar, which is important, but not enough time is spent just talking. To really improve a language, you need space to speak freely, make mistakes, and have fun — and that’s exactly what I offer.

I can teach in English or Italian, and the sessions are relaxed, empathetic, and fully tailored to you. We can chat about everyday life, hobbies, travel, work — anything you like — and do exercises, reading, listening, or vocabulary practice if you want.

One of my favorite moments was working with my 12- and 13-year-old niece and nephew in Italy. They started off a little shy, but over time their confidence and English improved so much that when we traveled to the US last year, we could all converse easily and have fun with it.

The sessions are fun, stress-free, and flexible — your pace, your topics, your learning. Let’s practice together and enjoy the journey to more confident English (or Italian!) conversation.
