Italian classes in Groningen: Try a class for free

CIAO a tutti! Hello everybody! I'm Giuliana,  a qualified Italian teacher with more than 15 years experience.

I’m a native Italian from sunny southern Italy and I hold a Degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures and Ditals II Level (Certificate of advanced skills in Teaching Italian to Foreigners). I am also a CILS Certification examiner 

I have students of all ages and I travel very often to prepare them for Italian language proficiency certifications (Cils, Celi, Roma 3) for exams and B1 Certificate for Italian Citizenship.  

I taught in Turkey (Istanbul), in Perù (Lima) and in Togo (Lomè) to children, university students and adult people who love Italian language and culture.

My lessons are specifically based on your needs and goals  and designed to enable you to COMMUNICATE in situations which you are likely to encounter in Italy. They are stimulating and interactive and organized in a relaxed environment in which learning feels like a natural process.

I chose to teach online because I love to share my knowledge and culture with people from all around the world. I love my students and I always provide constant SUPPORT and assistance. If we work together, you will speak in a fluent  way and you will feel confident in your communication with others.

I wait for you!

A presto,

Giuliana

Hi everyone, I am Anna and I am a professional Italian teacher for foreigners. I come from Venice where I live and work. I can help you in the study of modern Italian as it is really spoken nowadays. I am a bilingual Italian and English teacher and a freelance translator at Ca' Foscari University in Venice. I completed the ITALS Master's degree for teaching Italian language and culture to foreigners. My field of specialization and current research is Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics to better understand what happens in our brains and minds when we study a foreign language and what emotions are involved. I specialize in teaching adults and seniors and am currently studying in a Psychology course at Yale University. I also have a CEDILS certification to teach Italian culture abroad. I have been teaching Italian and English since 2004. I work with students from diverse backgrounds and my classes are for anyone who wants to improve and deepen communication, grammar, vocabulary and reading.

I always pay attention to your needs no matter what your level is. We will work on your confidence because we are all students and I know how difficult it is when you can't find the words to express what you are thinking and feeling. My lessons are all customizable because I think every student is different and has their own personal way of learning. I will be so happy to work with you and help you reach your goals.

I am also a podcaster, the host of "Una Storia ItaliAnna," a podcast channel you can find here on LanguaTalk at the podcast page. You can also visit my YouTube channel and buy my books on Amazon to practice the Italian language.

When I am not teaching, I travel. I lived in London for a while and also in Liverpool while I was writing my dissertation. I also speak Spanish, so I am also a language student and understand very well how difficult it is to study a language.

So what are you waiting for? Book a trial lesson and we'll figure out together how I can help you!

 I was born and raised in the North West of Italy.

My name is Lucrezia and currently I live in Barcelona.

I'm Italian and have studied first in Italy, completing a Bachelor Degree in International Communication and then in Germany obtaining a Master of Arts in Communication at Duisburg-Essen University.

I have experience in teaching Italian both in classes and online for all levels, from beginner to advanced and for all ages from child to adult.

The languages I speak are Italian, German, English and Spanish.

My approach to teaching is using the direct method of teaching, where the students are encouraged to speak in the target language in real contexts or about real topics. I love teaching as it enables me to share my passion for communication, share ideas, see the students grow in knowledge and skills and above all have fun!

If you would like to learn Italian with me, please book a trial with me!

Thank you! Grazie!

Hi everybody!

My name is Margherita, I am from Milan, I am living in Tenerife now and I have been an Italian teacher for 7 years.

My motto is: if you are a polyglot, you can do anything!

I personally speak fluently both Spanish and English as I have worked and lived in Ireland, Australia and Bolivia, before moving to the Canarian Islands.

What do I offer to my students?

- conversation classes on any subject at any level (from 0 to C1)

- professionalism and fun (how can you learn if you are bored?)

- material adapted to your needs

- links on which keep practicing online

- the opportunity to learn Italian for pleasure, tourism or work

- fluency in Italian and in pronunciation

- comparison with English to understand the differences between the 2 languages

- a humanistic-affective approach which is student-centred

- if you want, lessons with other people

- and why not? if you want, even a friend

I graduated in Linguistic and Cultural Mediation in Milan in 2013 and afterwards I achieved the Master Itals aimed at teaching the Italian language and culture to foreigners.

I have taught Italian for four years in La Paz, Bolivia by the SOCIETà DANTE ALIGHIERI, giving classes to adults and university students, while I have taught to kids and adolescents by the Colegio Italo-Boliviano of the same city.

I returned to Italy in 2019 and I was given the opportunity to teach Italian through the Berlitz school by the Leonardo Elicotteri Company, addressing to English managers and engineers.

As regards my teaching method, the student is the centre of the learning process.

Therefore I customize my lessons considering your interests and the topics you want to talk about using different materials like videos, songs, online activities, along with written texts.

This way lessons are based especially on CONVERSATION as I think that each language's goal is to communicate.

So let's start with a talk on the trial lesson to know each other and see which goals you want to reach and by when, then together we choose the path to follow, considering your needs.

Hi, my name is Chiara and I’m from Italy, but I lived abroad for about 6 years, in the UK, in Australia, in New Zealand and in Perù. 

I love traveling and meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. That’s why I decided to study languages. I am a polyglot and besides English and Italian, I can also speak Spanish, French, and German. So I know what it’s like to study a foreign language! I can teach you how to improve your speaking, and your listening, because I’ve done it myself in the first place! I also know that sometimes learning a language is not easy, but I know how you can overcome these difficulties. 

My lessons vary according to the student’s needs. During our first lesson together we will decide what your goals are and what your level is. My lessons focus on conversation to give you a chance to practise what you have studied independently, and then, if needed, we can revise together some grammar points and learn some vocabulary.

My first goal is always to make the student feel comfortable in speaking another language so that they can feel confident about it and make progress more easily. 

I believe the secret to learning a language is enjoying the process, having fun is the key!

I look forward to meeting you,

A presto!

I am Italian but I did my university in Scotland where I studied BA Economics. I love teaching in general and I love the contact with people: I was Italian tutor for international students, sports coach, and environmental projects assistant. I have a high sense of empathy and very good communication skills as well as listening skills. My teaching method is based on listening the needs and peculiarities of each student: some might want to focus on conversation, some on grammar, on a mix of everything, or on the preparation of a specific exam. I try to make every lesson fun and enjoyable. On top of the academic resources that I use, there are always more "informal" ones, including Italian songs, TV shows, recipes, etc... which will give you a sense of the Italian culture as well. 

Hello everyone! 

My name is Simona and I live in Italy. I have many years of experience in teaching both English and Italian to foreign students of all ages, background and nationalities. I am very pleased when students are able to achieve their goals and pass their examinations. I feel confident in my communication skills so that my students learn how to write fluent, precise and grammatical language in an appropriate formal register. I also have significant experience in teaching and over the years I have developed excellent interpersonal, organizational and analytical skills.

I look forward to meeting you!  Ciao from Italy!

Hello!  

My name is Ilaria and I studied International Communication at "University for Foreigners of Perugia", but don't worry (in Italian we would say "tranquillo"), I'm 100% italian!

I have a certification of competence in teaching Italian as a foreign language or second language (CEDILS) issued by the Ca' Foscari University of Venice.

My first experience in teaching Italian as a second language was in 2009 in the south of France.

Once back in Italy I began teaching Italian to foreign students at school...it was 2010.

I've been doing it since then and my students come from all over the world. Today I know for sure that is not enough to be a "native" to teach someone a language.

Grammar is often considered boring but we can't avoid learning it. Only when you know the role and function of every single word in a sentence you'll have a solid understanding that will improve your confidence in speaking a foreign language.  

It's like to lay the foundations for building a house!

So, what can I do for you?

I can make my experience and knowledge available to you and make your learning process easier and faster without forgetting that it should be also pleasant and enjoyable.

If you're not a beginner we can better explore the language and see together all its nuances.

We can concentrate on lexicon, common expressions, pronunciation and much more.

I'll guide you but first of all your needs will guide me to trace the path in reaching our common objective!

Do not hesitate if you have any questions. I'll be happy to answer you.

Thank you for your time!

I hope to see you soon at the trial lesson!
