Professional Italian teacher, 10 years experience teaching online
CIAO a tutti! Hi everyone! I'm Giuliana, a professional Italian teacher with 16 years of experience (10 online).
I was born in sunny southern Italy, and I hold a Degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures and the DITALS II certification (an advanced qualification for teaching Italian to foreigners).
I have taught in Turkey, Peru, and Togo, to children, university students, migrants, and adults of all ages—and I've personally experienced what it's like to start life in a new country without knowing the language. That's why I truly understand what my students go through, not just linguistically but on a human level.
I place great importance on building a solid grammatical foundation, but culture, traditions, and the Italian way of life matter just as much to me—and above all, practical conversation. My goal is to help you COMMUNICATE with confidence in real-life situations you'll encounter in Italy: at the market, at the bank, with neighbors, or over coffee with new friends. I especially love working with students who want to reconnect with their Italian roots, prepare for the B1 citizenship exam, or build a deeper connection with Italy — whether they're planning to relocate or buy a home there.
I'm a warm and patient teacher: my students often tell me they never feel pressure during lessons. I've met some of them in person in Italy, and others have even hosted me in their homes, in their own countries—that's the kind of connection that grows when lessons become more than just grammar.
Together, we won't just work on your Italian—we'll help you feel truly at home in Italy.
I'm looking forward to meeting you!
See you soon,
Giuliana

Michela D
Qualified Italian teacher for all ages and levels, with over a decade of experience.
My teaching approach relies on practice and immersion in the language, through conversation and consumption of multiple medias (music, movies, books).
My main focus is making my students able to communicate and interact as soon as possible, so that they can enjoy their language-learning journey instead of just studying and waiting for a long time before they can actually use what they learned.
During our encounters we will talk, write and practice, intertwining the formal learning of grammar and vocabulary with the more entertaining usage of each skill you will acquire.
No matter the level you begin with, from first basic interactions to formal high-level discussions, we can work together to improve your skills and proficiency.
I am skilled and professional, but also flexible and easy-going.
My interests are mainly of the nerd-ish persuasion, such as fantasy and sci-fi novels, movies and series, boardgames, RPGs and suchlike.
I love learning new things and discovering old classics with my friends and my students, and this is mainly why I got my degree in philosophy and studied many different topics on my own.

Professional Italian and English teacher with 10 years of experience
Hi! My name is Gerardo. I currently support students with their goals by teaching them Italian and English online.
I am very patient and friendly. Over the years, I have taught all kinds of language learners. I use very effective textbooks for my students. In addition, I like to have conversations. In my opinion, knowing the secrets of everyday language is also important.
I have a Master's Degree in Communication Studies and a Diploma in Management. Moreover, I was awarded a CELTA qualification (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) by the University of Cambridge.
Salve a tutti! Mi chiamo Gerardo e sono un insegnante di madrelingua italiana dal 2013. Al momento supporto studenti di tutto il mondo nell’apprendimento online a qualsiasi livello.
Mi occupo prevalentemente di adulti, anche se ho avuto come studenti adolescenti e qualche bambino. Nelle mie lezioni utilizzo libri di testo, risorse online e tutto quello che potrebbe essere utile per lo studio di una lingua straniera. Avendo molta esperienza, ho raccolto nel tempo parecchi materiali interessanti ed efficaci. Inoltre, allo studio della grammatica e del vocabolario, affianco la conversazione. Mi interesso di molti argomenti, dal cinema alla letteratura, dallo sport alla politica, ecc.
Oltre all’italiano, insegno anche l’inglese poiché possiedo la certificazione CELTA dell’Università di Cambridge.

Marcello D
DITALS Certified Italian teacher teaching online since 2016.
Hi, I'm a native Italian teacher living in Salerno, a little city in the south of Italy near the Amalfi Coast.
I have been studying English and Spanish, so I know from experience that learning a language takes time and dedication. My aim is to make this process as pleasant and fun as possible.
I deal with many students around the world by giving language lessons, both in person, in Italian language schools, and online.
My passion for languages and my studies brought me to understand that languages are not just simple codes ruled by grammar norms, but that they are actually used to express ourselves as individuals with different backgrounds and cultures.
Lessons will focus primarily on the conversational aspect of the language by using textbooks and materials (e.g. PDFs, audiofiles, Googledocs) that I use in language schools in Italy.
Since I have the DITALS certification, I can help you pass CELI, PLIDA and CILS exams.
Flexibility will be guaranteed according to the student. All students will be asked to take a placement test that they will have to submit at least 3 days before the first lesson. We will be discussing the results during the fist lesson and then decide how to work together.
Since I also work in language schools, I strongly recommend booking in advance so I can arrange my agenda.
I’m ready, and you?

Scopri di più su di me sul mio sito web: manueldileo.it/italianoL2
Ciao!/Hi/Buenos días/Bom dia/你好/こんにちは!
Mi chiamo Manuel e sono un insegnante di italiano per stranieri.
Ho una laurea triennale in mediazione linguistica e una magistrale in lingue per la cooperazione internazionale, con una tesi di specializzazione in fonetica italiana per stranieri.
Il mio approccio didattico si basa sull'immersione linguistica, il metodo più efficace per imparare una lingua straniera.
A tal fine, non mi limiterò a insegnarti l'italiano durante le nostre ore di lezione, ma ti darò anche consigli per immergerti il più possibile nella lingua anche durante il tuo studio in autonomia.
La prima lezione di prova sarà per me un'occasione per conoscerti e per creare un programma a misura per te, a seconda del tuo livello linguistico attuale, dei motivi per cui vuoi imparare la lingua italiana e i tuoi obiettivi a medio e lungo termine.
Se sei alle prime armi, l'obiettivo sarà imparare a comunicare il prima possibile.
Se sei già a uno stadio più intermedio, l'obiettivo sarà migliorare ogni aspetto della lingua - lettura, scrittura, ascolto, conversazione.
Durante i nostri incontri parleremo, scriveremo e impareremo la grammatica attraverso un approccio pratico e conversazionale.
Inoltre, il mio approccio è anche culturale: affiancheremo l'italiano a una completa immersione nella cultura italiana.
Oltre ad insegnare italiano online, offro anche percorsi intensivi in presenza a chiunque voglia approfondire la lingua e la cultura italiana, con la possibilità di immergersi nella cultura siciliana attraverso percorsi mirati che uniscono cultura e immersione linguistica.

Certified Italian mother tongue teacher
Ciao! I like to think that every student of mine was a challenge in a peculiar way. I have worked with European students abroad, retired professionals, University students in Asia, company employees and teenagers: every time I have found the best way to have fun both, taking advantage of any opportunity to understand my language and my culture!
I'm currently working as an online tutor with beginners, mainly from English speaking countries, who are generally not familiar with the language learning process. I usually help them to get some confidence in facing basic conversations as tourists in the country. I like to engage a fun conversation about different topics like my country's culture, Italian modern literature, art and cinema history due to my solid background in these disciplines. I am also a very curious person, keen to explore new topics, so much that I had eventually supported my students'interests through language practice (for example: reading Italian sport magazines together or watching videos about Italian cuisine).
I really believe that having fun teaching is the first cause for having fun learning.

About Me
Hi everyone, my name is Valerio, and I'm a native Italian speaker born and raised in Turin, Italy.
I love everything related to self-development. I enjoy watching movies, learning languages, and spending time with my family and my friends.
Why choose me? Since I am also a programmer, if you are a perfectionist and you are looking for someone precise, methodical, patient and at the same fun, I could be a good choice! :) If you love philosophy, meditation, introspection, that might be one more reason. I can make you improve with any Italian skill and I will provide you with wide and comprehensive reports at the end of each lesson.
Feel free to book a trial lesson and contact me with any questions you may have. See you soon! :)
Experience
I have been teaching online for 8 years, overall about 4500 lessons with about 130 students.
Teaching Approach
I'm patient and friendly and this will help you talk: the primary and most important reason to take this type of class is to find an opportunity to practice: the more you speak, the more mistakes I can find and the more new expressions and pronunciation tips can be taught.
The content of the class is flexible: students have different backgrounds and learning styles. So we will discuss and set your learning targets to tailor our lessons to your unique needs.
I like you if you speak about what you are interested in: languages are not an end in themselves. While you talk, I write the corrections, and you can see them live, but you are not interrupted, just like talking to a friend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk offer in-person Italian lessons in Arlington?
Some tutors on LanguaTalk may offer local lessons, but most only provide online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. In addition, many tutors do not teach Italian in Arlington as they live elsewhere in the world. If you book a lesson with a tutor, you should assume that it will be online unless the tutor specifically states that they offer in-person lessons in Arlington.
What is the best way to find an Italian tutor near me in Arlington?
If you prefer not to learn online with tutor, LanguaTalk may not be the right choice for you. Instead, you can search for tutor, we recommend giving online learning a try as it is often as good as in-person learning and allows you to access better tutors at a lower cost. You can also book a free trial session to see if it is right for you.
How much do Italian tutors in Arlington charge per hour?
Our research indicates that the average cost for private Italian lessons in Arlington is between $25-$35 per hour. Online tutors do not need to travel to you and often live in countries with a lower cost of living, so the hourly cost is generally lower.
What are the differences between learning Italian online with a tutor and learning face-to-face with a tutor in Arlington?
Sometimes students tell us that they're not sure about learning Italian online because they think it’ll be completely different to learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a solid relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen tutor, you’ll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor will typically also share learning resources with you (newspaper articles, YouTube, etc.) and you’ll be able to collaborate in real-time using a tool like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
