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 more than 8 years, overall about 4600 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!

Mauro S
Teacher with 9 years of experience, from A1 to C2, PLIDA Interviewer
Ciao! My name is Mauro, I am native Italian from Calabria! I studied International Relations at Bologna University, then I moved to Padua, for a PhD in History of Political Thought. I currently live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I love running, Mozart, tango (I'm trying to improve my dancing abilities...), cook, and culture.
I am a very passionate teacher, I love to share my language and my knowledge about Italy, and its culture, films, music, literature, arts, food!!! I firmly believe that learning is based on trust between teacher and student, and the first objective of my classes is to individuate student's objectives and preferences.
My teaching methodology is integrated: I think that it is important to work on all of linguistic abilities: oral and writing comprehension and production. I also think that lessons must be as much as fun as possible, and I use a lot of authentic material: songs, films, cooking recipes, newspapers, advertising and so on...

Ciao!
My name is Marzia and I am a native Italian language teacher! Are you interested in learning Italian to travel to Italy, to learn more about the Italian culture, or to connect with your Italian roots? Whatever your reason, I’d be happy to help you!
I have been teaching online for more than five years and I am passionate about sharing my love for my language with my students. I teach students of all ages and levels.
Lessons are based on the needs of my students. Some students prefer the traditional grammar approach, while others want to focus on conversation from the very first lesson. Regardless, my approach is communicative to enable my students to comfortably and confidently speak Italian since I believe that the purpose of a language is communication!
I use authentic materials including newspapers, magazines and listening exercises. This helps my students in their language journey since our lessons are more interesting.
If you would like to become more comfortable speaking Italian, I can help you! I know from personal experience that language learning takes perseverance and motivation and am ready to help you stay motivated! Learning while having fun is the key to success!
I would love to meet you and talk about your Italian language goals during a trial lesson!
A presto!

I DO NOT OFFER ONLY CONVERSATION LESSON
Ciao a tutti! I'm Deborah and I'm an Italian tutor. I graduated cum laude in 2021 and I've got 5 years of experience in teaching. In 2021 I also worked as private tutor in France and Portugal.
!!!! ATTENZIONE: 1hour LESSON LASTS 50 MINS instead of 55.
My philosophy is: learn a language, have fun!
As a professional Italian language teacher, I have had the privilege of working with students from around the globe, ranging from complete beginners to advanced speakers. This rich variey of experiences has enriched my ability to tailor lessons to the individual needs of each student, ensuring that learning Italian is both effective and ENJOYABLE!
I believe each person in unique, so their learning paths shouldn't be the same. During our initial sessions, I take the time to understand your goals, interests, and learning style. Whether you're preparing for a trip to Italy, aiming to pass a proficiency exam, or simply wanting to enjoy Italian language and culture, I create a customized plan to help you succeed.
Interactive and engaging, my lessons incorporate a variety of multimedia resources, including audios, videos, and authentic Italian texts. Grammar and vocabulary are often taught in context. I also emphasize listening and conversational skills, encouraging you to speak and build confidence and fluency.
Learning a new language should be a joyful journey! With patience, encouragement, and a sprinkle of Italian culture, I aim to inspire a love for the language that goes beyond the classroom. Join me, and let's embark on this exciting adventure together!

Alessandra R
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.

Qualified Italian teacher with 6 years of experience 🇮🇹❤️
Hi, I'm Cristina from Italy!
I studied Foreign languages and Linguistics and I'm here to help you learn and discover the beauties of the Italian language. My lessons are mainly focused on grammar, vocabulary, conversation and pronunciation. My approach to teaching depends on the level and goals of the student. Not only will we learn grammar and new words but we will also pay attention to the correct pronunciation (I have a standard pronunciation so you can easily learn the standard variety of Italian) : the student will be given some exercises to practise their pronunciation (tongue twisters are great to practise the difficult sounds of a foreign language!). Moreover, we will develop the four language skills ( speaking, writing, listening and reading) through constant and gradual training.
With more advanced students, it can be great to have conversational lessons. Since I'm a very curious person (I'm very passionate about Science, Art and sport) we may talk about any topic you are interested in.
Do not hesitate to book a trial session.
See you soon! (: 🇮🇹

Ilaria Z
Ilaria Z
Italian teacher with experience for all levels
I am Ilaria, and I am a native Italian teacher. I have been teaching Italian for several years now, and I love my job.
I am a full-time Italian teacher, and I am building my entire career around the Italian language. I am also a blogger and a podcaster.
In the past, I have attended German and Spanish courses. But I am still a language student, in fact, I keep taking English classes, so I know how difficult and frustrating can be to learn a foreign language for my students.
My teaching method is focused on the students. During the first lesson, I ask them why they want to learn Italian and the goals they want to achieve. I am a supportive person, and I will constantly be there to guide you during the challenge of learning a foreign language!
With beginners, we will start learning grammar, but I will try to let them speak from the first lesson, helping them to create their first sentences.
Once the level advances, the part of the conversation will become gradually longer, but obviously, we will keep adding grammar information.
With students with a higher level, I will be more flexible and, the work to do will be decided together. Some of them prefer to have an informal lesson, based on conversation. Others prefer to have a more structured class, with readings and exercises.

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.
