Ciao a tutti! I'm Deborah and I'm an Italian tutor. I graduated cum laude in 2021 and I've got 4 years of experience in tutoring. 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!

Do you love Italy, good food, art, culture and the Italian language?

Are you planning a trip to Italy and have little time to learn the basics? Or maybe you just want to learn a wonderful new language?

If you want to improve your Italian, feel more confident speaking or start from zero and be able to start speaking in a short time, you are on the right profile!

I know the difficulties of learning and practicing a foreign language and I will use all my experience and the ability to offer you lessons perfectly adapted to your level and your goals.

For our lessons, we will make an individual program that will allow you to progress quickly, I will provide you with the best study materials (books, pdf, audio, video, reading, grammar ...), I will give you homework and activities (if you have time) and we will use many tools to enhance the learning experience.

Together we can face each lesson in a dynamic and fun way, learning something new from the Italian language but also from the culture, improving your vocabulary, grammar and above all your ability to communicate ...

I can also help you prepare for a CILS, CELI or citizenship exam, with the right materials and methods to improve your weaknesses and get ready for test day.

I'm waiting for you for our first conversation, to start a beautiful learning journey together!

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.

My name is Giusy, I'm a native italian speaker. I've been learning multiple languages for many years now and it is something I am extremely passionate about, which means that I know how difficult it is to learn a language, especially if you are nervous or worried about making mistakes. As your community tutor, I will make sure to keep the conversation fun and easy so you always feel comfortable and relaxed during a lesson. My teaching style is informal and friendly, you will learn new vocabulary and improve your pronounciation while discussing our goals, hobbies and passions. We will focus on creating the perfect balance between the four key aspects of learning a language: speaking, listening, writing and reading, using a range of digital resources to keep the lesson fun and interesting. 

Hello all,

My name is Selene and I teach Italian to adults at all levels. My aim is to deliver lessons that are not boring, useful to what you want to achieve and adaptable to your learning style. I have experience teaching students from all over the world, from beginners to more advanced students. I create my lessons with the help of books, images, authentic material, my personal experiences and a bit of sense of humour. 
Italian is a language full of history and culture. I believe it is almost impossible to learn Italian without learning its culture and traditions. Cultural activities, recipes and travel tips are my signature lessons. I am qualified to prepare for CILS exams and B1 citizenship exams. I can guide you to the process of getting the Italian proficiency qualification you need.

I developed my methods during the years and I'm able to create a friendly environment in which the students can learn without any pressure. My students have been with me for a long time :).

If this sounds like the way you want to learn, please do not hesitate to contact me !

Ciao! Sono Arianna! 

Hello! I am a professional Italian teacher with many years of experience. I am Italian but I have been living for several years in Germany where I teach Italian in schools and at the University.

I specialised at the University of Rome and at the University for Foreigners of Perugia in teaching Italian to foreigners and, at the moment, at the University of Portsmouth in England I am carrying out a PhD on the best strategies for learning Italian language vocabulary.

I am a professional but also friendly and patient teacher. The most important thing for me is that you never stop learning with a smile!  

In my lessons there is always plenty of time for conversation, you can always practise to become more fluent. And if you are a beginner, don't panic! We will work together, step by step from the essentials!

My classes:

*Beginners*: We will start together from the essentials. I will prepare presentations, pdfs, songs and much more for you. With each class you will learn new vocabulary and grammar tips that you will be able to put into practice immediately by speaking Italian from the very first lesson!  

*Intermediate and advanced*: In my classes you will be able to talk about topics that interest you, and you will improve your vocabulary, your grammar, and your fluency.  

I not only specialize in teaching the language but because I hold a Masters Degree in Cultural Heritage and Archeology, I have comprehensive knowledge of my country’s deep history, culture, and art to share with you!

I look forward to meeting you, to talking with you to understand how I can help you and how we can achieve your goals! So I welcome you for a trial lesson where we can get to know each other and talk about your study path. 

A presto!

Hi, I am Eleonora and I am from Italy (near Venice). 

With me, you can improve your conversational Italian. I have more than 6 years of experience tutoring students with different levels of Italian. Some of them were beginners when they started and they managed to reach a good level of Italian after a few months. I also helped more experienced students with their university exams or thesis. So, even if my classes here focus more on spoken Italian when there is a need, we can improve your written and academic Italian. 

My classes are personalized according to your needs, level of language, individual interests, and goals. During the classes, you will improve and learn new vocabulary and grammar. The classes are always different and we will use material such as songs, online videos, news, and literature text to help facilitate the conversation and your learning. It would be nice to have a cultural exchange so you can get to learn more about Italian Culture, its History, and its traditions. My students are of different nationalities and backgrounds giving me the chance to keep on learning myself. Personally, I speak fluently French and a bit of German, while I am currently learning Swedish. 

I look forward to meeting you! 

Ciao, 

Ele

My objective is to keep students challenged but not overwhelmed. I also like to keep lessons engaging, fun and fresh. My students say I am patient and friendly: I do think it is very important to feel safe and supported when learning a new language. So if you want to immerse yourself in the Italian culture and language but find it hard to attend a scheduled group class, or if you want to focus on specific topics or aspects and get faster progress through individual lessons, contact me to get the most suitable 1-to-1 plan for you.

Ciao! Hi there!

My name's Marika and I'm here to help you learn or improve your Italian.

I’ve been working as a teacher since 2016 and I also work as a tour guide for an American company that runs hiking and biking trips all over the world.
Learning a foreign language is a real challenge that forces us out of our comfort zone, but isn’t it there that magic happens?!

• 8-year-experience in teaching + TEFL/TESOL certificate + Bachelor’s degree in Linguistic and Cultural Mediation
• Hooked on hiking, traveling, yoga and yummy desserts + life experience abroad (Australia, New Zealand, Bali, Germany, India, Patagonia)
• Personalized lessons in a fun and relaxed environment
• All levels: from beginners to advanced
• All needs (travel, school, work, personal interest etc.)
• Focus on conversation
• Explanation of grammar rules (if needed!) + practice
• Idiomatic expressions
• Possibility of intensive courses

My teaching method is based on a communicative approach. I’ll have you talk and use the target language in an active way as much as possible cause that’s how you really learn! It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes, I’ve been there, I won't judge but encourage you!

I use diverse materials for my classes: extracts from newspaper articles, textbooks, worksheets, videos, songs and anything that may interest you.
