Living in Tokyo? See Italian tutors' reviews & videos

With over a decade of experience, I've had the pleasure of teaching Italian to passionate learners from all around the world. From Tokyo to Moscow, to my time at the prestigious "Istituto Venezia" in enchanting Venice, I've refined my expertise in delivering exceptional Italian classes for both beginners and advanced learners.

My teaching approach revolves around fostering communication and immersing you in real-life situations. We won't simply focus on memorizing words; instead, we'll dive into authentic conversations and help you conquer the question of "what do I say in this situation?"

If you're starting from scratch, fret not! My teaching approach ensures that you won't be thrown into speaking Italian right away. Instead, we'll embark on a journey where you'll gradually build a solid foundation in the language, developing your listening and reading skills.

In my lessons, I prioritize creating a grammar-light environment while emphasizing immersion and conversation. However, I recognize the challenges posed by certain grammatical concepts. Therefore, I'm ready to switch to English whenever needed, offering clear explanations for complex grammar topics.

But that's not all: as a pronunciation coach, I hold the key to helping you shed your mother-tongue accent and embrace the melodic sounds of Italian. By mastering the subtle nuances of Italian intonation and pronunciation, we'll unlock the full potential of your language skills.

Join me on this awesome language-learning adventure! Together, we'll make Italian an integral part of your life, revealing the richness of its culture and the joy of connecting with its people.

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! (: 🇮🇹 

Ciao! / Hi / Buenos días / Bom dia!
It's nice to meet you! First of all, thank you for visiting my profile.
Here, you will find a summary list of my competence and field of expertise. Below, there is the complete description :)

Name: Manuel from the Italian Alps (Turin)
Mother tongue: Italian
Spoken languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese
Bachelor's Degree: Linguistic mediation at the University of Turin
Master's Degree: Foreign Languages for International Cooperation at the University of Turin
Field of expertise: Linguistics, specialized in Italian phonetics and pronunciation for foreign learners. Italian as a second language.
Teaching method: a lot of practice, including all aspects of Italian.
Experience: 5+ years

My name is Manuel and I live in Turin, northern Italy.
I am a linguist expert in teaching Italian as L2 (as a second language).
I graduated in Linguistic Mediation and majored in Foreign Languages for International Communication at the University of Turin.
My field of specialization is teaching Italian phonetics to foreigners, especially English, Spanish, and Portuguese students. I have been teaching Italian to foreign people and English/Spanish to Italians for more than 5 years.
My lessons will not only be based on phonetics, as it is important but is not the only field of linguistics you should learn. Instead, they will be based on your level and aim. At the same time, I believe the best method to learn a new language is talking and practicing as much as you can, exactly how we learned our mother tongue when we were children. But if you prefer improving other aspects like grammar, writing, or vocabulary, we can focus on them. Just tell me about your goals during our first free lesson! ;)
I am a sporty guy, and I love hiking in the Italian Alps. In my spare time, I love traveling and getting in touch with other cultures and ways of life.
And you? What are your passions? Tell me about them during our next lesson!
See you soon!

I have a teacher in Lettere Moderne and I'm certified to teach Italian language to foreigners. I've been teaching for 5 years non-stop and I've experimented with many methods of teaching. I consider myself a perennial student. I speak English, Spanish and French, I can translate Latin and I love history and philosophy. I use a communicative approach but I deem grammar essential, that's why I prefer to alternate exercises, reading and creative games. In my free time, I write, I watch movies and I practice sport. I also enjoy playing my guitar and playing chess.

Chi ben comincia è a metà dell'opera...

My name is Giusy, I'm a native italian speaker.

Hello everyone and welcome to my profile.

My name is Antonello and I am a native Italian speaker excited to immerse myself in this new platform.

I have a degree in foreign languages from the University of Bari, a charming city in southern Italy. Languages are a real passion for me - especially Spanish - and I would like to transmit this passion to you with regard to the Italian language and foreign languages as well.

I am a guy who loves meeting new people and new cultures. In fact, in the past, I have worked in the front office, such as in reception - the job I like most.

I love dialectics, grammar and dialogue and I believe that communication should not be a mere exchange of information, but a constant flow of thoughts, ideas and facts between people who are willing to say, but above all to listen.

I like to set up interactive lessons so that the student is an active part of the lesson till he/she becomes the focus of the lesson itself.

I am an energetic person with a constant desire to get involved. That is why I ensure to do my best to discover your personal story and skills.

You can love or hate languages and I love them. What about you? Let's find out together!
