My courses are designed to provide a strong foundation in both the linguistic structures and cultural nuances of the Italian language, ensuring a holistic and engaging learning experience.
Each course is tailored to specific learning goals, from general Italian to specialized topics such as Italian for Business, Italian for Academic Study, and preparation for language certification exams (eg, CILS, CELI).

In Italian for Academic Study, students will learn the necessary language skills to navigate university life in Italy, including writing academic papers, participating in seminars, and handling everyday interactions on campus.
Additionally, my courses offer microlanguages designed to focus on very specific needs, such as Italian for Travel, Italian for Cooking and Food Culture, or Italian for Socializing, where students can focus on improving conversational skills, understanding Italian gastronomy, or mastering the language of travel and tourism.
Each course is interactive, involving live online classes, practical exercises, and personalized feedback to ensure continuous progress.

Additionally, the Market-to-the-Table experience is a unique activity where we take a journey through local markets to select fresh, seasonal ingredients. After handpicking the finest produce, meats, and herbs, we return to the kitchen to prepare and cook a meal inspired by what we've found. This activity not only highlights the importance of sourcing quality ingredients but also teaches you how to create a complete, authentic Italian meal from start to finish, with an emphasis on sustainability and freshness.
Finally, Modern Italian Cuisine combines classic techniques with innovative approaches, showcasing contemporary interpretations of traditional dishes.

The magnificent ITALIAN language from an Italian girl!Italian is one of the most beautiful language in the whole world; and what’s better than learning it from an Italian girl without having to move from your couch? Absolutely nothing. I’m Lara and I’m a 21 years old student in Pavia. I’d love to introduce you to this language via webcam online.
I speak English very fluently as well and I’m also nice and used to be around children, if you need lessons for your younger son or daughter.

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any levelHello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.
I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.
The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).
Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Italian lessons. Italian lessons online or in person.- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living in Rome. I have 10 years teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests and availability of the student.
- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and put the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course and for each lesson I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.
Silvia
Online private lessons in Italian language, culture, and lifestyle. All levels. Master of Arts Leiden University, Ditals I.If you wish to brush up your Italian, resume a past series of lessons, or simply start from scratch learning Italian, this is the right lesson for you! I like to personalize each class/course according to the needs and goals of my students. My classes are focused on improving the student's communication skills. At beginner and lower intermediate levels, I prefer using a text book/ student book in the first part of the class. I usually use "Nuovissimo Progetto Italiano" and "Arrivederci" by Edilingua, or "Nuovo Espresso" and "Dieci" by Alma Publishing. For the second part of the lesson, I create engaging contents using original videos, press articles, extracts from blogs and social media, literary texts. If the students do not feel comfortable using Italian from scratch, I can switch to English, German, or Dutch. The course fee includes the correction of home assignments.
