Hello, future Italian speakers!

Are you fascinated by "la lingua del Belpaese"!? Do you wish to learn more than how to order a pizza Margherita at the restaurant?
I am Debora and I am passionate about language exchanges, that is why I decided to become a tutor to teach my mother tongue! I believe that a language is not only grammar and vocabulary, but it is above all about culture, behaviors, sense of humor, and... a lot of fun!
My methodology can really adapt to everyone and every level: be yourself and enjoy it!
Learning a new language is about opening a new semantic window in your brain, a new perspective! In order to do so, it's important to build together an immersive space! Let's live some experiences through which you can actually learn to use the language: songs, YouTubers, movies, recipes, extracts from books, news, podcasts, storytelling, sketches, creative writing, and more ;)
Italians and Italian culture are everywhere in Bruxelles! There are plenty of opportunities to keep the language alive and constantly improve it!

I propose 1h and half lesson (online/offline depending on the Covid-19 restrictions)

Remember: 'All things are difficult before they are easy.'
Thomas Fuller

Looking forward to meeting you!

Debora

I am a teacher and tutor of Italian Language for Foreigners with a Master's degree in teaching Italian as a language for foreigners from the Ca' Foscari University of Venezia and the DITALS certification (Certificate of aptitude in didactics of Italian to foreigners) of the University for Foreigners of Siena (Italy).
The course and my method of teaching the language are based on a communicative approach: the student will learn the language gradually by using it and communicating in a real language and not abstract. To achieve this goal, many activities will be offered using authentic teaching materials such as newspaper articles, pages from novels, movie scenes, song lyrics and many more.

Have you ever been worried that your accent isn't good enough, or that you may be mispronouncing things, or you just want practice speaking? Well, I can help you out! As a native English speaker and near native Italian speaker, I can help you from the basics, to helping you correct university level papers, and to just sitting down and having a chat with you!
I have had past experience with tutoring and am flexible towards what my students want. If you're looking for someone to give you weekly homework, and to teach you grammar and vocabulary then I can do just that (with an entertaining, laidback feel to it). I don't want learning a language to feel like a chore, or a burden, therefore I put a lot of effort in making my classes interesting, new, and fun to ensure you take the most out of it.
If you would like to know more about who I am, or need any help in English and Italian I am ready to help!

My goal is to guide and help the students grasp a high level of understanding in the basics of English language skills, ESL, and Italian.
Moreover, I aim, with the students, to achieve a more advanced level for the students in speaking, reading, and understanding. I can assure flexibility in my lessons. If students find they already know something quite well, I will not dwell on such topics too long and will move on to other topics that are new to them, or of interest. My goal is to provide a focused session in which the student is really the center of attention, where all their needs are met.

Ciao! Je m'appelle Francesco et je vis en Belgique depuis plus de 7 ans. You live in Liguria (Italy) and you continue your doctorate and philosophy at KU Leuven.

Since the young people are born, they are not the only natural people in the world and therefore the language of their professions is simple enough for pleasure. The development of the course of the CVO d'Alost: a course of class of vocabulary and grammar, and a course of conversation in the course of the studies and advances. Take your time and enjoy your connaissance, enjoy the fresh air, the fresh air, the fresh air - the whole experience! You also prepare the court videos with regard to the discussions and ensembles, after which you compose your oral and your vocabulary. Et, lorsque c'est necessaire, nous pourrons nous concentrator plus précisément sur la grammaire et la construction des phrases.
Nous déciderons ensemble de la meilleure manière d'avancer. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested! A presto! 🙂

Hello! My name is Francesco and I've been living in Belgium for seven years. I'm from Liguria (Italy) and I'm currently completing my PhD in philosophy at KU Leuven.

For the past few years, I've given private Italian lessons to people who wanted to learn the language for fun or professional reasons. I've also taught two courses at a CVO (Center for Vocational Education) in Aalst: one classical course on grammar and vocabulary, and a conversation course for more advanced students. Depending on your level, we can get to know each other better during the lessons, talk about our lives, hobbies, experiences—anything you like! We can also watch and discuss short videos together to improve your listening comprehension and vocabulary. And when needed, we can focus more specifically on grammar and sentence structure.

My Dutch isn't perfect, but I can easily use English or French if you don't (yet) speak Italian. We can discuss what works best for you. Feel free to leave a message if you're interested! See you soon! 🙂

Ciao folks!

If you want to learn Italian while making a new friend, you are in the right place! We can start from any level you would like and build from there - no matter the level, the aim should always be to reach a point where you feel natural expressing yourself even with basic knowledge and vocabulary.

We’ll work on real-life communication (conversation, pronunciation, and everyday expressions) while also covering grammar in a simple, practical way - as much as we can, Italian grammar can be a tough one, but bear with me.

You can learn at your own pace, and I’ll adapt the lessons to your interests - from travel and culture to professional Italian or exam preparation.

Classes are available online or in person, always in a friendly and encouraging environment :)

I see my role more as a guide or tutor, someone who creates a supportive environment where students feel comfortable to learn and making mistakes. I enjoy working with students in a collaborative way: for example, giving them exercises or homework, and then going through the corrections together, so that the focus is not only on the result but also on the learning process.

Since I have taught Italian to foreign students in the past, I have developed an approach that emphasizes patience, clarity, and adaptability. I believe it is important to meet students where they are, to understand their individual needs, and to adjust my explanations accordingly. For me, being an "instructor" means encouraging curiosity, motivating students to engage actively, and helping them build confidence step by step.

Is it easier to learn Italian or French? Italian or Portuguese? Italian or Swedish? Who knows! After starting to study my fifth language, I would love to have an answer... perhaps we will discover it together, by discussing in Italian, whether you are a beginner or at a more advanced level.

I would be delighted to organize learning sessions tailored to your objectives, if you have any, and your favorite subjects. I am passionate about urban planning, adventure books, theater, and olive oil, but I am also very curious and ready to prepare on your favorite topics.

I love beautiful grammar, but when learning a new language, my mantra is: "Language is a means of communication."

...and like true Italians, we will also learn to talk with our hands!
