29 £ /h

I am a qualified MFL teacher and worked both in mainstream and SEN schools here in UK. I do have passion for teaching languages and different cultures and my classes are always engaging.

As I worked in schools as a French teacher, I totally understand the most common difficulties that students run into in learning a new language. I am supporting students teaching French up to GCSE in all the four areas: writing, listening, speaking and reading

The teaching method of a language is supposed to change according to each student. The reason why you decided to learn italian will help me to create a suitable programme for you. In any case, practise is the most important aspect, that's why during my lesson, after an explanation of the grammatical rules, we will focus on the usage of the language itself by listening, speaking, reading and conversation exercises.
After few lessons you'll be able to express yourself and every lesson will be a concrete improvement of all your language skills.

Knowing a language nowadays has become extremely important. Our need to communicate and relate with the world has increased and so, in order to be able to feel confident with it, we need the right tools and methods.
Have you ever been keen on one particular language and willing to learn it? Are you a student struggling to understand your teacher tasks and to get a good grade? Would you like to get better at English as a second language (speaking, writing, reading and listening)?
I could be the answer to all these questions.

This is a class for intermediate Italian speakers looking to improve their spoken Italian and grammar. My focus is both on conversational fluency and grammar points, explaining why the grammar is the way that it is. My goal is for these lessons to be fun and entertaining, and we will decide together the topic of conversation for that lesson so that is something that interests you and that you want to talk about!

Queste lezioni d'italiano intermedio sono per quelli studenti d'italiano che desiderino migliorare l'italiano parlato e la loro comprensione della grammatica. Il foco di queste lezioni sono sia la fluidità conversazionale che i punti di grammatica. L'obiettivo di queste lezioni è insegnare la lingua parlata di maniera divertente e interessante, per cui decideremo insieme il tema di conversazione della lezione perché vi interessi e ne vogliate parlare!

I specialise in tutoring English, Italian and Latin. I tailor the classes to the needs and the goals of my students, and try to make classes interesting by using different teaching tools. I have experience preparing students for specific language exams and for citezenship language tests.

Whether you have been learning Italian for some time or have begun out of boredom during lockdown, chances are you may want to test your skills and get better at conversation.

I'm a PhD student at UCL and I have lived in London for the past seven years. As I have no formal training in teaching languages this would not be an Italian class, but simply an informal, relaxed way to improve your conversation.

We can meet in person (Hackney) or over Zoom/Skype/Whatsapp (we are all familiar with all of those by now!) and have a chat. I will help you with vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar, with any homework you may have to do or correct stuff you have written. It is all very flexible and lead by your needs, desires and curiosity.

PS: Yes, I can also train you in the various Italian gestures so that you'll be a pro next time you visit Italy =)

Ciao! My name is Marika and I am Italian mother language. Learning a foreign language can be extremely difficult. The simplest way is to put into practice what you learn daily, and to do this you need a Tutor to talk to. A friendly and patient person who has already faced the difficulties of learning a new language.
That's why my lessons are based on conversation.
I believe the best way to learn is through speaking without fear - I'll take notes while you speaking and share with you some tools that help you to learn efficiently. "Provando si sbaglia, sbagliando s'impara"! (lear from failure!)

WHY CHOOSE ME:
I will get to know you and find out what your learning style is, so that our lessons are always tailored to you!
My approach is based on conversation. I will shape a method that stimulates conversation and interactivity with a touch of fun. You will improve your pronunciation and memorize many words.

I use games, fantasy situations, and dialogues that stimulate discussion between us. I will also use videos, audio, and articles to improve your speaking, listening, and pronunciation skills.

If you have never studied Italian, I will improve your language skills by guiding you step by step. We will start with phonetics, vocabulary and then with simple presentation dialogues. In a short time, you will find that you begin to understand and speak Italian.

If you have a specific purpose or interest, tell me! We will form a program together and maybe I will learn something from you.

See you soon!

I can help you to overcome your problem when it comes to maths, chemistry and italian by teaching you easy ways.

In case anyone struggles with English I can help you with that. I can teach you the right way to master you language skills and be more confident.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Italian language with me, a native-speaking Italian tutor offering lessons at all proficiency levels. Whether you're a complete beginner or seeking to refine your language skills, I provided personalised instruction tailored to your learning goals. Experience the joy of Italian through interactive conversations, cultural insights, and practical exercises. Having lived there for 13 years and with my passion for teaching and deep cultural knowledge, you'll develop fluency, expand your vocabulary, and gain a deep appreciation for the Italian language and culture.
