- Whether for your university studies, for business, or for culture, learning Italian could be an important choice for your life! I'll give you a fast, efficient, and engaging way to learn. As a qualified and experienced teacher, I ensure you make real progress, helping you successfully achieve your goals and communicate with confidence in Italian. I prefer not to use vehicular languages but don't worry, I have plurilingual and pluricultural competences so, if you need, we can speak English, French, Arabic (MSA and Tunisian) or Spanish! Together, we'll work on oral and written production and comprehension, focusing on fluency, lexis and vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. I'll give you access to a range of free resources and authentical materials like videos, audios, newspapers, and books, for sure.
Options:
- ITALIAN for BUSINESS for those who need basic knowledge and competences to interact and communicate in Italian.
- LANGUAGE CERTIFICATION & UNIVERSITY EXAMS: get prepared for CILS, CELI, or PLIDA EXAMS: we will concentrate on exam techniques and strategy. The aim is to maximize performance by familiarizing participants with the format of the exam and developing essential exam skills via strategy training and exam practice time simulation activities with a focus on reading, writing, including presentation of arguments and feedback on common error. And if you need to prepare an oral exam or to prepare and present your own project, we'll organize personal tutoring and training.

- My method: I follow a communicative and non-frontal approach in which the student always has a leading role and is stimulated to experiment with the structures and the vocabulary learned. In general, during a lesson, I give equal space to the reinforcement of each competence (comprehension and oral production, comprehension and written production, grammatical insights), but at the request of the student, it is possible to focus on particular objectives.

About Me

My name is Natalia. Graduated in Languages and Cultures for international cooperation, I specialize in teaching Italian and Arabic. I am a qualified teacher, having DILS-PG II liv. certification.

I lived in Tunis for three years, where I taught Italian LS (Institute of Italian Culture and Dante Alighieri Society) and a year in Paris to deepen my studies in Arabic language and culture, at the Université Paris 8 Saint Vincennes.

I have many years of experience and training in the teaching of foreign languages in Italy and abroad and with different profiles of learners and a solid competence in language teaching, thanks to a permanent update: I attended training courses on the CLIL methodology in teaching Italian and Arabic language.

I currently live in Milan where I teach Italian as a foreign language; I also carry out cultural and linguistic mediation activities in school contexts to facilitate school-family communication.

I have several previous experiences also in pedagogical activities for children of non formal education to differences, group activities for the insertion of young people in difficult social conditions.

I speak Arabic, Spanish, French and English; I like to travel and discover the world and new contexts, following - possibly - work and study opportunities.

I love teaching languages because it is I firmly believe that knowing languages is a wealth and a powerful tool for understanding and citizenship.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Hello 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 !!

Hi, I'm Paola and I'm a graduate in Italian Literature and I also have a master's degree in Teaching Italian to Foreigners.
During the university period I gave private lessons to erasmus students in Italy and now I give individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online.
I use a book that I integrate with different materials. Conversation is very important, but so is listening and understanding a text.
The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information.

A presto!

For adults, I offer online "Free Talk" classes. These classes are very popular and are ok for any age. I currently have a group class of people aged 60s to 80s. If you want to talk about daily life, news, hobbies, traveling, etc. and enjoy speaking English, then this is a good class to do it. Usually a 1-hour class is best as it gives plenty of time. If a shorter, or longer, class is better for you I can do that too. Just ask :)

Hello!
My name is Sayuri and I’m from Japan. I’m a native Japanese speaker.

I enjoy teaching Japanese to beginners in a gentle and relaxed way.
Let’s have fun learning hiragana, katakana, simple kanji, and everyday conversation together.

Even if it’s your first time learning Japanese, that’s completely okay.
I adjust my lessons to each student’s pace and make sure everything is clear and easy to understand.

I can also be a conversation partner, so you can practice speaking Japanese in a relaxed and comfortable way.

In my lessons, I use visual materials like pictures and a whiteboard to make learning more fun and easier to understand.

I love cooking and animals, and I have a Shiba Inu at home.
I also enjoy talking about Japanese food and culture.

Let’s enjoy studying Japanese together in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere!
I’m looking forward to meeting you 😊

This class is designed for students who want to improve their Italian speaking skills and become more confident in conversation. As a native Italian speaker who grew up in Italy and now studies in the United States, I help students practice real-life communication in a relaxed and supportive environment. Lessons focus on fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary expansion, and natural conversation, using topics such as travel, culture, food, and everyday situations. Each lesson is adapted to the student’s level and goals so conversations feel engaging and productive. My background as a collegiate athlete and youth coach has helped me develop strong communication skills and patience when working with students. My goal is to help students speak more comfortably, improve their pronunciation, and sound more natural in Italian while enjoying the learning process.

My name is Joana. I am a native Spanish teacher, with a degree in Spanish Literature and Language and a Master's degree in Spanish as a foreign language (UNED Faculty).
■ Since 2009 I have been working at the Cervantes Institute as an OFFICIAL EXAMINER of DELE diplomas (Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language)
(I am fluent in French, so during the course I give all the necessary explanations in French on grammatical rules or vocabulary.
Having extensive teaching experience, I prepare students/adults for all levels of the DELE Spanish Diplomas and for all official Spanish exams within Universities.
● Spanish courses for adults who intend to travel or live in a Spanish-speaking country.
● Specialized fun Spanish courses for children (6-13 years old), audiovisual material, interactive games on the internet, choice of textbooks taking into account their age. Children learn the language through experiences and experiences while having fun.
● Help with school homework/exams for French students (all levels, + preparation for BTS, CNED)
● Spanish courses for adults who use Spanish in a professional context (Business Spanish: tourism/restaurants, law, etc.)
● Spanish pronunciation/phonetics/conversation courses (exercises provided by the Cervantes Institute). During my Master's degree, I specialized in Spanish phonetics for foreigners. Students can achieve a very good level of oral production even if they are beginners* :)
● Written production, grammar, oral and written comprehension.
● Spanish civilization course.
I live in Spain, so I give all my classes on Skype.
Skype classes are very flexible and as effective as face-to-face classes! (100% success rate for all Cervantes Institute DELE diplomas and all university exams!)
■ COMPLETE learning materials provided to all my students according to their personal level/age/interests (DELE preparation manual, grammar book, pronunciation guide, notes, mp3 audios)

I will be happy to read from you.

A greeting,
Johanne :) 👩🏻‍🏫🇪🇸
