Learning the Italian language through culture with young and positive Carlotta!

From 21.38 £ /h

Italian is a wonderful but quite complicated language. Why would you learn it?! Apart from being extremely useful for tourists who travel to Italy, it opens a window into the immensely rich culture that Italians share.
And why would you learn it WITH ME?! During the classes I offer, we will get to learn about Italian music, history, food, geography, social norms and much more! My previous students were always greatly satisfied with what they learnt.
My Italian classes are usually tailored for the students. When someone wants to explore a particular aspect of the Italian culture, all they have to do is to ask and I will make sure that the class topics will spin around that theme! Further, I can decide, according to the requests of my students, to focus mainly on listening, writing or speaking skills for the learning of this beautiful language.

Extra information

Once we meet, we can decide on which textbook you will be studying.

👋🏼 Hello! I'm Francesca. Do you want to learn or improve your Italian?
No problem, more than 300 students have studied with me and learned while having fun. I started teaching at 19 thanks to the director of my high school and I have more than 15 years of experience, in Italy and abroad, all over the world thanks to the internet.
I offer online Italian courses for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, i.e., C2. I always have quality reference books to recommend to students.
My classes are highly personalized and tailored to the specific needs of each student. I guarantee quality because I put a lot of passion and care into everything I do, trying not to overlook the details.

🚀 During the lessons, I will help you learn the basics of general Italian, paying attention to pronunciation and intonation while reading. I am always attentive to the needs of the students and ready to tailor my lessons. My lessons are an investment for the present and the future because they are prepared with passion, a lot of experience, and dedication 🧡.

🌟 If you are a beginner, don't worry because I take great care to make you feel comfortable.

➡️ I work on different levels: conversation on different topics, grammar, reading, writing, dictation and games (role-playing games in which the student can test himself by communicating in a natural and practical way with the teacher, as in real life).
In addition, preparation for official language certificates (CELI, CILS, PLIDA), the Swiss maturity exam, apprenticeship as a commercial employee CFC and tailor-made courses in a certain professional field.
➡️ All levels: A1-C2

Hello everyone,
I'm Sanghee and my native language is Korean.
I have a certificate of Korean teacher training program and 5 years of teaching experience.
I've taught many different students from other countries.

First of all, I'd like to ask your Korean level. If you don't know any Korean we can start learning the Korean alphabet "Hangul"
After that, the class will be focused on your level and pace.
I use Korean language school book for the class so you can learn step by step.
I give you many chances to speak Korean every lesson so we can practice talking in Korean.

Every lesson consists of speaking, reading, writing and listening (Language skills)
Grammar & vocabs too. You can improve your Korean skill.
As for the lesson schedule, we can find the best time for the both of us.

Small group course is possible!
You can ask me about it
- Regular course
- Conversational course

Thanks for reading and hope to see you soon in the class.
감사합니다!

As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing.

Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing.
We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis.
We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them.
In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!

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!

Hello! I’m Yunus Emre, a Turkish language instructor working with students from many different countries around the world. I offer lessons that focus on speaking skills, supported by structured materials such as books and videos, helping you use the language correctly and naturally.

With more than 4 years of experience, I know that every learner has their own pace and goals. That’s why I tailor each lesson to your specific needs. For beginners, I provide clear and simple explanations; for advanced learners, we focus on fluency, vocabulary development, and improving expression in everyday situations.

We do more than just conversation practice; we also work on reading and listening skills through activities based on books and videos. This helps you strengthen your language ability in real-life contexts and professional environments.

During our lessons, we also talk about Turkish culture, lifestyle, and common expressions, making the learning process more enjoyable and meaningful. I always aim to create a supportive environment that encourages you to speak without fear of making mistakes.

Whether your goal is travel, work, daily communication, or improving your fluency, I would be happy to create a personalized learning plan for you. Together, we can develop your Turkish in a structured and enjoyable way.

I look forward to meeting you in our first lesson!

My name is Lucía, and I have a degree in Modern Languages, Culture, and Communication. I lived and traveled in Italy for several years and I work as a language and art teacher.

I offer Italian conversation classes for people who already have some background knowledge and want to speak more fluently, enjoyably, and confidently.

The conversation arises from live materials and the student's area of interest:
✅Images, painting and art
✅Excerpts from literature
✅Italian music and cinema
✅Culture, travel and daily life
✅Topics of personal interest

The approach is organic, relaxed, and personalized:
✅Vocabulary in context
✅ Pronunciation work
✅Seeking naturalness and expressiveness when speaking
✅Helpful corrections

Ideal for:
✅Levels A2–C1
✅Lovers of art and culture.
✅For anyone who wants to learn without stress, but combining rigor with enjoyment and Italian culture.

Shall we begin? 😄

Moving to Japan? Dating a Japanese Partner? Let’s Make You Fluent Naturally🇯🇵

Ex-Editor from Tokyo, Now Teaching in London

Hello, I’m Minami.

If you want to speak natural Japanese, not textbook Japanese, I’m here to help you.

I’m originally from Tokyo and currently living in London.
I worked as an editor at a major publishing company in Japan before moving to the UK for graduate study.

Because I’ve studied English and French for many years (and lived abroad), I truly understand the joy, frustration, and breakthrough moments of learning a new language.

🌿 Who I work best with:
• People planning to move to Japan
• Those with a Japanese partner
• Professionals who need business Japanese
• Learners who want to understand Japanese culture deeply

In our lessons, you will:

✓ Speak more confidently from Day 1
✓ Learn expressions real Japanese people actually use
✓ Understand cultural nuance (not just grammar)
✓ Build a personalised study system that fits your life

I have taught Japanese to over 20 learners through language exchange programs and now teach online students worldwide.

In our first lesson, we will clarify your goals and create a clear action plan. You’ll leave with practical phrases you can use immediately.

Learning Japanese should feel motivating, not overwhelming.
Let’s build your confidence step by step.

I look forward to meeting you.

This class is designed for students preparing for the AP Italian Language and Culture exam who want to strengthen their speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills. As a native Italian speaker who grew up in Italy and now studies in the United States, I understand both the language and the expectations of American students preparing for the AP exam. I also personally took the AP Italian exam and earned a score of 5, so I am familiar with the structure, timing, and strategies needed to succeed. Lessons focus on AP-style practice, vocabulary development, cultural topics, and strategies for each section of the exam, including conversation, essays, and interpretation of audio and written materials. I help students organize their answers clearly, improve pronunciation and fluency, and build confidence so they can perform at their best on exam day.
