You will just need to spend 1 to 2 hours doing your homework assignments.

I use Korean language school textbooks for the class, so you can learn step-by-step.

Hi! I’m Thảo, a Vietnamese tutor based in Hanoi, Vietnam, with over 20 years of professional experience and a background in communication and journalism.

I help learners speak Vietnamese clearly, improve their pronunciation, and understand how the language is actually used in real-life situations.

Many learners struggle not because of vocabulary, but because they don’t fully understand pronunciation, context, and cultural meaning.

With over 20 years of professional experience, I know how to communicate clearly and explain complex ideas in a simple, structured way.

In my lessons, I focus on:

• improving your pronunciation step by step

• helping you understand how and why Vietnamese is used in different situations

• building your confidence in real conversations

I carefully correct your mistakes and guide you step by step, so you can improve your accuracy and speak more naturally.

I adapt each lesson to your needs and learning style, so you can learn in a way that works best for you.

Learning Vietnamese can feel confusing at first, especially when you don’t understand how the language works in real life.

Hi, I’m Carlotta 👋 a native Italian tutor with 5 years of experience.

What brought you to Italian? A trip, your family roots, someone special, your job? Tell me your reason, and I’ll build every lesson around it.

What makes my lessons different
• After every lesson I create homework, flashcards and exercises from what you said: your mistakes, your words, your life.
• Lots of speaking from day one, in a relaxed space where mistakes are welcome.
• Grammar explained simply, with no confusing jargon.
• Real Italian: videos, songs, everyday situations and culture. I studied Cultural Anthropology, so for me a language is a way into a culture.

Who I help
✈️ Travelers who want to really talk with people in Italy
🇮🇹 Heritage learners reconnecting with their family’s language
❤️ Partners who want to chat with their Italian family
💼 Professionals who need Italian for work
From complete beginners to intermediate learners.

Before Apprentus, I taught Italian to foreigners in schools and associations in Italy and on Preply. When I’m not teaching, I travel, draw and crochet.

In your trial lesson we’ll talk about your goals, I’ll check your level, and you’ll leave with a clear plan for your first month. Book it, and let’s find the best way for you to learn Italian!
