Ciao! Salve! I am Dutch, lived in Rome for more than 30 years and now I live in a small village in Sweden. I love Italy, its culture and language, and this resulted in a Master in Italian (and a Bachelor in French). Before I moved to Sweden I travelled with my former husband throughout the world. We lived in Australia, USA and in Europe speaking all their different languages. So, languages are a kind of “my thing”.
With me you can learn Italian at all levels; from your first approach to the most advanced. I like to give you tailor-fit lessons, which I will prepare in advance. Afterwards I will give you direct personal feed-back like transcripts of our conversation which could be of help for your further learning. I care mostly about speaking and learning the Italian culture, but also about right grammar use and vocabulary.
I’m looking forward to teaching you Italian and with the help of my patience and encouragements I’m confident you will enjoy it and learn a lot.

- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living between Pisa and Rome. I have 10 years of teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests, and availability of the student. I can offer students private accommodation in Pisa, a comfortable private apartment in the historic center of the city, a short walk from my home.

- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and putting the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course, and for each lesson, I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also, the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

Some Reviews:
Chevaan:
Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

👋🏼 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 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 !!

Prepare in an efficient, intensive way for the ITNA (Interuniversity Language Test Dutch), based on tailor-made exercises.
We practice together on language in use, grammar and vocabulary, gap texts, structuring exercises, dictation, presentations and argumentation.

Would you like to learn Dutch at a different level (A1 - C1) or are you a native speaker with a specific question, be sure to check out my other lesson "Dutch for non-native speakers and native speakers".

Teaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

I am a primary school teacher and can help with all language subjects, for both adults and children: Reading Comprehension, Language, Spelling, Reading, Vocabulary, English.

Based on your wishes I create my lessons, so that you gain self-confidence step by step in what you (still) find difficult. With games, puzzles, explanations, conversations and practice you will improve a little bit every day.

If you want to learn or improve your Dutch, we can work on that too. I live in France myself and know how difficult and enjoyable it is to learn another language.

Based on what you need, I create my lessons, so that you get confidence in what you (at the moment) find difficult. With games, puzzles, explanations, conversations and practice, you get better every day.

If you want to learn or improve your Dutch, I can help you as well. I myself am Dutch and live in France, so I know speaking another language can be difficult and yet is fun!

I offer tailored courses, in person or remotely, according to the needs of each student. For academic support, I adapt to the program followed by the child or adolescent, by deepening the concepts already covered, by re-explaining difficult points or by dissecting problematic themes.

For adults, I mainly teach the basics in Dutch, but I can adapt my lessons to different objectives. For example: learning the vocabulary for a new position, preparing for an exam (Selor, language certification), refreshing your knowledge before an interview, or improving your ability to communicate effectively in a professional or personal context. My approach is always flexible, student-centered, and aims to strengthen both understanding and self-confidence.

With over 20 years of experience teaching languages, I’ve worked with students of all ages, levels, and learning styles— I can quickly identify knowledge gaps and help students overcome them with practical strategies, clear explanations, and engaging materials. I believe in adapting to each student’s pace while pushing them to grow. Whether you're struggling with grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, or conversation, I’ll guide you with patience and a clear plan.
My teaching style is friendly, structured, and fully tailored to your needs—whether you're a complete beginner or looking to polish your fluency.
Our first lesson will be all about you—your goals, your challenges, and how you like to learn. Based on that, I’ll build a personalised lesson plan that suits your learning style. Let’s make learning Swedish something you look forward to—I’d love to help you reach your language goals!

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? 😄
