About Me

Hello! My name is Amelia, and I am a young woman who was born and raised in Italy. I graduated from Liceo Classico, a traditional Italian high school with a strong focus on humanities, particularly the study of classical languages such as Latin and Ancient Greek, as well as philosophy, history, and literature. The Liceo Classico is known for its rigorous academic approach and its emphasis on critical thinking, cultural heritage, and intellectual development. Over the years, I have developed a profound understanding of the Italian language and literature, which are at the core of my academic background.

During my time at the Liceo Classico, I immersed myself in the works of great Italian authors, from Dante Alighieri and Petrarch to modern literary figures. I also gained a solid foundation in Latin and Ancient Greek, which deepened my appreciation for the roots of the Italian language and its evolution over time. This experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of Italian grammar, writing, and literary analysis, and I am passionate about sharing this knowledge with others.

Now, I have moved to the Netherlands to pursue my university studies, and I am excited to share my knowledge of Italian with people who are eager to learn. Whether you want to improve your Italian for travel, work, or simply as a personal challenge, I am here to guide you through the intricacies of the language and explore its rich literary tradition with you.

I am ready to offer personalized lessons that cater to your needs, whether you are a beginner or looking to deepen your understanding of the language and its culture. I believe that learning Italian is not only about mastering grammar and vocabulary but also about embracing the culture, history, and beauty that come with it. I look forward to helping you achieve your language goals and share the passion I have for Italian!

Hello! My name is Mimi. I am a native speaker, and I teach Italian and English. I have a bachelor's degree - Italian and art history teacher.
I am an experienced teacher who uses all modern methods.

I think it is important to take the personal wishes of my students into account when drawing up a curriculum. Everyone learns with a specific goal and with the help of a tailor-made program this goal is best achieved. For example, it is possible to focus on Italian grammar or on speaking skills or to have all aspects (reading, listening, speaking and writing skills) come back.

I am an Italian student that can help you in several ways. Firstly, being Italian, I can be of great use for learning the language, the grammar, the pronunciation and about the culture. This goes along with my second ability that is of cooking Italian recipes.
Then I come from a scientific liceum that was specialized in mathematical and scientific courses, which makes me know high-school mathematics
The Italian cooking book is really varied and it is worldwide famous for its tastiness. Since I was little I had a passion for cooking, making me able to teach you how to cook different meals, form the antipasti to the desserts, including primo, secondo and other specialities.

I was born in Italy and i live there. I would like to teach people who are willing to learn this beautiful language because I know how difficult it could be to study it. I can give support in doing homework but it is also important to me to give conversation lessons. I can also explain different aspects of Italian culture especially art and food.

Altijd al een cursus Italiaans willen volgen? Verba Italica geeft Italiaanse taal- en cultuurles aan Nederlanders die Italiaans willen leren of die om wat voor reden dan ook geïnteresseerd zijn in Italië.

I am a professional teacher. I was born in Italy, and since 2008 I have been living in the Netherlands. I studied classical languages (Latin and old Greek), I have got a degree in Politics at the University of Naples, and a Master Ditals (teaching the Italian language for foreign students) in Amsterdam. Since 2008 I have been working as a teacher in many different schools as well as in companies. I have work experience also in helping with test preparation. In my classes, I deal with grammar and conversation (everyday and business conversation). I also studied music (piano) at Conservatorio and I love Opera, so I can help people who study Italian music. I give lessons at all levels, for beginners and for advanced. I speak English and Dutch. Feel free to contact me!

The Italian language is complex but interesting to learn. So is Portuguese (Brazilian and European).

I am available for teaching to any prospective student, at any level, considering I am a native speaker of both idioms, as well as of the English language. My classes are offered in English and I have quite a flexible schedule.

If you are interested to learn new, Latin-derived languages, feel free to contact me!

Due to the Covid-19 pandemics, I will primarily deliver lessons online. However, if you have a preference for physical contact, then we can find a compromise (with no variation on the lesson cost shown below).

In the first lesson, you can evaluate whether the classes are for you or not.

I am quite flexible in terms of time/cost!

Italy is a fascinating country, full of history and culture, and with its language is one of the most popular countries in the world.
During the lessons, we will go deep into the language to learn Italian grammar, how to communicate, and the most interesting aspects of Italian culture. We will discover how much of what is said abroad about Italy is true.

I will guide you through the different levels of the language, and most important I will customize the lessons according to your personal needs.

If your goals are living abroad in Italy, if you are a beginner, or if your level is higher and you want to improve the conversation skills I am here to help you!
