Conversation in Italian: Interactive Lessons for international students

From 22.31 £ /h

Ciao a tutti!

I would love to help you practice and learn my mother tongue, Italian, and guide through conversations in different topics, whether you want to move to Italy or just speak a bit during your Roman holidays.

Actually, I love teaching languages because I love learning them myself. For me, learning a language requires patience, willingness and joy. I also believe that learning something new in Italian every day is better than learning too much in a single day. I also think that you must use every new word you learn, by interacting and speaking as much as you can.
For this reason, each of my lessons always includes all 5 skills according to the CEFR:

- Spoken Production: e.g. I encourage learners to introduce themselves and speak about their main interests without being interrupted.
- Listening: e.g. I integrate songs, interviews, lectures according to the learner's goals.
- Reading: e.g. articles, film reviews, parts of books and news.
- Writing: e.g. formal and informal letters and e-mails, personal accounts, journals.
-Spoken Interaction: I always spend time in conversation with the student, at the beginning and the end of the lesson, in order to improve her/his fluency and confidence.

I also encourage (but not force!^^) students to do exercises on their own too, so that they are more prepared for the following lesson. I am patient and comprehensive, and I organize my lessons according to the learners' interests and personal goals. From A2- B1 level onwards, I try to speak only in Italian.

Extra information

I start with the student's material. I always use a combination of material from different sources. Good speakers and headphones needed (for pronounciation and listening parts). I usually share a common document with the students, and sometimes add some Powerpoint slides.

About Me

My name is Kaoru, I am Italian-Japanese and i currently work at the Institut Français in Düsseldorf as a lecturer for a French-German project called Francemobil.
I am an official examiner for the DELF exams in French for the A1-B2 levels.
I hold a Master of Science from Lund University (Sweden) in Media and Communication Studies, and a Bachelor of Arts from Université Toulouse 2 in "Cinéma et Audiovisuel". I worked in the educational field as well as in cultural events and film festivals in Europe.
My greatest interest are foreign languages and cultures, and cinema. I have personally experienced the challenge of learning foreign languages through immersive experiences in France, Japan, Germany and Sweden. I am therefore able to understand and help perspective learners into this difficult, yet exciting task.

German Language classes: Levels A1-B2 for International Students

31.24 £ /h

I currently work as a language teacher in a German Gymnasium (High School). After obtaining my C1 Goethe Zertifikat, one Summer Course in German at LMU Munich and a one-semester exchange in FAU Erlangen Nuremberg, I would love to help you learn this complex and extremely rich language, whether you are learning for passion, preparing for a Goethe exam or want to practice your conversation skills.

I have with me my "Bible" (a German grammar book I used during Covid... yes, I was bored) and can share with you a variety of exercises, powerpoints and links to help you understand how to learn this language in a way that fits your learning speed, your need, your interests and personality.

I know German is hard, so why not learn it with someone who struggled with it as well, but who's now professionally working in Germany - talking and writing German every day?

French Interactive Lessons + Preparation for DELF A1-B2

25.88 £ /h

Hello everyone,

after successfully obtaining my French Baccalauréat and a Bachelor's Degree in Cinema (Licence) with High Honors, I am currently working at the Institut Français in Duesseldorf, where I did a seminar to become examiner for the French DELF tests. I also work with schools and promote this language to a young public, and therefore developed a high pedagogical quality during this last year.

I am therefore ready to help you in all your needs with this language, which can be quite tough sometimes (think about pronounciation and exceptions to the rules), and which I struggled myself to learn before obtaining a high professional level.

I can prepare you with strategies to understand the structure of the national test and help you successfully pass it, but I can also encourage you to "unblock" your language skills with chill conversation sessions, or more rigorous grammar explanation, while sharing with my suggestions to embrace this enriching culture (be it with films, books, music or art).

Looking forward to help you enjoy - and master - French!
à plus,

Kaoru

- 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.

👋🏼 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 !!

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!

If you wish to brush up your Italian, resume a past series of lessons, or simply start from scratch learning Italian, this is the right lesson for you! I like to personalize each class/course according to the needs and goals of my students. My classes are focused on improving the student's communication skills. At beginner and lower intermediate levels, I prefer using a text book/ student book in the first part of the class. I usually use "Nuovissimo Progetto Italiano" and "Arrivederci" by Edilingua, or "Nuovo Espresso" and "Dieci" by Alma Publishing. For the second part of the lesson, I create engaging contents using original videos, press articles, extracts from blogs and social media, literary texts. If the students do not feel comfortable using Italian from scratch, I can switch to English, German, or Dutch. The course fee includes the correction of home assignments.

Italian is one of the most beautiful language in the whole world; and what’s better than learning it from an Italian girl without having to move from your couch? Absolutely nothing. I’m Lara and I’m a 23 years old student in Paris. I’d love to introduce you to this language via webcam online.
I speak English very fluently as well and I’m also nice and used to be around children, if you need lessons for your younger son or daughter.

I offer Italian lessons for adults using a specific, very lively and effective method that will allow you to understand, read books in Italian, watch films in the original version and above all to express yourself quickly, with a solid grammatical foundation, in everyday life, but also to have rich conversations with your interlocutors.
Possibility of face-to-face or video lessons, at your convenience, knowing that my video lessons are just as interactive and lively as in person.

The approach is organic, relaxed, and personalized:
✅Vocabulary in context

✅For anyone who wants to learn without stress, but combining rigor with enjoyment and Italian culture.

Shall we begin? 😄

Ciao! My name is Francesca, and I am a native Italian speaker with several years of experience teaching teenagers and adults. Whether you are learning Italian for travel, work, studies, or simply for pleasure, I can help you speak confidently and naturally.

Being a mother-tongue Italian means you will not only learn correct grammar, but also real, everyday Italian—the kind people actually use in conversations, movies, and daily life. I focus on pronunciation, fluency, and understanding how the language truly works, not just memorizing rules.

I have experience tutoring:
- Teenagers, supporting school programs and exams
- Adults, from beginners to advanced learners, including conversation and professional Italian

My lessons are always personalized. I adapt to your level, your goals, and your learning style. Some students want to speak for travel, others for work or relocation, and others simply for the joy of learning a beautiful language—and I build each lesson around that.
