Italian and Portuguese for Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced Learners

From 17.86 £ /h

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!

About Me

I am a Psychology student in the Netherlands. I have been teaching language (italian, english, and portuguese) for years now, as a side job. I would like to offer my private tutoring for students in need of it, as I understand learning languages is not an easy task at times.

I am an understanding and flexible guy, I try to use psychological, teaching-related, techniques in my classes, and I just wish to help others with learning!

Learn How To Play Piano Or Improve Your Piano Skills

26.8 £ /h

As many musical instruments, piano tells a story, expresses emotional experiences, communicates desires and wishes.

This class is for people (teenagers, young adults, or adults) who have always had the passion for piano but never had the opportunity to learn how to play. This class is also for those who simply want to improve their piano skills, going from a beginner to intermediate level.

This class has two major focuses:

1. For beginners: main focus on on piano practice, learning new songs with incremental difficulty, and understanding of the music sheet.

2. For intermediates: main focus on intermediate/advanced songs with in depth comprehension of the music sheet.

Skills you will acquire:

1. Beginners: you will learn how to play basic piano songs and obtain a basic knowledge of the music sheet.

2. Intermediates: you will learn how to play more complex songs and obtain a more advanced comprehension of the music sheet. Furthermore, you will learn the basis for piano music composition.

I want this class to keep students challenged, but absolutely not overwhelmed. So, I will evaluate the few homeworks that I assign after every session and provide constructive feedbacks, in order for you to better learn.

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 specialized in Spanish and English teaching mainly with kids but I have worked with all ages. The classes will consist of a lesson and a practical part as well as didactic homework to reinforce what was taught. At the end there will be a small learning check in both grammar and conversational skills.
The class is for students who are willing and excited of learning a new language, with me it will be easy to comprehend the language within 6 months and you will know all the insights on colloquial speech for whenever you need Spanish.

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!

Hi,

My name is Cathrine. I have completed my IB diploma at Birkerød Gymnasium. I am currently pursuing my degree in Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence at Tilburg University in the Netherlands.

I am originally from Malaysia but I have been living in Denmark for the past 5 years. However, English is my first language.

I am fluent in speaking, reading, and writing the language. Therefore, during the lesson, I will incorporate tasks and activities involving these 3 aspects. We will also go through basic grammar rules that will be useful for both writing and daily conversations.

I will provide printed worksheets and assignments (included in the fees of the lesson) to be done during the lesson and also as homework. Workbooks may be provided at an additional cost which you can work with on your own at home after the lesson. This is of course highly recommended for your own benefit as practice makes perfect.

In the first meeting, we will discuss further on the preference of workload and what you would like to learn.

For more inquiries, you can contact me and I will do my best to reply as soon as possible.

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.

I give private lessons from the four well-known books of the pre-education of the Islamic University in Medina (KSA).

Those who have dealt with these books are able to:
1) Read Arabic.
2) Write Arabic
3) understand/understand Arabic.
4) speak Arabic.
5) Understand the Friday sermons and other Islamic sermons in the Arabic language.
6) Do an Islamic education at an Islamic university or one can follow a complete Islam study in Arabic at another institution.

Information about the lessons:
- Classes are given online via Zoom.
- The student is able to see what I write in the notebook and I send this document to the student after each lesson so that he can start learning the notes and the glossaries.
- Everything of the lesson is translated and explained until the student understands it and only then do we continue In Shaa Allah.

You will not regret, I have three years of teaching experience and I used to not speak Arabic like you, so I know the pitfalls and know how to guide you best.

Let me be your guide in the Arabic language and let's take steps!

Spanish classes with a native teacher are an excellent opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the Spanish-speaking language and culture. During the lessons, the teacher, being a native speaker, has a deep command not only of grammar and vocabulary, but also of colloquial expressions, idioms and cultural particularities that enrich the language.
