My courses are designed to provide a strong foundation in both the linguistic structures and cultural nuances of the Italian language, ensuring a holistic and engaging learning experience.

After handpicking the finest produce, meats, and herbs, we return to the kitchen to prepare and cook a meal inspired by what we've found. This activity not only highlights the importance of sourcing quality ingredients but also teaches you how to create a complete, authentic Italian meal from start to finish, with an emphasis on sustainability and freshness. Finally, Modern Italian Cuisine combines classic techniques with innovative approaches, showcasing contemporary interpretations of traditional dishes.

Emma
Italian lessons. Italian lessons online or in person.
- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living in Rome. I have 10 years 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. - The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and put 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.

Noah
Italian language and Italian culture courses - study with an Italian teacher from Tuscany, the region in the heart of Italy.
Italian is a wonderful language for its diversity and musicality, which fascinates people all over the world. Obviously, it is a language that requires application and practice for its learning. This is why I organize my courses in a hybrid way: For beginners : First, we will learn how to read and pronounce words correctly, as well as the first basic constructions for communicating (subject, verb, complement). Secondly, we will discover the different phenomena of the Italian language, focusing on their use. The goal is to start expressing simple thoughts, while communicating and having fun learning the language. For intermediaries: We will deepen the knowledge of the language and consolidate basic constructions, while adding new knowledge. The goal at this level is to begin to express more complex thoughts and, above all, to be able to express oneself independently. For the advanced: The enrichment of the Italian language and the expression of emotions and opinions will be at the heart of our work. The materials I use come from books, manuals, videos, podcasts, and are personalized for each of my students.

Hélène
FLE (FRENCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE) and SCHOOL SUPPORT IN ENGLISH AND ITALIAN
I taught adults at the University of Turin in Italy for 10 years, and high school students in France and, above all, I also learned languages! I thus understood what is useful and what is less so for entering another language, what gives the pleasure of seeing oneself progress, of beginning to speak, to understand, to write... The FLE course, that is to say French as a Foreign Language, is certainly intended for those who wish to learn French in order to fit into a French-speaking context, but also for children/adolescents who do not have the grammatical bases to be good at school. A language, any language, cannot be acquired just "at random", it has a structure called grammar through which one must progress in order to learn. DON’T PANIC, GRAMMAR CAN BE APPROACHED WITH PLEASURE! Many students liked the progression I gave to my lessons and the relevance of my pedagogical approach, both serious and fun.

Anna Laura
Italian language teacher. Kids, teens and adults classes
Hello! My name is Anna Laura and I have a Master's degree in Linguistics and Foreign language teaching. As an experienced and passionate educator, I believe in innovative and student-centered learning courses. With my dedication to fostering a love for learning and my expertise in creating engaging lesson plans teach to children, teenagers, and adults for any kind of need (school, work, travel, etc.), I currently work in a high school and online. With over five years of teaching experience, I have developed a deep understanding of the importance of creating a positive and inclusive classroom environment. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and it is my mission to provide them with the tools and support they need to thrive. Through my previous roles, I have honed my ability to differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs of my students, ensuring that each individual receives the personalized attention they deserve. I look forward to meet you in your next Italian class!

Sara
Italian lesson with a native speaking girl from Italy
What better way to learn Italian with a native speaker? I am a sunny and quiet girl, available to offer lessons for homework and/or tutoring help. The lesson will be focussed on the needs of the student, moving from grammar to pure spoken communication.

Diletta
Foreign languages help and improvement (Italian, Spanish, French)
I'm a current university student in the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting and I offer classes to to people who want to improve and/or practise a foreign language (Italian, Spanish, French). My teaching method focuses on the needs of the students. Each class is personalised depending on the aspects of the language that the student wants to improve (speaking, grammar, writing, comprehension). The classes are interactive and involve games and online ressources.

Lara
The magnificent ITALIAN language from an Italian girl!
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 21 years old student in Pavia. 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.

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
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 !!

Francesco
Learning Italian and English with an intuitive and fun method
Is the grammar too complicated? Are the words difficult to memorize? If you find these difficulties with traditional methods, I am the right person for you. My name is Francesco and after completing a Master's degree in Philosophy I decided to dedicate myself to teaching Italian, first in Italian public schools and then privately. I am certified by the DILIT School in Rome as a teacher of Italian LS/L2 and I am TESOL certified in English, and in both cases what I have learned is that learning languages should above all be fun. I organize lessons adapted to each type of need, building a relationship of trust with my students based on their personal goals. Whether for work, as a hobby or to flirt, I will give you the tools to systematically and progressively learn the languages of Dante and the Maneskins, providing you with all the material you need.

Paola
Private Italian lessons from beginner to advanced with an Italian native language
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!

Silvia
Online private lessons in Italian language, culture, and lifestyle. All levels. Master of Arts Leiden University, Ditals I.
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.
