About Me
I am a young licensed Italian teacher living in Belgium. Teaching is my life goal and the grounding reason of my university studies. I see teaching as a partnership between the teacher and the student: both will be enriched by the process and will end up learning something. I like to use different approaches in my teaching activities and to tailor my teaching strategies on the person I study with.I used to live in Northern Italy (Bologna, where I studied) but I am originally from the magic South (Monopoli, Puglia). Linguistics, literature, history and anthropology have been the main pillars of my courses of study.
My hobbies are music and basketball: I cannot imagine my life without them.

Ciao everyone!
I am Dario and I am a licensed Italian Latin teacher. I studied Latin in high school and both in my Bachelor and Master at the University of Bologna, historically recognized as the best Italian university for Latin learning.
I am properly trained and experienced to tackle different learning needs.
Do you judge Latin the most boring subject on the planet and ask yourself why you need to take on that exam? I will make you discover the hidden beauty of this language and its many contacts with contemporary European idioms. Do you want to go deeper into a culture and literature that fascinates you, maybe earning some acquaintance with those weird but kinda familiar words? I will let you in the most fundamental historical, linguistic and cultural heritage for our European civilization.
I can teach in English and French - and of course Italian, my mother tongue :) - to get with you into the Ancient Latin World.
Grammar, literature or history: contact me if you want Latin universe to have no secrets for you!

Learn Italian in Leuven. Conversation, writing, grammar, literature.If you dream of speaking one of the most melodious languages in the world, take the opportunity of trying some of my classes.
Italian is my mother tongue; I am a graduate of the University of Naples; I taught Italian in several language schools in Belgium.
I work in a very natural way, making the student able to speak simple sentences from the very first class. As a general rule I try to teach my classes in Italian, so that the student gets a very effective "full immersion" from the very beginning (support languages, like Dutch, English or French are used if absolutely necessary).
At the same time I pay attention to accuracy in pronunciation and grammar.
If the student is also interested in Italian literature, we start reading literary texts as soon as fluency in reading allows, according to the student's level and preferences.
Mariia
Italian Language Lessons for kids, students, adults (online/offline)Are you interested in Italian culture and language? Are you planning to move to Italy for work, study, travel, volunteering? Then this class is for you! Italy is one of the countries where not that many citizens speak English language, therefore it might be difficult to adapt to locals without knowing Italian, at least basic one.
By this class I would like to immerse you into Basic Italian language and culture. For the teaching purposes, throughout the classes, I will use different highly-rated textbooks of local editions, effective YouTube channels, interesting articles. I will cover main functional areas of Italian grammar and vocabulary within different areas and will make sure that you start speaking since the first class already, since Practice Makes Perfect and Italian is not so difficult as it may seem at first!
The goals, needs, expectations will be discussed in person with every student and adapted towards personality. The program and classes content will also depend on the prior mentioned factors. Feel free to contact me for questions and classes.
Antonio
Italian professor, NATIVE and CELTA qualified, A-Levels, GCSE all levelsHello everyone! I hold a doctorate in Italian, have been teaching Italian for 5 years and hold a CELTA teaching qualification. I've been preparing students for the A-Levels and GCSE (language + literature). I can prepare you for specific examinations, language lessons in general or teach you Italian for business. The lessons are for everyone, whatever their age or level (children to adults). I will make sure that you discover the Italian culture through the lessons, learn the correct pronunciation and of course learn some grammar. I am open to your needs and can speak a few languages to make sure you understand fully the lessons (of course, we’ll try to use mostly Italian in all our lessons depending on your level).
I can’t wait to meet my new students! 😊

Practice Italian and discover the Italian culture with a native speaker!I am an Italian native speaker in Leuven until the end of January and I would like to help people improving their knowledge of the Italian language. I am a 24 years old girl from Verona. I study English and Russian for a Master's degree, so I am used to the learning of languages.
The lesson could take place in any library or wherever the student wishes.
Verdiana
Learn Italian from a native speaker: grammar, oral and written skills!Hello, I'm Verdiana and I'm a Master student at KU Leuven.
I tutor students and offer private lessons since I was 16, thus I've gained quite some experience on the topic.
My main focus is on foreign language because I've studied them for 5 years. Here in Leuven though, I would like to teach Italian, my native language.
During a one-hour-class, you'll get the chance to explore the (difficult but fascinating) Italian grammar, to practice both your oral and written skills and to learn some useful Italian phrases.
Don't hesitate to contact me in case of any question!

Do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
I am looking forward to meeting you!

I am available during the week in the evening after 7 p.m., and in the weekend all day.

It will be an easy-going class with elaborated communicative tools tailored individually. By default, the class incorporates grammar, pronunciation, style distinction.
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.

English Language and Linguistics (A level and UG) and Year Abroad dissertation help (Fr, Sp, It)In this course, you will learn a range of linguistic methods and learn the terms used for describing a specific aspect of language or phenomenon (lexis, morphemes, and 'telegraphic stage' to give a few examples). The course requires you to explore your own data using quantitative and qualitative analysis (eg: how frequently are slang phrases used? Are there new auxiliaries being created?). No historical linguistics or literature is involved, but language change or specific traits will be sampled via your own data collection (if this is what is demanded in your course).
As many students need to present a "year abroad" dissertation at University level (3rd year in the UK of a Modern Languages or Linguistics Undergraduate course) I can help you to research and structure your year abroad work, both in English (Linguistics) and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish). The topics that have arisen from recent discussions with students relate to French Caribbean writing, Italian resistance and reprisals in Rome (Fosse Ardiatine), and Spanish Etica franquista in films (among others).
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 levelHello 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 !!
Paola
Private Italian lessons from beginner to advanced with an Italian native languageHi, 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!
