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.

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! 😊

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!

Language tutoring: communicative tecniques, foreign language barrierWe will work with language barrier, fears, the feeling of "understanding, but not talking".
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.

Learn and improve to speak Italian with a real FlorentineDo you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.
I am also available to proofread your writings.
