I am a tutor of Italian and English as a foreign/second language. I had the opportunity to teach in different contexts with multicultural groups of students from many countries and backgrounds. I am currently teaching Italian to individual students and corporate clients with different language requirements and purposes. I have also conducted a preparation course for Italian GCSE and A level exams in London. I teach to all levels and ages using a communicative and student-centred approach. My lessons are very interactive and focused on real life and cultural situations. I care about my students’ learning progress and achievements and I am keen to guide them in a friendly, dedicated and respectful manner. Moreover, one of my main goals as a teacher is to enable my students to enjoy the experience of communicating, thinking and reacting in a foreign language.

As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing. Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing. We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis. We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them. In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!

Ciao a tutti mi chiamo Elia e sono di Verona, la città di Romeo e Giulietta! Ho iniziato la mia carriera come insegnante nel 2024 dopo aver preso un certificato tesol/tefl per insegnare inglese. Qualche mese dopo aver iniziato a insegnare online tramite una piattaforma, una insegnante mi ha chiesto se potevo occuparmi dei suoi studenti di italiano perché non poteva più seguirli. Ho così iniziato a insegnare anche la mia lingua scoprendo di divertirmi molto nel farlo. Ho come studenti adolescenti, adulti e persone più avanti con l'età. Alcuni hanno iniziato da zero e altri erano già ad un livello B2/C1...ho imparato così ad adattarmi ai bisogni di ognuno di loro. Cerco di variare le mie lezioni includendo grammatica, audio, video e molta conversazione. Ovviamente mi sforzo di adeguarmi anche alle preferenze dei miei studenti preparando per loro delle lezioni mirate. Non ho mai insegnato a dei bambini, ma mi piacerebbe provare. Provvedo io tutti i materiali necessari, ho libri in formato digitale per tutti i livelli e anche per bambini e ragazzi. Ho inoltre un abbonamento zoom che mi permette di tenere lezioni di alto livello in tutta tranquillità. Oltre all' italiano e all' inglese, parlò anche un po' di francese e flamano e capisco un po' di spagnolo. Spero di potervi aiutare nel vostro percorso linguistico.....ci vediamo in classe! Hello everyone, my name is Elia and I’m from Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet! I started my career as a teacher in 2024 after getting a TESOL/TEFL certificate to teach English. A few months after I started teaching online through a platform, a teacher asked me if I could take over her Italian students because she could no longer follow them. That’s how I began teaching my native language as well, and I discovered that I really enjoy it. I teach teenagers, adults, and older learners. Some of them started from scratch, while others were already at a B2/C1 level... so I learned to adapt to each of their needs. I try to keep my lessons varied by including grammar, audio, video, and lots of conversation. Of course, I also make an effort to follow my students' preferences by preparing tailored lessons for them. I’ve never taught children before, but I’d love to give it a try. I provide all the necessary materials myself – I have digital books for all levels, including books for kids and teenagers. I also have a Zoom subscription that allows me to run high-quality lessons with no interruptions. In addition to Italian and English, I also speak a bit of French and Flemish, and I understand some Spanish. I hope I can help you on your language learning journey... see you in class!

Ciao! I have been teaching Italian for the past twelve years. I have taught privately and at language schools like La Scuola Italiana del Greenwich Village in New York and ItalCultura, the school of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago. During the first few lessons I will make sure you have the tools to pronounce and identify all the sounds of the Italian language. This step is essential! And it will make everything easier afterwards. When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling. When you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words. I will customize my materials to your interests, needs and desired pace. And because you are learning from a native Italian you will also learn about Italian culture and history. You will absorb a way of thinking, not just grammar rules. I speak a bunch of languages so I know a thing or two about how tedious language classes can be. My terrifying French teacher in middle school made us repeat the same fake dialogue from a really bad book ad nauseam, over and over and over again. Some of those dialogues are carved in my brain: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Richard Drapeau, je viens du Canada, je suis Canadien...” When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling and we will go on “talking walks” because when you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words. I hold a degree in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (Foreign Languages and Literatures) from Università Roma Tre (equivalent to an American MA) and a Master’s of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media from Columbia College Chicago. I wrote a thesis about translating a long epic poem by W. H. Auden and I tried to ride a horse across America.

As a certified CELTA instructor with more than 10 years of teaching experience, I offer classes tailored to each student's needs and goals. General English and French classes from A1 to C2 levels. Specific courses for exam preparation: IELTS, TOEFL, TEF, TEFaQ, etc. General Italian classes from A1 to A2 levels.

Languages represent a fundamental part of progress and cultural exchange between different populations. They can be one of the most captivating subjects of all, but also the most difficult. With me, learning will be tailored to your needs and goals, giving you the opportunity to love languages!

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.

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 !!

- 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.
