Italian for Everyone - by a native speaker / certified teacher / language enthusiast!

My name is Maia, I am 23 and Italian, but have moved to the UK just over 4 years ago to pursue my university studies – first at the University of Glasgow, now at the LSE. I've been teaching and tutoring children, teenagers and adults (including UN professionals) in English, Italian and Spanish for longer than I have been in higher education!

As someone who has navigated the challenges of learning new languages myself, I understand what it takes to communicate effectively. I love sharing practical hacks and tricks to help my students memorise vocabulary, understand speech, and master grammar through clear explanations, fun facts and etymology insights.

I offer flexible hours and lessons tailored to your goals, proficiency and needs, including exam preparation for A levels, University, CELI and Italian citizenship exams. We can focus on formal or informal communication according to your preference. I'm here to help you gain skills, confidence, and help you succeed!

Let’s work together to make your language learning journey both effective and enjoyable. Feel free to reach out to get started!

About Me

Ciao a tutti!

My name is Maia and I am an enthusiastic tutor with over 6 years of experience in Italian, English and Spanish. I am very passionate about languages myself and I am dedicated to helping learners achieve their goals and overcome any challenges that learning Italian may present.

I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in International Development and Humanitarian Emergencies at the London School of Economics, and I hold an Undergraduate Master's degree in International Relations and Sociology from the University of Glasgow. Before moving to the UK for university, I attended the Spanish section of the Liceo Statale Virgilio and passed the Italian and Spanish national exams with flying colours. I have further studied Russian at the Rossotrudnichestvo Centre, Advanced French and Mandarin at the University of Glasgow, and Indonesian during my time teaching in Gianyar.

My experience as both a student and a teacher has shaped my teaching style. I am patient and tailor all my lessons to each student's unique needs, using materials that are engaging and interactive. I believe in making learning accessible and fun by finding a balance between explaining grammar concepts effectively, practicing conversation, and learning through play – methods that have proved successful with learners of all ages, having applied the appropriate age-based adjustments!

Let me know whether you're having trouble getting started on your language-learning journey or looking to master your abilities further; I’m here for that. I enjoy seeing students gain confidence in themselves, and I offer an encouraging and open learning environment to help you speak Italian like a native!

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.

Francesca
Italian soprano offers coaching of Italian Pronunciation for singers
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!

Emilce
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).

Andrea
Italian as a foreign language - Impara l ́italiano divertendoti
Hi! I’m an Italian tutor with over 10 years of experience teaching the language. I speak English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German fluently, which allows me to use a contrastive approach in my lessons. This means I can help you understand Italian by comparing it with your native language, making the learning process clearer and more effective. I’ve taught students of all levels, and I focus on helping you progress at your own pace. My lessons are designed to be practical and focused on achieving real results, whether you're just starting or want to improve your skills. I also have experience teaching at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in São Paulo, Brazil, where I worked for several years. In addition, I’ve participated in professional development courses at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, where I deepened my knowledge of cooperative learning and online language teaching methods. If you’re interested in learning Italian, I’d be happy to help!

Elena
Speak and understand Italian; speak and understand Russian
- My goal is to open the possibilities of my students, which they have from the nature. - You will speak, understand, write and read Italian or Russian. And you'll do it well. - I work as on line via webcam or at student's location - just need your conviction and passion.

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 !!

Branca
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!
