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.

About Me
I am an enthusiastic teacher with a passion for children's literature and fantasy as a genre.Between 2014 and 2019 I have been living in The Netherlands. I speak Dutch, French, German, Spanish, and a little Portuguese. So I know very well how challenging it can be learning a new language, or improving your language skills!
When I am free, I like going for long walks in the countryside, practising yoga, cooking vegan recipes, and discovering new sustainable fashion brands.

I am very happy with Silvia's Italian lessons. She explains with patience and enthusiasm and it is noticeable that she has a lot of experience! I can't wait to learn more from her.
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Very polite and welcoming. I enjoyed the class and the material used.
Enjoyed my lesson with Silvia and I like her interactive learning tools with the white board and books.
Silvia is not only very kind, she's also the best teacher I've had (and I've had a few). You can decide for yourself what part of the language you want to learn more intensively, while she also keeps an eye on the things you may think you know perfectly, but do not. She does this without making you feel bad or insecure, really giving you confidence by positivity.
Since 6 months Silvia teaches me Italian. According to me, she is a very good teacher. Her lessons are structured and she provides professional materials like study books and articles. She is patient and very reliable in keeping appointments. She also invests time in checking homework. I am making real progress. I recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Italian.

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.

Italian for Everyone - by a native speaker, certified teacher, postgrad student!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.

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 !!
