Italian lessons for any level: in person, online, solo or group!

I've been teaching Italian for over 5 years, armed with a Double Degree in Languages, plus not one, but two Masters! 🎓 🇮🇹 And here's the ciliegina sulla torta: I just kicked off another Master's in Teaching Italian to Foreigners at Ca Foscari University.

Now, I've got an awesome group of 10 recurrent students learning together with me (some solo and some in small groups or couple), each with specific goals, needs, and motivation. And I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Are you ready to embark on an incredible adventure through the enchanting world of Italy, Italians, and gestures? :-)

We begin by assessing your level, goals, and needs. Together, we craft a personalized plan, ensuring that your learning experience is tailored, efficient, and effective. The classes are tailored to suit your individual level, needs, and goals. Depending on you, we will use textbooks, online tools, or articles among others.

My approach encompasses various aspects such as conversation, vocabulary, grammar, Italian culture, or test preparation.

About Me

You know what's a delightful combination? Breakfast pizza! There's something special about indulging in a delicious slice while watching funny YouTube videos in Dutch. Yes, I'm a student myself, always eager to learn and explore.

When I'm not devouring pizza or expanding my knowledge, you can find me immersed in a book, staying active with sports, or simply enjoying time with friends.

But here's something serious about me: I've actually learned five languages and starting a new one: Chinese! And I'm not just here to teach you one of them fluently, but also to share all the tricks and techniques that will make your language learning journey effortless and enjoyable.

So, what are you waiting for? Book a class!

Tanya
Italian and Spanish with a polyglot (8 languages) and Professional language coach
Hi! I'm Tanya. I was born in Italy, but I have spent the last two years of my life traveling the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East and Central Asia, traveling and working remotely. I am a professional teacher with 7 years of experience. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, and panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice. I have a language degree, I am certified in international law, and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language but also how to learn new languages! I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills! That's because I like learning new languages! That's why, after years of studying, I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and devised a method to teach you the language you want to learn! Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way. My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience, I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language. My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning. My lessons are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic. GROUP LESSONS possible! See you soon! :-)

Learn Italian from a Roman artist in Rotterdam - order your coffee like a pro
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.

Not only fun but also educational Italian lessons and language training at different levels: conversation lessons incl. grammar, preparation for the CELI/CILS exam, crash course, weekend course on request. I teach Italian in a communicative way: together we look at which method is best for the student. Not only using a textbook but I also look for authentic materials for my students to learn and speak Italian quickly and easily.

Fortunella
Passionate native Italian to teach you authentic ITALIANO!
This class is aiming for confident Italian speakers and practice is the best way to improve language fluency. My students and I love to split each class into two parts: the first half generally focused on grammar (foundations are crucial) and the second always dedicated to speaking activities and conversation. We'll talk about a number of different topics and share content and ideas while having lots of fun. Classes will be in English, hopefully in Italian :) Please contact me for a tailored learning program designed on your needs!

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.

Vuoi parlare l'italiano? Italiano con Rob per tutti
Ciao, my name is Roberto :) 
I graduated in Political and Economic Science at the University of Milan. After working for a year for an American company in Milan, I moved to Australia, where I have worked, studied and traveled for two years.
It has been an incredible experience! I had the opportunity of visiting beautiful places, discovering so many different cultures and developed myself from a personal and professional point of view.
Since two years, I have been living in Haarlem - a wonderful city close to Amsterdam - and to the coast 🌊 - in the Netherlands. I love teaching and helping people to find out more about Italian culture, history, and arts. I would love to use all the modern techniques of teaching that I learned and practiced them with you. Teaching is an extraordinary passion! Parliamo italiano!

A full Immersion in the Italian language and culture! Siete pronti?

Italian for Passionate Students that would love to learn more of the language and its culture
Learning Italian is a gateway to a world of rich cultural experiences and practical advantages. Italian opens doors to Italy's renowned art, history, and cuisine, allowing you to fully appreciate masterpieces by Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, and savor authentic Italian dishes in their true context. It enhances your travel experiences, enabling deeper connections with locals and a more immersive exploration of Italy’s beautiful landscapes and historic sites.

It fosters a deeper understanding of different cultures and enhances your ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. In essence, learning Italian enriches both your personal and professional life, making it a language that brings joy, cultural insight, and valuable opportunities.

Anastasie
From Sorbonne to Amsterdam! English Immersion & Conversation Course: Culture, News, Politics
Bonjour, I'm of mixed French and Polish origins and I've been living in Paris for many years. I hold a PhD degree in French Literature from Sorbonne University and I've been teaching French and English since 2013. During my class, you will learn how to communicate effectively - and in order to speak, you'll need to practice! I have a passion for French culture, literature, music, film and theatre, and I believe that it's through culture and experiencing the language directly in everyday life that you really immerse yourself in a language. I train also for exams and DELF/DALF. Apart from this, I work as a tour guide specialised in French medieval architecture and a week-end trip to Paris (sightseeing included!) can be planned during the course to immerse in French language, cinema, food and beautiful Parisian museums. Practicing French in French boulangeries, restaurants and bookshops in Amsterdam can be planned as well. If you're interested in more than practicing speaking and pronunciation skills, we can alternate the grammar/writing classes (held at home) and conversation classes (held anywhere!). We'll use news, social media, Netflix and much more. À bientôt !

I graduated from a linguistic high school in 2019, studying English, French, and Spanish as subjects of focus. I also got an ESABAC degree (French diploma). Moreover, I traveled a lot to get in contact with mother tongue people and to improve my language skills. I have recently moved to the Netherlands and I am planning on starting a PPE Bachelor in September.
