Italian, French and English language tutoring and private classes
Private tutoring classes for young children, teenagers, adults and seniors who would like to:
> Learn Italian, French and/or English from scratch
> Do homework with the support of a tutor
> Improve and perfect their language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading)
> Prepare for language certifications such as PET, FIRST, TOEFL, DELF, admission exams...
> Practice their skills in fun conversations and/or for special occasions
About Francesca: I graduated as a translator and interpreter from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and I lived in different countries where I perfected my accent and pronunciation and I also learnt about the local culture (specifically Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, UK, the US).
I love foreign languages and cultures and my goal is to pass this enthusiasm on to my students as they also learn "boring" grammar rules. For me it's all about helping you find a method of language learning that makes it easy for you to remember new words and correct grammar.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Vuoi parlare l'italiano? Italiano con Rob per tuttiCiao, 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!

Italian Grammar and Literature. English Grammar and conversationI am an Italian native speaker with a bachelor in Italian Literature and Linguistics. In Italy, I usually teach English to high school students, or adults who want to improve their skills with this language.
Usually, I tend to use a non-academic approach, by focusing on the student's interests and make him/her applying the language to their everyday life, instead of simply learning the grammar rules by heart.
In my opinion, learning a new language should be fun and easy, nothing too stressful. What you will get from is a new positive and funny way to learn a foreign language such as Italian or English.

English Language Training for Professional and Personal DevelopmentDo you communicate in English with clients, colleagues, or people close to you? Do you want your pronunciation, expression, and comprehension to feel more natural and relaxed?
Are you trying to improve your English, but aren't sure which program and/or level fits you the best?
Are you interested in learning and practicing in real-world contexts in pursuit of accomplishing your goals?
Are you ready to enjoy using English even more while still achieving longer-lasting learning?
I'm a TEFL-certified, native English teacher from the United States of America with over ten years of professional experience all around the world supporting learners of all levels to speak more fluently and express themselves more deeply in English.
My approach begins with learning more about your specific learning journey, interests, and goals. This is the starting point for me to be able to tailor the feedback, learning materials, and lesson plans according to your language background, levels, and target objectives.
I believe that language learning always begins with building upon your capabilities in order to challenge you progressively and create longer lasting learning outcomes. Through the methods and techniques we will use, I have acquired fluency in both Spanish and Dutch; therefore, I can understand, translate, and provide instruction in these languages to support your English learning.
As I'm currently earning a second Bachelor's degree in English Language & Culture at Leiden University in the Netherlands, I am learning a great deal more about linguistics, pronunciation, grammar, academic research, writing, and how to facilitate effective communication in English. I'm specifically focused on English education through applied linguistics, language acquisition and performance methodologies, such as the use of English as a Lingua Franca amongst native and non-native speakers.
I have earned certificates in Teaching English as a Foreign Language(TEFL-320hr) and Hatha Yoga & Meditation Instruction(CYT-200hr). Continuing education has helped me to recognize the enormous importance of individual learning in combination with group work/training and feedback to improve one's practice and performance.
I will immediately share appropriate and useful resources as well as feedback for your learning and practice.
I can create interactive content during/after training sessions (audio, visual, literary) as requested to give you a competitive advantage beyond the context of the lessons for your own self-study as well.
Please contact me for more detailed descriptions of training sessions, levels, or anything else related to the lessons I have on Apprentus (including Hatha Yoga & Meditation). I’m very grateful to pursue this life path and share in the creation of cooperative practice and learning environments with fellow students!
Rippy
English Literature, Writing, and Public Speaking for Kids and Teens - Leiden and OnlineRippy is the fearless captain of Tumbleweed Writers, offering classes in literature, writing, and public speaking. She also dotes on libraries. As her children were growing up, she wondered if there was a way she could continue spending her days reading the mountain of books she had collected. In a burst of creativity, she designed several classes she believed would benefit and delight young people.
Genuinely, she wants to help a new generation of thinkers, readers, and writers. Imagining tumbleweeds jiggling, wiggling, and possibly even giggling as they fly across empty fields, she named her company after this thistle when she realized it could be a metaphor for writers who are often a bit clumsy and wild with ideas and words before finally tumbling freely and ferociously. Rippy creates a safe and inspired space for her students, who she nicknames 'tumbleweeds', where she brightly engages them in online classes.

Leonor
Law Student Teaching Portuguese, English or Law to People Excited to LearnHello! My name is Leonor and I am a Law Student from Portugal. In the last few months, I worked as an English Teacher in a Refugee Camp and Greece and before that I worked as a Portuguese and English tutor to both middle school and high school students. I had a 8.5/9 IELTS score and have lived abroad for several years, so English is a language I'm really comfortable in speaking.
I love creating worksheets and powerpoints. Furthermore, I love summarizing the topics I'm teaching in the end of each lesson and making sure the students never leave class with questions. Creating a comfortable environment for the students to make mistakes is something I consider really important.
I would love to teach you Portuguese and English, so you can improve your legal, writing and conversational skills in both languages!

Latin and Italian Class: Practicing and Learning easilyLatin is fascinating and, despite its reputation of being a dead language, it can still be useful today. However, being unique, it is not always easy to understand its grammar and syntax and translating from Latin can be hard. Having studied it since when I was thirteen and with two cum-laude degrees in Classics, I know Latin deeply. Moreover, I have experience in giving classes to high school students, therefore I am aware of its difficulties and I know how to tackle possible hurdles in the most appropriate way for each student.
Apart from Latin, I am an Italian native speaker, trained in Italian language and culture. If you want to strengthen or practice your Italian, I am the right person!
Feel free to contact me if you need help in learning/practicing these two beautiful languages!

English (ESL) and Portuguese language tutoring for adultsAlthough I am a trained philosophy teacher for secondary students, I have shifted my focus to tutoring English and Portuguese language learners. My goal is to provide dynamic classes that allow students to use functional language in real-world ways, but each class can be tailor-made to the individual's needs. I use Cambridge materials for my English classes, in addition to real-world texts and videos, to train students on grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. Student-centered classes are the most beneficial in my opinion, so I focus on having the student speak while also guiding them with the correct language depending on their problem areas.
