Speak Italian like Italians! Learn with a mother tongue, lessons based on communicative approach.

Ciao! My name is Marika and I am Italian mother language. Learning a foreign language can be extremely difficult. The simplest way is to put into practice what you learn daily, and to do this you need a Tutor to talk to. A friendly and patient person who has already faced the difficulties of learning a new language.
That's why my lessons are based on conversation.
I believe the best way to learn is through speaking without fear - I'll take notes while you speaking and share with you some tools that help you to learn efficiently. "Provando si sbaglia, sbagliando s'impara"! (lear from failure!)


WHY CHOOSE ME:
I will get to know you and find out what your learning style is, so that our lessons are always tailored to you!
My approach is based on conversation. I will shape a method that stimulates conversation and interactivity with a touch of fun. You will improve your pronunciation and memorize many words.

I use games, fantasy situations, and dialogues that stimulate discussion between us. I will also use videos, audio, and articles to improve your speaking, listening, and pronunciation skills.

If you have never studied Italian, I will improve your language skills by guiding you step by step. We will start with phonetics, vocabulary and then with simple presentation dialogues. In a short time, you will find that you begin to understand and speak Italian.

If you have a specific purpose or interest, tell me! We will form a program together and maybe I will learn something from you.

See you soon!

Extra information

Bring a pen and paper. At the end of the lesson, I will give you a little homework.

About Me

Ciao! I'm Marika, an Italian teacher, museum assistant, and tour guide living in London.

I was born in Treviso, a city located in North-East of Italy and famous for the prosecco. I have a BA in Painting and Art History. After graduation, I traveled a lot and faced the challenge of learning a second language - just like you.

My work allows me to use both my mother tongue - Italian - and English to communicate efficiently with visitors in the museum. This increased my passion for languages and led me to teach my language to others, first through language exchange and then by teaching privately in London.

If I am not in the museum or teaching Italian you can find me in the park doing yoga.

Education

The University of Padua, Italy, Master's Degree in History of Art, years 2012-2014
The Academy of Art of Venice, Italy, Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts, years 2007-2011

Experience / Qualifications

Since moved to London in 2015, I have done language exchange (Tandem) and had been enjoying helping other people understanding my language & culture. Now, I teach Italian privately online.

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!

Denis
I offer Romanian, Russian and Italian lessons online
I offer fully online private lessons. You want to learn a foreign language easily and in a short time, then contact me without obligation. I offer the ability to fully customize the class to your needs and progress at your own pace. My online classes are usually taught by Skype but also by Teams, Meet, and Zoom. The student, after studying the material worked on in class, will have a 15/20 minute conversation with another native speaker regardless of the chosen language. My strategy is to study and immediately put into practice what is learned. I'm here for you!

Luana
Buongiorno! I offer interesting and engaging Italian courses for all levels, from beginners to advanced!
Welcome to all my future students! The lessons I offer aim to help you acquire a solid grounding in the Italian language, in a fun and engaging way. I will adapt the activities according to your level, interests and learning style to make each lesson stimulating and enjoyable. Our first lesson together will be introductory, so that we can get to know each other better and assess your level and your short- and long-term goals. You'll speak Italian right from the start, using practical activities and real-life situations. The courses include a series of different activities, such as listening, speaking and writing exercises. After learning or perfecting your knowledge of Italian grammar so that you can express yourself in an understandable way, I will accompany you in the discovery of Italian culture through lessons on history, art, cuisine and much more. I will be ready to give you constructive feedback after each lesson, to receive targeted corrections and suggestions for constant improvement. For those who wish and request it, I am available to leave exercises at the end of the lesson to correct together during the next lesson.

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.

Daniela
Italian and English Tutor, also available for French, Spanish and Portuguese support.
I am a very experienced qualified and certified language tutor, happy to support my students also with the preparation of international certificates. I hold a C2 certificate in English, as well as TEFL, and I have been living in London for 17 years. My native language is Italian, however, I am fluent and C2 certified in other languages too (French, Spanish, Portuguese). I structure my lessons based on my students ́ needs and I respect their learning pace, motivating them to achieve their full potential.

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 !!

Paolo Messina
Conversazioni in lingua italiana (per parlare italiano senza incertezze e senza errori)
Mi piace molto conversare degli argomenti che interessano ai miei allievi (la saldatura di una particolare lega metallica? la gestione di progetti di cooperazione internazionale? la terminologia necessaria per pilotare un CESSNA?) e aiutarli a sentirsi più sicuri nell'uso della lingua italiana.

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!

Valérie
ITALIAN COURSES FOR ADULTS in person or by videoconference
I offer Italian lessons for adults using a specific, very lively and effective method that will allow you to understand, read books in Italian, watch films in the original version and above all to express yourself quickly, with a solid grammatical foundation, in everyday life, but also to have rich conversations with your interlocutors. Possibility of face-to-face or video lessons, at your convenience, knowing that my video lessons are just as interactive and lively as in person.

Massimo
Italian class online or at the student's home
I teach Italian focusing more on conversation and touching on grammar a bit as well. I have materials, although students can purchase books to do the exercises at home. My method is very enjoyable and fun; you'll learn Italian in a very relaxed, stress-free way.

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.

Need help with Italian, Spanish, or French? I’m a native Italian speaker who grew up in Spain, so I’m fluent in both Italian and Spanish. I also studied French and earned the European Baccalaureate, so I can confidently help you with all three languages, whether you’re a beginner, need exam prep, or just want to improve your conversation skills. I work with kids, students, and adults, anyone looking to learn or improve their language skills.I have a C1 on the three languages (according to the European Baccalaureate, but I am in the process of getting the official certificates) and plenty of experience helping others, especially kids (I have many siblings, so I know how to keep learning fun and engaging!). I'm an international student in Groningen, currently I'm on my second year of studying International Communication at Hanze University of Applied Sciences. I sadly do not speak any Dutch, therefore the lessons will be taught in English, I also do not have a place to hold the lessons so we can do it online or I can travel to your place! If you’re looking for a patient and friendly tutor, feel free to reach out. As well as if you have any questions!
