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!

Paola
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!

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 !!

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.

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.

Silvia
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.
