Conversation in Italian: Interactive Lessons for international students
I love teaching languages because I love learning them myself. For me, learning a language requires patience, willingness and joy. I also believe that learning something new in Italian every day is better than learning too much in a single day. I also think that you must use every new word you learn, by interacting and speaking as much as you can.
For this reason, each of my lessons always includes all 5 skills according to the CEFR:
- Spoken Production: e.g. I encourage learners to introduce themselves and speak about their main interests without being interrupted.
- Listening: e.g. I integrate songs, interviews, lectures according to the learner's goals.
- Reading: e.g. articles, film reviews, parts of books and news.
- Writing: e.g. formal and informal letters and e-mails, personal accounts, journals.
-Spoken Interaction: I always spend time in conversation with the student, at the beginning and the end of the lesson, in order to improve her/his fluency and confidence.
I also encourage (but not force!^^) students to do exercises on their own too, so that they are more prepared for the following lesson. I am patient and comprehensive, and I organize my lessons according to the learners' interests and personal goals. From A2- B1 level onwards, I try to speak only in Italian.

Extra information
I start with the student's material. I always use a combination of material from different sources. Good speakers and headphones needed (for pronounciation and listening parts). I usually share a common document with the students, and sometimes add some Powerpoint slides.Location

Kaoru is great! Super helpful, flexible, and prepared. We have a good plan for me to speak, practice, and learn!
Great session with Kaoru, she is a very friendly and well prepared teacher. I felt very comfortable with her. I really recommend her.
Kaoru is wonderful! She prepared every lesson very well and provided me with great notes. I benefited a lot from these sessions, merci beaucoup !
She creates a text for each lesson based on my daughter's interests. And she is always patient. She is a very good teacher !
Hello everyone,
after successfully obtaining my French Baccalauréat and a Bachelor's Degree in Cinema (Licence) with High Honors, I am currently working at the Institut Français in Duesseldorf, where I did a seminar to become examiner for the French DELF tests. I also work with schools and promote this language to a young public, and therefore developed a high pedagogical quality during this last year.
I am therefore ready to help you in all your needs with this language, which can be quite tough sometimes (think about pronounciation and exceptions to the rules), and which I struggled myself to learn before obtaining a high professional level.
I can prepare you with strategies to understand the structure of the national test and help you successfully pass it, but I can also encourage you to "unblock" your language skills with chill conversation sessions, or more rigorous grammar explanation, while sharing with my suggestions to embrace this enriching culture (be it with films, books, music or art).
Looking forward to help you enjoy - and master - French!
à plus,
Kaoru
After obtaining my C1 Goethe Zertifikat, one Summer Course in German at LMU Munich and a one-semester exchange in FAU Erlangen Nuremberg, I would love to help you learn this complex and extremely rich language, whether you are learning for passion, preparing for a Goethe exam or want to practice your conversation skills.
I have with me my "Bible" (a German grammar book I used during Covid... yes, I was bored) and can share with you a variety of exercises, powerpoints and links to help you understand how to learn this language in a way that fits your learning speed, your need, your interests and personality.
I know German is hard, so why not learn it with someone who struggled with it as well, but who's now professionally working in Germany - talking and writing German every day?
Feel free to contact me anytime! Tschüß!

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.
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 !!
Veronica
Dynamic and practical classes in Spanish, Italian, or English.Hello everyone. My name is Vero and I teach Spanish, Italian, and English at different levels.
I'm a curious, organized, and very communicative person. I love hiking in nature, going to the beach, dancing, cooking (and of course, eating!), traveling, and discovering new cultures.
I thoroughly enjoy good conversations, whether on profound or completely unexpected topics. I'm passionate about meeting people from all over the world, sharing ideas, and learning from every experience.
I firmly believe that learning a language goes beyond memorizing rules: it's about connecting, expressing yourself, and opening up to new ways of seeing the world. That's why, as a teacher, I strive to create a friendly, dynamic environment tailored to your interests and needs.
My approach is 100% practical and adapts to each student's needs and goals. Therefore, from the beginning, I will tailor the classes to your needs, whether you want to improve your conversational skills, prepare for an exam, communicate better in your daily life, or learn a new language for a trip or a life change.
I offer dynamic classes focused on real-life situations and designed to help you overcome your fear of speaking from the very beginning.
I work with a variety of materials (audio, text, videos, interactive exercises) and help you develop all your language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
I know all too well how overwhelming and frustrating learning a new language can sometimes be. That's why I'll guide you with patience, empathy, clarity, and a lot of motivation to make it a fun and enriching experience.
So, if you're looking for effective, enjoyable, and goal-focused classes, feel free to book a session with me. See you soon!

Private Italian lessons from beginner to advanced with an Italian native languageHi, 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!

Italian lessons held by experienced Italian teacherI’m a native Italian speaker with a Bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures, I studied in particular English, German and Italian didactic. Right now I'm about to take a Master's Degree in Translation for International Relations.
Three years ago I started teaching Italian during my university internship and I understood that's what I want to do for a living. Since then I never stopped: I volunteered as an Italian teacher to refugees and I started teaching online courses for those who love and would like to get to know this beautiful language! I also attended a specific course about teaching languages using games and a playful approach for adults.
I use a fresh approach to language teaching: I like to adjust my method to my student. I taught to people coming from all around the world and of all ages: from 8 to 71! My method depends on the source language; the starting level; the final goal; in which context the student would like to use Italian, and so on. I like to include games, songs and novels in my lessons, if the student is interested in any of these.
Right now I'm located in Italy (Palermo), but in August I'll move to Berlin.

Giorgia
Native Italian speaker, PhD holder, with 7 years of teaching experience, offers Italian language courses.Hello,
My name is Giorgia.
I hold a PhD in Italian from the Department of Romance Studies at UNC-University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I also hold a Ph.D. in Contemporary Philosophy focusing on Italian and French Aesthetics. I worked for fifteen years as a translator from French into Italian.
My academic research is interdisciplinary and combines literary criticism and philosophy. My research interests include the relationship between contemporary Italian and French literature, the Italian and French avant-garde movements in literature and film, and the interactions between literature, philosophy, the arts, and film.
For seven years, I have taught Italian at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels, and also taught a course on Italian cinema. In my teaching, I strive to contribute to improving conversational fluency, refining writing skills, and enriching vocabulary. Through contributions on art, history, politics, daily life, cinema, and Italian literature, I invite students to experience the complexity and richness of Italian culture and language.
In addition to being my mother tongue, Italian is a language I love and enjoy teaching. My experience teaching Italian has allowed me to experiment with many different teaching methods, find my own unique teaching style, and, above all, develop teaching activities that have proven very effective with students from the United States, France, and many other countries.
My courses are aimed at all students who wish to master spoken and written Italian, those who want to pass the Agrégation and/or CAPES Italian exams, but also those who wish to cultivate the study of Italian to progress even simply in conversation.
Thank you for your attention.
Giorgia

Italian as a foreign language - Impara l ́italiano divertendotiHi! I’m an Italian tutor with over 10 years of experience teaching the language.

Malika Ould
Private Italian courses for academic support and adultsItalian is my second language after French. Being in my third year of business school, I have a solid academic background behind me.
For my tutoring sessions, I tailor my classes to each student's needs by combining practical exercises, Italian conversations, and targeted revision. My classes include identifying areas for improvement in advance, interactive activities to help students progress effectively, and support with revision. I also volunteer to write revision sheets. I understand students' difficulties, and contributing to their success is my priority. My classes are aimed at students in compulsory education, up to grade 11.
For Italian classes for adults, I'm open to all types of topics and I'm equally adept at teaching beginners and more advanced students. I tailor my classes to your needs and desires, and I truly enjoy building rapport while teaching. I combine both oral conversations in Italian with more literary or written activities.
