Learn Italian in Leuven. Conversation, writing, grammar, literature.

If you dream of speaking one of the most melodious languages in the world, take the opportunity of trying some of my classes.
Italian is my mother tongue; I am a graduate of the University of Naples; I taught Italian in several language schools in Belgium.
I work in a very natural way, making the student able to speak simple sentences from the very first class. As a general rule I try to teach my classes in Italian, so that the student gets a very effective "full immersion" from the very beginning (support languages, like Dutch, English or French are used if absolutely necessary).
At the same time I pay attention to accuracy in pronunciation and grammar.
If the student is also interested in Italian literature, we start reading literary texts as soon as fluency in reading allows, according to the student's level and preferences.

Perfect teacher.
Giuseppe has a perfect sense of where the bottlenecks are and provides expert advice based on this. He is an experienced composer and can therefore see what positive skills you have and what needs to be worked on, and he has the best tools for that.

Dario
Italian Language, Literature and Conversation with Dario
Want to learn the language "del bel paese là dove 'l sì suona?" (Dante, La Divina Commedia, Inferno, canto XXXIII)? Crave to go deeper into the world of Boccaccio, Machiavelli, Ariosto, D'Annunzio and many others? Long to be guided into the knowledge of the sweet sounding culture, society and lifestyle of La Dolce Vita? Then I am the man! I am a cum-laude, international Master graduate with a Bachelor in literature from the University of Bologna, the most prestigious in Italy and one of the most ancient in the whole world. Plus, I possess the official diploma for teaching at Italian high schools. Ergo, I am ready to plan how with you to become "un Italiano vero", either through grammar study, literature explorations, informal conversations or a good mix of them all! I am well equipped to gradually introduce you, step by step, to an all-Italian learning experience, through English, French and some words of Dutch too. Absolute beginners, intermediate ad advanced Italy lovers, feel free to get in touch! Ciao!

Antonio
Italian professor, NATIVE and CELTA qualified, A-Levels, GCSE all levels
Hello everyone! I hold a doctorate in Italian, have been teaching Italian for 5 years and hold a CELTA teaching qualification. I've been preparing students for the A-Levels and GCSE (language + literature). I can prepare you for specific examinations, language lessons in general or teach you Italian for business. The lessons are for everyone, whatever their age or level (children to adults). I will make sure that you discover the Italian culture through the lessons, learn the correct pronunciation and of course learn some grammar. I am open to your needs and can speak a few languages to make sure you understand fully the lessons (of course, we’ll try to use mostly Italian in all our lessons depending on your level). I can’t wait to meet my new students! 😊

Diletta
Foreign languages help and improvement (Italian, Spanish, French)
I'm a current university student in the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting and I offer classes to to people who want to improve and/or practise a foreign language (Italian, Spanish, French). My teaching method focuses on the needs of the students. Each class is personalised depending on the aspects of the language that the student wants to improve (speaking, grammar, writing, comprehension). The classes are interactive and involve games and online ressources.

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.

Jehona
Private lessons for Italian, Latin, English and French.
My name is Jehona. Graduated in Italian Literature with a master in Science Linguistics, I give lessons in Italian, Latin , English and French for primary and secondary school, and to whoever is interested in these subjects. I only give lessons online via webcam, because I live in Italy. Thank you so much.

Francesco
Learning Italian and English with an intuitive and fun method
Is the grammar too complicated? Are the words difficult to memorize? If you find these difficulties with traditional methods, I am the right person for you. My name is Francesco and after completing a Master's degree in Philosophy I decided to dedicate myself to teaching Italian, first in Italian public schools and then privately. I am certified by the DILIT School in Rome as a teacher of Italian LS/L2 and I am TESOL certified in English, and in both cases what I have learned is that learning languages should above all be fun. I organize lessons adapted to each type of need, building a relationship of trust with my students based on their personal goals. Whether for work, as a hobby or to flirt, I will give you the tools to systematically and progressively learn the languages of Dante and the Maneskins, providing you with all the material you need.

Hélène
FRENCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE/FRANCAIS LANGUE ETRANGERE & PRIVATE TUTORING IN FRENCH/ ENGLISH/ ITALIAN
My name is Hélène. I have lived abroad for over 25 years: in Great Britain where I taught French, then in Belgium where I worked on different projects with the European institutions, and finally in Italy for 20 years where I was called upon to teach Frech to Foreigners at the University of Turin and where, at the same time, I directed cultural projects related to Francophone litterature in an institution called il Circolo dei Lettori. My way of teaching French as a Foreign Language is different from formalised learning processes, it is pragmatic, progressive and tailor-made. Why? First of all, because, before I became a teacher, I have been confronted to learning other languages: English, then Spanish, Portuguese and finally Italian. I have thus understood what is useful, mainly what is not, to enter another language, what gives the satisfaction of rapid progress in speaking, understanding, and writing... without approaches that are too often useless, time-consuming and costly for an unsatisfactory results. The FLE tuition, that is to say French as a Foreign Language, is intended for those who wish to learn French in order to be able to live in French-speaking environnement. However, it can also be of grat help for children/teens who do not have the grammatical fundamentals in order to be better at school. A language, any language, cannot be acquired just "at random", it has a structure, the grammar through which we must progress to learn. DON'T PANIC, GRAMMAR CAN BE APPROACHED WITH FUN & PLEASURE! My approach is TAILOR-MADE TO EACH, SO THAT FRENCH CAN BE USEFUL TO YOU IN REAL LIFE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. All my many students so far have liked the progression I give to my lessons and the relevance of my pedagogical approach, serious and easy-going at the same time.

Sara
Italian lesson with a native speaking girl from Italy
What better way to learn Italian with a native speaker? I am a sunny and quiet girl, available to offer lessons for homework and/or tutoring help. The lesson will be focussed on the needs of the student, moving from grammar to pure spoken communication.

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 !!

Noah
Italian language and Italian culture courses - study with an Italian teacher from Tuscany, the region in the heart of Italy.
Italian is a wonderful language for its diversity and musicality, which fascinates people all over the world. Obviously, it is a language that requires application and practice for its learning. This is why I organize my courses in a hybrid way: For beginners : First, we will learn how to read and pronounce words correctly, as well as the first basic constructions for communicating (subject, verb, complement). Secondly, we will discover the different phenomena of the Italian language, focusing on their use. The goal is to start expressing simple thoughts, while communicating and having fun learning the language. For intermediaries: We will deepen the knowledge of the language and consolidate basic constructions, while adding new knowledge. The goal at this level is to begin to express more complex thoughts and, above all, to be able to express oneself independently. For the advanced: The enrichment of the Italian language and the expression of emotions and opinions will be at the heart of our work. The materials I use come from books, manuals, videos, podcasts, and are personalized for each of my students.

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!

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.

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.
