Learn Italian with an expert and passionate native speaker teacher!

From 60.16 C$ /h

My name is Cristina and I speak Italian as a native language. I was born and raised in Italy, where I graduated and worked as an Italian teacher for children and teenagers from 6 to 15 years old, both Italian and foreign. Four years ago I moved to the Netherlands. Here I started teaching Italian to anyone who wanted to learn my beautiful language, both in person and via webcam. I currently have students of all ages and with the most diverse objectives: those who want to go on holiday in peace, people who have recently moved and want to integrate, young people who study or want to work for Italian companies and bilingual children who want to improve their pronunciation.
I like to prepare my lessons with great care. During the trial lesson, I encourage my students to speak as much as possible to understand their level of knowledge of the language and what their goals and interests are. At this point I can organize a personal program.
I mainly focus on the conversation, regardless of the starting level of the student. Starting from a short dialogue, an article or a video, I draw inspiration to deepen vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. I use different types of material: texts, newspaper and magazine articles, original or simplified, games and interactive exercises, everything that can make the lesson exciting, fun and productive! And for those who want it, there is no shortage of homework, which you can do online or in textbooks, depending on your taste.
Since moving, I have also started studying Dutch and this has helped me enormously in understanding the difficulties that students, especially adults, can encounter when learning a foreign language. I was able to compare different methods and experiment on myself with different theories and techniques.
In addition to professionalism, I believe in passion for what I do, which is reflected in every moment of my lessons.

Extra information

For teaching, I use slides that I prepare myself and send to the student, so that he can always look back at what we have studied. I will provide all the materials you need. Only those who want to receive information about purchasing books.

About Me

Mi chiamo Cristina e sono madrelingua italiana. Sono nata e cresciuta in Italia, dove mi sono laureata in Lettere e Filosofia Italiana. Ho lavorato come insegnante di italiano per bambini dai 6 ai 15 anni, italiani e stranieri. Nel 2019 mi sono trasferita nei Paesi Bassi. Qui insegno l'italiano a tutti coloro che amano imparare la mia bellissima lingua! Ho attualmente studenti di tutte età e con i più diversi obiettivi: turisti che vogliono partire tranquilli per le vacanze, persone che si sono recentemente trasferite e vogliono integrarsi, ragazzi che studiano all'università, appassionati, imprenditori o bambini bilingue che devono migliorare la pronuncia.
Adoro preparare le mie lezioni con grande cura. Durante la lezione di prova incoraggio i miei studenti a parlare il più possibile per capire qual è il loro livello di conoscenza della lingua, quali sono i loro obiettivi e gli interessi. Cerco di fornire materiale divertente, disersificato, interessante e stimolante.
Mi concentro soprattutto sulla conversazione, qualunque sia il livello di partenza dello studente. Partendo da un breve dialogo, un articolo o un video prendo spunto per approfondire il vocabolario, la grammatica e la pronuncia. Utilizzo varie tipologie di materiale: testi, articoli di giornali e riviste, originali o semplificati, giochi ed esercizi interattivi, tutto ciò che può rendere la lezione appasionante, divertente e produttiva! E per chi lo desidera non mancano i compiti per casa, da fare online o su libri di testo, a seconda dei gusti.
Da quando mi sono trasferita ho iniziato a studiare anch'io l'olandese e questo mi è stato di grande aiuto nel comprendere le difficoltà che gli studenti, soprattutto adulti, possono incontrare nello studio di una lingua straniera. Ho potuto confrontare vari metodi e sperimentare su me stesso diverse teorie e tecniche.
Oltre alla professionalità, credo nella passione per quello che faccio, che traspare in ogni momento delle mie lezioni.

Education

Ho prima conseguito il Diploma di Maturità presso il Liceo Classico San Bernardino da Siena di Udine (Italia). Quindi mi sono Laureata presso la Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia di Udine, con corso in Conservazione dei Beni Culturali.

Experience / Qualifications

Ho insegnato in Italia a bambini italiani e stranieri tra i 6 e i 15 anni.
Nei Paesi Bassi prima ho insegnato italiano come volontaria, dando lezioni ad un gruppo di adulti. Quindi ho iniziato a insegnare sia in persona che via webcam con diverse piattaforme. Attualmente seguo studenti di tutte le età, dai 6 anni in su.

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

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!

Hello everybody! My name is Isabelle and I have been a French teacher for several years. I have an A2 Baccalaureate, I have worked in several companies and in several places, in particular in Monte-Carlo and Algiers when I was in marketing at ABB. Currently I live between Nice (France) and Milan (Italy) where I give French lessons to Italians who require either academic support or to improve their level in preparation for the DELF or DALF. The first lesson is to assess your level and to know yourself.
Please feel free to contact me for anything.
Thank you and see you soon! Isabelle

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 !!

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 my time at university, I gave private lessons to Erasmus students in Italy. That experience further strengthened my interest in teaching. For many years, I have been giving individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online to students of various levels. Whether you want to learn or improve your Italian, I am happy to help you.
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!

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.

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 23 years old student in Paris. 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.

Ciao, caro amico ! 🖐🏼
No more boring grammar and learning irrelevant texts. Italian is a language of emotions and gestures 😍🙏🏻🤙🏼

We will study the most beautiful language via interactive tools, videos activities and role-play dialogues no matter what level you're on. I'm the only one who teaches Italian dialects (they are so different)

Students enjoy my lessons because I'm a good listener and make every lesson personalised.

Since 2020 I've been helping people level up their Italian for study, professional and immigration reasons.
What's your goal ?

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.

Do you find yourself translating in your head before every sentence or struggling to communicate naturally in everyday situations?

My lessons are designed for students who want to move beyond textbooks and build the confidence to speak Italian & English naturally and with ease.

I’m a native Italian speaker with a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Interpreting and Translation. Over the past five years, I've worked in international environments and as a digital nomad, communicating every day with people from different cultures and backgrounds. I've also been teaching private online conversation lessons for the past year.

Through real conversations, authentic materials, everyday expressions and cultural insights, you'll learn not only the language itself but also how Italians actually communicate in daily life.
