Learn Italian with an expert and passionate native speaker teacher!

From 58.49 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.

- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living between Pisa and Rome. I have 10 years of 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. I can offer students private accommodation in Pisa, a comfortable private apartment in the historic center of the city, a short walk from my home.

- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and putting 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.

👋🏼 Hello! I'm Francesca. Do you want to learn or improve your Italian?
No problem, more than 300 students have studied with me and learned while having fun. I started teaching at 19 thanks to the director of my high school and I have more than 15 years of experience, in Italy and abroad, all over the world thanks to the internet.
I offer online Italian courses for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, i.e., C2. I always have quality reference books to recommend to students.
My classes are highly personalized and tailored to the specific needs of each student. I guarantee quality because I put a lot of passion and care into everything I do, trying not to overlook the details.

🚀 During the lessons, I will help you learn the basics of general Italian, paying attention to pronunciation and intonation while reading. I am always attentive to the needs of the students and ready to tailor my lessons. My lessons are an investment for the present and the future because they are prepared with passion, a lot of experience, and dedication 🧡.

🌟 If you are a beginner, don't worry because I take great care to make you feel comfortable.

➡️ I work on different levels: conversation on different topics, grammar, reading, writing, dictation and games (role-playing games in which the student can test himself by communicating in a natural and practical way with the teacher, as in real life).
In addition, preparation for official language certificates (CELI, CILS, PLIDA), the Swiss maturity exam, apprenticeship as a commercial employee CFC and tailor-made courses in a certain professional field.
➡️ All levels: A1-C2

Do you love Italy and would love to travel there? Would like to know more about the culture? My lessons are personalized to your needs and I make sure you don't get overwhelmed by the language, but enjoy the process of learning it! I always add a cultural element to my classes, so it's not just learning grammar, but learning how Italian people actually think and live.
Depending on your preference, I can teach the class fully in Italian or using English or Japanese when necessary.

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 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!

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.

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.

I teach Latin and Ancient Greek through a reading-based approach that brings the languages to life. Rather than memorising rules in isolation, students build grammatical understanding and vocabulary by engaging with authentic texts — discovering how the language actually works in context. Along the way, we explore the rich cultural and historical worlds behind the words, connecting language learning with the ideas, stories, and societies that shaped the classical world.

For Italian, I focus on practical communication and real-world listening skills. Using podcasts and conversational practice alongside structured grammar resources, students gain confidence in speaking and understanding Italian as it is used in everyday life. My aim is to make language learning both effective and enjoyable, helping students progress steadily while developing a genuine connection with the language.
