My name is Alex, and I teach Italian, English, and Russian to students ranging from 16 to 116 years old. I hold a master's degree in Language Sciences from the University of Venice Ca' Foscari, allowing me to proudly call myself a dottoressa. I tailor the training program to each student's specific needs, whether it's mastering conversation skills or preparing for exams.

I am Andrea and I live in Sicily, I have a degree in Communication and Public Relations from the Faculty of Political Sciences, I am a theater actor, and I am passionate about photography, cinema, travel, and sports in general. I have been teaching Italian for about two years, and I have mainly taught foreigners from all over the world. During my lessons, I use classical or modern texts, and I use my photographs to explain and describe everything they see. I organize conversations on topics of common interest. I use audio recordings to practice pronunciation and sentence structure. I create a total immersion environment where only Italian is spoken. I focus the first lessons on listening and comprehension, slowly introducing oral and written production." Your teaching methods sound both engaging and effective! Using your photographs must provide a wonderful personal touch to your lessons. How have your students responded to this approach?

Hello everyone! I'm Daniela and an Italian native speaker. I have lived in a number of different countries including Italy: Germany, United Arab Emirates and now in Spain where I currently live. This multicultural journey brought me closer to studying languages, which has always been one of my passions as well as a means to integrate myself into a new culture. I started by teaching Italian to children, giving Italian tuition and helping them with their homework. Over time, I discovered that teaching is my true calling and I started teaching Italian to adults with different backgrounds and levels. I received the CLTA certification from International House London. Here I learned not only the tools to facilitate learning the Italian language specifically online, but also importantly how to maintain the language learned for the long term. My lessons are prepared to adapt to the needs and interests of each student and to ensure they are actively engaged throughout. Lessons are enriched with video, audio clips and discussion on topics of interest for each student. If requested, we can also converse and discuss topics of general interest, eg sport, world events, cookery, Italian culture etc. If you are looking for a job and have to face a job interview in Italian, I could also help you with the preparation for the job interview and I can assist you in preparing Italian language texts. In the study of grammar, which is often the least "exciting" part of a language, I guide the student to deduce the grammatical rule independently and to apply it in more general contexts. Learning grammar in this way enables students to become more proficient faster and ensure the learning sticks. All in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Hi, my name is Monica, I live in Italy and have a degree in foreign languages and literature. I have lived abroad and understand the difficulty there can be in learning a new language. I have been an Italian language tutor for two years, I have participated in several linguistic tandems and attended teaching and learning courses. I will try to help you on this path by meeting your personality and needs and making learning effective and fun. I would like to teach you my language and also share with you the culture of my country to further enrich your knowledge. I have many interests such as literature, music and cinema. Hope to meet you soon!

I am a university teacher and researcher. I also have teaching experience at secondary school level. I am Italian and have a C2 level in Spanish and Portuguese, and a C1 level in French. I have a post-doctoral academic background and extensive teaching experience in both Italian and Portuguese, at both school and university levels. With a solid background in the humanities, I am also able to teach History and Philosophy (I have done so at various times in schools, and I currently do so at the university level. On a methodological level, I place great importance on listening to and engaging in dialogue with students. While I certainly have an understanding of the grammatical topics that are important to study and review, I deeply value flexibility. For example, if a student prefers simple conversation because it is more useful to them for personal reasons, I certainly don't insist on them doing exercises on the past perfect or future anterior! I worked in high schools for 3 years. I hold a certificate from the Instituto Cervantes relating to knowledge of the Spanish language (level C2). I have taught Portuguese at university. I have 11 years of experience as a translator from and to Italian of academic texts (articles, chapters, and books). I make an effort to carefully listen to the needs of my students. I tend to prioritise conversational practice over the mere memorisation of theoretical notions, while remaining mindful of the importance of studying the specific rules and structures of the language. Before each lesson, I always share a detailed work plan that includes theoretical guidance and exercises tailored to the student’s level of knowledge. I always provide an abundance of exercises, so that we can review and correct those we couldn't go over in the previous lesson together. I aim to vary the topics covered based on the gaps I perceive during the lessons. During the first lesson, we agree on a structured work plan, defining the relevant topics and themes to be covered, along with the methodology (which, if preferred, can also follow a simple conversation-based approach).

Hello! My name is Denis, and I am a passionate language tutor specializing in Romanian and Italian. Born in the Republic of Moldova, I moved to Italy at the age of 11, where I have lived and studied ever since. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistic Mediation and a Master’s degree in Political Science, and I am currently completing a Master’s in Political Expertise and International Relations. My academic journey has provided me with a deep understanding of languages, culture, and communication, which I integrate into my teaching methodology. Since 2021, I have been teaching on various online platforms, working with students from ages 6 to 60. My lessons are dynamic, engaging, and tailored to meet the specific needs of each learner. I believe that language learning should be an interactive and enjoyable experience, which is why I use a variety of materials, including textbooks, articles, videos, podcasts, and games, to create an immersive learning environment. In my classes, I emphasize practical conversation, helping students gain confidence and fluency in real-life situations. I provide continuous feedback and support, ensuring that each student progresses at their own pace. If you’re looking for a structured yet flexible learning experience that adapts to your goals and interests, I’d be happy to guide you on your language journey!
