Hi, I’m Federica, I’m an Italian native speaker, I am here to help you improve your Italian. I was born in Milan in northern Italy. In my... free time I like to play sports, plan trips and study economics. Italian is not just a question of grammar but also of culture, so I would like to teach you as much as possible about all the aspects you need to understand Italy. I've been teaching on italki since August 2019 and I also give private lessons of economics since 2018. Over this time I developed a very flexible method, which allowed me to teach to students of any level and with different goals, preferences and needs. During our lessons, I'll always try to create a relaxed atmosphere so you can feel at ease and have fun while learning. I usually conduct my lessons in Italian as much as I can, so you get used to it, but I can also use English if you like. I will do my best to make you feel at ease: relaxed atmosphere, no pressure at all and a little bit of humour, which never hurts. Lessons will be built on your specific needs: conversation, small talk, discussion on various topics, useful phrases for travel, but also reading, listening, pronunciation and grammar, when needed. I'll correct your mistakes, however I'll always be very careful not to interrupt your speech flow. Read more

Ciao a tutti! Mi chiamo Alice e sono italiana. I am a certified language teacher and translator, but also a life-long language student! I have... studied English, Spanish and German, and I'm still learning! The main reason why I love teaching and studying foreign languages is because it allows me to communicate with people from different countries and to get to know different cultures. I love travelling and I have also lived in Austria and Australia during my studies. In my free time I like being outdoors and going for hikes. I also practice Ashtanga Yoga and play tennis. My qualifications: - CEDILS - certification to teach Italian to foreigners - Ca' Foscari University, Venice - Professional Master's in Didactics and Promotion of the Italian language and culture to foreigners - Ca' Foscari University, Venice - Master's Degree in Languages for Didactics, Publishing and Business - University of Urbino "Carlo Bo" - Bachelor's Degree in Applied Interlinguistic Communication (English and German) - University of Bologna I will prepare my lessons according to your needs and use a mix of approaches (communicative, functional-notional), so whether you want to get an Italian language certification (CELI, CILS, PLIDA), study for a school exam or travel to Italy, we will plan our course together and I will prepare my lesson plans accordingly. I like to keep my lessons interactive and full of intercultural references. Not only you will start speaking Italian immediately, but you will also get to know Italian culture, art, literature, using authentic texts, videos and audio files. Read more

Hello, everyone, I am Marcella, a native Italian who has moved to Switzerland to study. I have a degree in Ancient Literature with a focus on... archaeology, and in Italy I am qualified to teach literary classes. I am doing a PhD in archaeology at the University of Bern, where I teach every two semesters. I prefer to teach one-to-one or in pairs in order to make the most of my time and focus on people's needs. I prepare targeted courses, which is why I offer a trial lesson to establish the future course of the lessons. Lessons are usually always mixed, conversation and grammar using audio, video and text material. Depending on the speed at which the student intends to progress, homework assignments are structured. Try it for yourself! I look forward to seeing you online! Read more

WHO AM I? My name is Andrea Polverini and I would like to give you some information about myself on a personal and professional level. I... have been working as an English teacher since 1998 and as an Italian teacher since 2004. Since 2009, I have been working as a translator. I graduated in English philology (University of Pisa) and later specialised in audiovisual translation (University of Surrey). From an educational point of view, I trained through courses for English teachers such as the CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages - Cambridge Assessment English) and the DELTA (Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages - Cambridge Assessment - Module 1). I have lived and worked in countries such as the United Kingdom, Venezuela, Ireland and currently reside in Spain. I am passionate about foreign languages. In addition to English and Spanish, which I currently work with, I continue to study and practice other languages such as French, Catalan and German. My more than 15 years of experience teaching Italian and English to students of different nationalities, ages and levels have given me the opportunity to reflect on my role as a foreign language teacher and to evolve into a coach. More than a transmitter of knowledge, I want to be a travelling companion for my clients, with whom I can discover the most suitable path for each of them towards their personalised language goals. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ONE OF MY ITALIAN SESSIONS? We are all different human beings, with different personalities, feelings and a unique brain. In a relaxed atmosphere conducive to the learning process, I will guide you by respecting your personality and help you take full responsibility for the learning process. It will be up to you to help me set your goals as accurately as possible from the test session. Your progress, as far as possible, will be measured. Your goals and progress will be reviewed periodically. Motivation will be the key to your commitment to your learning. I can only help you find your motivation, but I cannot give it to you. For your learning to be effective, you must already have it within you. You will bear the weight of the work, because the one who does, learns. I will only serve as a guide. The sessions will take place without any pressure and in an atmosphere of complete relaxation. This will help you get rid of any internal blocks that would be an obstacle to the development of your language skills. Your memory will be stimulated through positive emotions and regular review. During the sessions, you will always receive feedback from me, but in a way that interferes as little as possible with the conversation. Your curiosity will be encouraged through the use of material that is relevant to you, with open-ended questions and allowing you time to respond, without trying to finish your sentences. Suggestions rather than instructions will be given and useful silences necessary for reflection will be allowed. As far as possible and unless specifically requested by you, the use of textbooks designed for language learning will be avoided. Any audio-visual or written stimuli will be chosen with you in mind. The relationship between us will not be the typical teacher-student relationship. We will be travelling companions and we will work together to achieve the set objectives. Your emotions and moods will be as important as your brain in the learning process. Finally, you will never be judged for anything you say during the session and you will always receive my support for your efforts. My only aim is to help you develop your potential. Read more
