Conversation classes with a native and verified teacher
Exam preparation with online classes and lessons from a certified teacher: Italian - CILS
About me Ciao! My name is Andrea and I am a native Italian with years of Italian language teaching experience, graduated from University of... Rome. I lived in London and Los Angeles for several years. Then I attended courses for teaching Italian as a second language. I have been teaching Italian language to foreigners for 4 years and it has been very satisfying so far. Qualifications & Experience Since I was attending primary school until I graduated from University I have always studied both Italian and English languages. After University I continued my studies attending courses for becoming a professional teacher of Italian as a foreign language and then started to work as a teacher abroad in London and LA. Today I am teaching mostly online, I really like this way of working: technology gave me the opportunity to reach all of my students living in different countries and continents. I love my job and I am passionate about it. I teach Italian language to foreigners and it has been very satisfying so far. I give online lessons and also in person when the student lives in my own city, the beautiful Rome. I currently have many students who come from different countries like Netherlands, Brazil, USA, Russia, Poland, France, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Scotland, Switzerland, Ukraine, Belgium, Israel etc. Students who attend my courses work at professional level in ESA, FAO, UN here in Rome. Students who live abroad of Italy are doctors, smart entrepreneurs, artists, writers or very good and young students. They all need to learn Italian for both private / professional reasons. I am highly qualified for improving your pronunciation, public speaking and oratory skills since I attended diction courses for longer than 5 years. My students are the first to show me gratitude for the good results and improvements they achieve attending the course. They tell me enthusiastically about the successes achieved both at work and in private-daily life by learning the Italian language with me. Teaching Approach I always try to understand what kind of student I have in front of me, where he/she comes from and his/her age. The way I teach to kids is different than the way I use to teach to adults. I always try to meet the student's needs, guiding him/her gently. If the student needs to know more grammar I start my lessons teaching more rules, following a Structural approach: this means that I would start teaching the language as a complex of grammatical rules which are to be learned one at a time in a set order. Along with that it is possible to do some grammar translations to and from the target language and to practice some Audio - Lingual method (learning through the practice of dialogues of every situations). Only after all this I push the student towards a Direct method, that means that it is possible only to use the target language: the teacher explains everything using the target language only and the learner is not allowed to use his or her mother tongue. When the student starts to speak fluently I like to focus more on the pronunciation, about the way he/she sounds practising with the student more conversation, analyzing his/her fluency, mental blocks or mispronunciation. The student has to sound as natural as possible after few months. Read more

Hello! just some info to better understand my method: I carry out an accurate needs analysis during the 0 lesson to find out the learner's... level, background, learning habits and style, hobbies and interests and their needs. I prepare a course design to be discussed with the learner with the major points I think should be covered in the course, on the basis of the needs analysis mentioned aboveI use articles, videos and tools such as kahoot, padlet, quizlet, TED talks and so on to make my lessons varied and dynamicI provide clear examples and explanations of the target language As I said in the video, I teach English and Italian for all levels + business English/Italian, exam preparation classes, business skills and English/Italian for Specific Purposes (logistics, HR, pharma...). Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or requests. Looking forward to hearing from you! :) Read more

Hi! I have been teaching Italian for several years and I offer Italian lessons for all levels and all ages. In my lessons I often use ad hoc... didactized Italian movies and songs, to bring students closer to the authentic language and culture and I always try to stimulate interest in literature. I try to start each lesson with a motivating lexical activization and then to analyze in detail the text (video, audio, written, oral) to face also some grammatical or cultural aspects. I always try to make the lessons fun using even educational games. I’m avaible for individual and group lessons and exam preparation. Read more

Hi, I'm Francesca I have been teaching Italian to adults since 2010, individual and group lessons. I have a degree in English and French, and... I have a diploma of interpreter in German. In the summer I teach Italian in full immersion courses in Tuscany, where I live. I really enjoy helping people to learn more not only about Italian as a language but also the rich Italian culture. Usually I divide my lessons into three parts: a bit of grammar (which is unfortunately very useful...but I can teach you some tricks to learn without much effort!), a listening/reading comprehension part usually with videos, songs, docs about Italy and then ... we talk about Italy! I will provide all material, and I'll send them by email. Read more

Good morning to all the students. I am Francesca, an Italian mother tongue with a diploma in languages. I give Italian conversation... lessons to foreign people who wish to learn, improve and practice the Italian language, both for personal and business needs. Thanks to my diploma I can also help students who need a tutor who has knowledge of English and Spanish. My teaching method is based on a full hour of conversation in which I propose, dictations, readings, role plays and educational activities. I am available to assign tasks at the end of the lesson so that students can continue to remain in constant exercise. Tasks that will be returned correctly during the next lesson or via email. I like to personalize my conversations based on the person in front of me and his needs, without ever forgetting the right fun. Understanding the difficulty of studying a foreign language, I try to put my students at ease so that they feel as relaxed as possible, just as if they were having a chat with their friends. I wait for you Thank you Francesca Read more

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
