Conversation classes with a native and verified teacher
Exam preparation with online classes and lessons from a certified teacher: Italian - PLIDA
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

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.

Hi, welcome to my profile! My name is Alessia and I currently live in Italy. I spent a few years in the United States where I deepened my... knowledge of English and American dialects. I am currently specializing in Spanish and German. Over the years, I have given private lessons in Italian, English, Spanish, and Japanese, with Japanese being the most requested at the moment. Regarding Japanese, I had the opportunity to teach the language at an American college with a native Japanese teacher, applying the method that they use to learn their own language. I will help you in a simple way; conversation is really important for learning a language, and a good method is even more fundamental. No days spent on textbooks are needed; consistency and fun during lessons are the most important parts of learning. You will see results right away! I am patient, flexible, and will adapt in every way to your personal needs. I look forward to seeing you on my profile for a trial lesson and discovering an easy and fun method to learn a language as soon as possible. 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

Hi my name is Irma Caputo. I am 34 years old. I am so glad to start my experience with you! I love my job and I love to offer the people the... experience of a fulfill immersion in another culture through the language. I am a language teacher and university researcher. I completed may Phd in "Estudos da linguagem" in Brazil at Puc-Rio de Janeiro with a thesis about philosophy of language, translation and esthetic; the core point was Nuno Ramo's book "Ó" (2008), that I translated to Italian (my mother tongue). I always studied in the field of foreign languages and literature and along the time I took some courses and specialization about how to teach a foreign or second language (as DITALS II for example). I have a long teaching experience, especially of Italian and Portuguese, as foreign languages. I worked already in Brazil, Argentina, Italy and Germany. Some big institutions were I thaught languages are: Italiana Institute for culture of Rio de Janeiro, Italian Institute Alessandro Manzoni of Buenos Aires, Enel Brazil. The Method: I work with a communicative method. The first goal is to communicate. The oral expression is the focus, but it doesn't mean that we will not study grammar. Starting from some functions of the language, that is how to reach a communicative goal, we study the vocabulary and the frases we need to reach this goal and through a reflection about these phrases (inductive and deductive), we will also study the grammar structure we need to produce them. Even if we focus on oral expression, it will be important the harmonic development of all linguistics abilities such as reading, listening, writing, speaking. Other abilities such as intercultural communications will be really important. Material used: The material will be deposited in digital format in the Dropbox account of the course and the student will be responsible for printing it. Handout composed by a selection of authentic materials: - readings taken from newspapers, magazines, books and blogs with exercises and activities created ad hoc for the development of specific objectives based on the proposed input; - audios of radio conversations, live dialogues, and TV programs with exercises and activities ad hoc created for the development of specific objectives based on the input proposed; - videos taken from specific channels of the main social networks and the Internet, television programmes, websites of different types taken from the Brazilian network with exercises and activities created ad hoc for the development of specific objectives based on the proposed input. This material will be integrated with a book that we will use during the lessons and some grammars handbook Didactic structure and approach Based on a selection of topics treated through the chosen material in the manner mentioned above, there will be an associated programme related to the structures of the language (grammar) and stimuli for the development of pragmatic, sociolinguistic, and intercultural skills. The grammar, therefore, will be approached in a deductive and reflective way from analyses of the proposed materials. It will always occur after the analysis and approach of the materials, which represent the language in a living context, so that structures will never be presented loosely in the form of a lesson. The selected topics, in order to facilitate a better understanding and approach to the reality of contemporary world, cover and address different areas. In the first levels (A1, A2) the topics are especially connected to the functions of language (how to orde something at the bar, how to reserve a room). I also work as free-lance interpreters and translators (italian Brazilian Portuguese), it helps to better understand some linguistic processes. Read more
