Learn Italian with a PhD Teacher |Polyglot (incl. Turkish speaker) Hi! I’m Francesco — a certified teacher of Italian as a foreign language (Università per Stranieri di Siena), polyglot and PhD in philosophy. I’ve taught students from all over the world, combining language learning with cultural depth and human connection. I speak 7 languages, including Turkish. My students often tell me that one of my greatest strengths is my ability to truly listen. I focus on understanding what they want to express, rather than judging their mistakes. For me, every mistake is an opportunity to learn, grow, and communicate more effectively. As both a teacher and a language learner myself, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to speak a foreign language. I know the fears, doubts, and frustrations that often come with the learning process. That's why I create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and expressing themselves. Over the years, I have developed practical strategies that help students work with their fears instead of against them. Rather than seeing anxiety as an obstacle, we learn to transform it into a resource that supports confidence, communication, and long-term progress. My goal is not only to help you speak Italian better, but also to help you enjoy the process of learning it. With almost fifteen years of teaching experience, I’ve curated a wide range of top-quality resources that I share with my students to make every lesson effective, engaging, and meaningful.

Italian classes for everyone - BA in modern languages & linguistics - CEDILS teaching certificate I want you to feel comfortable when using Italian in conversation, so I always create a chilled evironment where you can make mistakes. ATTEMPTS usually end up in mistakes, but there is no learning without mistakes; if you are making mistakes it means that you are attempting, that is: learning. During my lessons you will have the opportunity to make all the questions you want, because curiosity is what really makes us improving. For this reason, if you've got any questions between lessons you can always contact me offline, usually I answer within 24 hours.

My teaching style is tailored to the individual needs and goals of each student, with an emphasis on communication, practical skills, and real-life situations. I believe that learning a language should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience, and I'm committed to helping my students achieve success in the most effective and enjoyable way possible.

Sono innamorata dell'Italia e della sua cultura, esperta di insegnamento dell'inglese per ragazzi Sono una persona empatica, ho insegnato inglese a molti ragazzi e mi affeziono alle persone che incontro. Riesco a stabilire una relazione didattica basata sull'ascolto e l'attenzione, stimolando la curiosità e il desiderio di imparare che contraddistingue le persone e facilitando l'apprendimento. Posso fornire materiale multimediale, compiti da eseguire tra una lezione e l'altra e vere e proprie esperienze educative a spasso nella mia città, per scoprire non solo le regole grammaticali dell'italiano, ma anche ciò che ci contraddistingue di più; la nostra cultura, il nostro amore per la socialità, per il buon cibo e il buon vino.

Sono una persona molto paziente e flessibile, cerco sempre di identificare la maniera più adeguata per approcciare la materia in base alle esigente e al metodo di studio dello specifico studente I'm very flexible, I will always try to find out the best way to approach the subject, so that my method will change accordingly to the specific needs of the student.

Sicuramente sono puntuale e disponibile, conosco bene la grammatica italiana e sono ben consapevole quanto può essere difficile per uno studente! per questo darò il mio meglio per far sì che la lezione sia piacevole e profittevole :)

Je participe aux examens d’État en tant que commissaire ou président!

I have never liked boring lessons and I like dynamism, so I would define myself a teacher who likes that students can learn having fun and with joy. At the same time, I adore grammar and I think it is very important to study and internalize it in order to speak well a foreign language. Finally, during my classes I like to speak a little bit about culture of the language we are studying and to do some language structure’s comparisons which are very interesting to understand how languages work (a little bit of linguistics help).

Your future Italian language tutor, ready to dedicate 100% to your success! ❤️ Ciao e benvenutə! I’m Eleonora, born and raised in Torino, that beautiful northern Italian city that absolutely no one visits by mistake (we have great chocolate and even better wine, if you haven't yet you should definitely come!) 🐉I graduated in Chinese Languages and International Relations, which means two things: 1. I am officially a language nerd. 2. I know exactly what it feels like to hit that frustrating wall where you feel completely stuck in your language learning. I’ve been there, cried that, and figured out how to get over it. And I am here to get you out of that feeling! Because of this, my method is completely different.

Certified Second Language Teacher (L2-LS) | CLIL Approach I currently work as a special education teacher in a public middle school. I also publish short stories and digital illustrations. My main interests include linguistics, Western and Eastern philosophy, psychology, world literature, mythology, and East Asian history. I tend to place great importance on the socio-emotional aspect of learning. Co-building a meaningful relationship with my students and engaging in a significant exchange with them helps both sides learn together and achieve our shared goals. From my personal experience, being truly present facilitates the language acquisition process and nurtures curiosity toward local cultures that are yet to be discovered. Each student has an inner world that needs to be expressed. My mission is to understand their needs and desires. Working with children with complex multiple disabilities has helped me better identify specific difficulties and develop effective strategies to communicate and achieve results. For this reason, I adapt my lessons to each individual’s character and motivation. Since 2024, I have had the opportunity to develop my practical skills by working with over forty adult learners from around the world. Being a student myself, sitting on the other side of the screen and studying foreign—yet fundamentally universal—languages, I believe I understand the challenges of the learning journey.

Conversiamo insieme e impariamo l'italiano divertendoci! 🌟 Hi! I'm Simona, I'm a 25 years old Italian girl, cheerful and sunny, with a diploma in Tourism and Theater studies. In life, I am a student of Comics and Illustration at the Academy of Fine Arts, and I work as a private tutor for children and teenagers in various disciplines. I mainly teach: art, italian and english literature, history, humanistic subjects in general and theatrical acting (including breathing, diction, interpretation and body language on stage). My greatest passions are art, music and drawing; all disciplines that I'm currently studying and love to discuss with the people around me, including my students, both young and old. Teaching is a true vocation and a great source of passion and satisfaction for me, which is why I carry out this work with great dedication, precision and most of all love and joy! My method involves a very conversational approach with the student while always maintaining professionalism and respect for roles and for the working environment. With me laughter is never missing! I make sure lessons are a safe and pleasant space, where learning happens in a calm and effective way. Typically, I tackle new topics together with the student, studying and explaining them in a clear and concise manner, encouraging the student to understand and absorb the material independently, helping them to develop a personal and effective study method that works best for them.
