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.

Speak Italian with confidence!|Conversation & practical grammar from day 1 Hi everyone — or, as we say in Italian, ciao a tutti! I’m Samuele, a native Italian teacher with a background in philosophy. Despite having graduated in Philosophical Sciences, my interest in languages goes way back. Living abroad, I gained a deeper understanding of how languages are learned in real-life contexts. I’m particularly interested in how language shapes the way we think and communicate — something that naturally influences my approach to teaching. Outside of teaching, I’m passionate about cinema, literature, and acting, which often find their way into my lessons. I help students speak Italian with confidence and clarity through practical conversation and clear guidance. My lessons focus on real-life communication, helping you think in Italian and express yourself naturally. We work through engaging discussions, role-play, and everyday situations to build fluency step by step. I also support students preparing for Italian certification exams. Grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions are always integrated into conversation. I believe structure and spontaneity should work together: a solid foundation makes communication easier and more natural. If you want to improve your Italian in a practical and enjoyable way, I’d be happy to help you.

Insegnante di Italiano per livello principiante e intermedio Ciao! Sono Teona e ho avuto il privilegio di crescere a Pisa, a pochi passi dalla celebre Torre Pendente. La mia passione per le lingue e le culture si è sviluppata grazie ai numerosi viaggi e agli incontri con persone provenienti da contesti diversi, esperienze che mi hanno permesso di vedere l’italiano come un ponte tra storie, tradizioni e prospettive differenti. Sono una persona curiosa, socievole e aperta al dialogo, e credo che le conversazioni autentiche siano fondamentali per un apprendimento efficace. Nei miei corsi mi rivolgo principalmente a principianti e studenti di livello intermedio, offrendo un ambiente accogliente e rilassato, dove ciascuno può imparare l’italiano con fiducia e senza pressioni. Amo condividere curiosità sulla cultura italiana, raccontare aneddoti e guidare gli studenti alla scoperta della lingua attraverso esperienze reali e coinvolgenti. Se cerchi un’insegnante amichevole e attenta, che renda lo studio dell’italiano piacevole e personalizzato, sarò lieta di accompagnarti nel tuo percorso con entusiasmo e professionalità! :)

Italian Tutor, TESOL Teacher and Translator, with 4 years of experience in school setting and 1:1 Hi! I’m Ilaria, a native Italian speaker, professional translator, and CELTA-certified teacher. I offer personalized Italian and English lessons focused on real-life communication and tailored to your goals—travel, work, exams, or general improvement. My lessons use a communicative approach with engaging topics like films, stories, and world cultures. We work on speaking, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and culture in a natural way. Grammar is always explained clearly in context, with structured practice and regular review. In class, you’ll read short texts, answer questions to build conversation skills, and write together to improve accuracy and fluency. I also use translation exercises to help you understand grammar more intuitively. I teach all levels and ages, including Italian for business, exam preparation, and lessons for children. Classes are available in 30, 45, 60, or 90-minute formats, one-on-one or in groups, online. I create a supportive and motivating environment to help you reach real, satisfying results. Optional personalized homework (readings, songs, exercises) is available on request. ❗❗❗ Seasonal promotions are offered every 2–3 months for both new and returning students. Tell me your goals—I’ll be happy to help! 😄

My students say I'm very patient. :) As a student of languages myself, I know that speaking the target language with a native speaker since the start is the best way to progress faster; I also believe that a relaxed and informal atmosphere is vital to learn effectively and feel more confident, because our brains work much better when not under pressure. I will use Italian as much as possible and, most importantly, I will make YOU use Italian as much as possible, even if you are a beginner. However, sometimes clarity is necessary so we can use English or French - and I still remember a little bit of Norwegian and Swedish.

Insegnante di italiano con 5 anni di esperienza in scuole di lingua e scuole internazionali Ciao! 🙂 Mi chiamo Eleonora, sono di Firenze e attualmente vivo in Giappone. Mi sono laureata in Lingue e Civiltà dell’Asia presso l’Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia, e lavoro come insegnante di lingua italiana da 5 anni. Ho maturato esperienza non solo nell’insegnamento per adulti, ma anche a bambini e ragazzi (3-12 anni), sia in scuole di lingua che scuole internazionali (IB). Ho studiato molte lingue oltre a quelle che posso parlare fluentemente (inglese e giapponese), quindi capisco bene cosa significhi mettersi in gioco con l’apprendimento! So che molti, pur provando entusiasmo, curiosità e gioia nell’apprendimento di una nuova lingua possano sentirsi limitati da ansia, vergogna e paura del giudizio quando si tratta di parlare con madrelingua. Per questo, è importante per me stabilire un’atmosfera rilassata in cui le mie studentesse e studenti si sentano liberi di esprimersi, parlando di una grande varietà di argomenti. E fidatevi, non importa quanto il vostro livello sia elementare: rimango sempre stupita nel vedere di quante tematiche complesse riusciate a parlare, quando si trova la motivazione per farlo! Per me è importante fin da subito lavorare su materiali autentici, che possano stimolare il vostro interesse e la vostra passione per la lingua - non un monolite fatto di grammatica e vocabolario da imparare, ma uno strumento da usare con persone, amici, colleghi, quando si lavora, viaggia, vive. Non esitate a contattarmi per ulteriori domande o informazioni!

14 years of teaching experience but it's always a new adventure I am a qualified teacher of Italian language and culture (first and second level Master degree)I am also an examiner for CELI, PLIDA and CILS exams.The best compliment I ever received from a student is: "Giulia you have big ears". It's really important to know what students like, what are the most challenging parts of the language for them, to predict their mistakes and help them learn from them. I have though to students coming from 51different countries, it's always a new challenge. Research shows that when you are happy and do fun things you learn quickly and effectively, it's true. I always aim to create and maintain a positive and harmonious atmosphere when working together.

🇮🇹 Language is a bridge to a culture 🏛️ Hi, my name is Gabriele. I live in Southern Italy and speak English fluently at a conversational level. Interacting with international friends has enriched my life by exposing me to different cultures. As an Italian teacher and lifelong language learner (currently studying Japanese), I understand the challenges of language acquisition firsthand. I also explore linguistics, effective learning methods, and automation tools to optimize learning. My interests include: 🗣️ Linguistics 💻 Programming 🧪 Science 💡 Philosophy 🧠 Psychology 🖼️ Art 🎶 Music 📷 Photography ✍️ Poetry 🎮 Video Games I create a personalized learning experience, adapting lessons to each student's goals and learning style. Since no single method works for everyone, I integrate tools and techniques based on students' needs. Above all, I aim to create a supportive environment where mistakes become opportunities for growth, and communication flows naturally. My teaching is immersive and conversation-based, helping students build confidence through real interactions. I use English when needed while keeping the focus on acquisition. Lessons are flexible and shaped around each student's requests. A common format is open dialogue, where we discuss different topics while I provide real-time corrections and explanations of grammar, vocabulary, and language use in context. Lastly, I recommend resources based on your interests, helping you build sustainable habits and make Italian part of your daily life.

Certified CEDILS teacher with over 9 years of teaching experience Hi there, my name is Clemente and I am your Italian teacher. I have worked as freelance journalist and cooperated with some online Italian magazines. But I also love teaching Italian to foreigners. For this reason, I got a CEDILS certification and I have been teaching Italian for more than eight years. My first experience with language-teaching and exchange (a good and useful experience) was represented by tandem language learning (when I lived in Brighton). My lessons are structured according to language proficiency levels set by the European framework. But, beyond that, methodology, approach and the relationship between teacher and student are all that matters. Language isn't just grammar. Language is a communicative act and grammar plays a fundamental role in order to learn a language. It can't be, however, the only way to "achieve the objective". I think you can learn languages if you don't get bored, if you feel enthusiasm, if you have passion for what you are learning. A "real" practice and a reflection on grammar rules with the right balance between practice and theory is the best way to learn a language. Last but not least, learning a language isn't a passive receiving. It is all about dialogue. And dialogue must be interesting, amusing and culturally significant. It is all about direct teaching style: you will be speaking even from a beginner’s level.

Prima di cominciare mi piace capire le motivazioni della persona che sceglie di imparare una lingua, in 15 anni di esperienza non ho mai fatto due volte lo stesso corso, ogni situazione è diversa e mi piace adattarmi alla persona che ho davanti. La lingua parlata è la base dell'apprendimento, ed è sempre il punto centrale dell'insegnamento. Mi piace utilizzare mezzi d'insegnamento diversi. J'aime comprendre les motivations qui poussent la personne à apprendre une langue étrangère, je n'ai jamais donné deux fois exactement le même cours car j'adore m'adapter et j'accorde énormément d'importance à la langue parlée, J'aime mettre à jour mes cours et utiliser différents moyens d'enseignement.
