Insegnante esperto di Comunicazione delle lingua italiana e conoscenza di inglese e tedesco Ciao! Sono Davide, insegnante di italiano per chi vuole parlare davvero. Specializzato in conversazione spontanea, ti aiuto a rompere il ghiaccio con espressioni autentiche, come quelle che userei con un amico al bar o in viaggio. Ho vissuto in Germania, Inghilterra e Australia, quindi so bene come adattare la lingua allo studio, al lavoro o alle avventure. Quando non insegno, scrivo e traduco – amo i dettagli delle parole, ma nelle mie lezioni regna la naturalezza. Se vuoi imparare ridendo e sbagliando senza stress, sono qui! Sono un insegnante flessibile, paziente e molto pratico. Il mio obiettivo è metterti a tuo agio fin dalla prima lezione, creando un ambiente in cui puoi sbagliare senza paura e imparare in modo naturale. Non credo nei metodi rigidi: ogni studente ha il suo stile e il mio compito è capirlo e adattarmi. Amo lavorare con persone curiose, che vogliono davvero usare la lingua nella vita reale – per viaggiare, per il lavoro, o semplicemente per piacere personale. Offro esclusivamente lezioni di conversazione: niente grammatica noiosa, niente compiti, solo pratica autentica e mirata. Le nostre chiacchierate saranno dinamiche e spontanee, ma sempre con l’obiettivo di migliorare il tuo vocabolario, la fluidità e la pronuncia. Durante le lezioni correggo in modo naturale e ti aiuto a trovare le parole giuste per esprimerti con più sicurezza. Parlando, imparerai davvero a comunicare.

Professore di italiano | 6 anni di esperienza - Padronanza della lingua & Preparazione CELI Ciao a tutti, sono Francesco! Insegno italiano per stranieri da diversi anni e le lingue sono sempre state al centro della mia vita. Parlo quotidianamente italiano, inglese, spagnolo e catalano e sono sempre curioso di scoprire nuove lingue e culture. Mi piace viaggiare e conoscere il mondo attraverso le tradizioni locali: questo approccio lo porto anche nel mio modo di insegnare. Negli ultimi 7 anni ho lavorato con studenti provenienti da tutto il mondo, aiutandoli a sviluppare sicurezza e autonomia nell’uso dell’italiano. Durante le lezioni creo un ambiente di immersione linguistica, usando prevalentemente l’italiano fin dall’inizio, per favorire un contatto diretto e naturale con la lingua. Le mie lezioni sono dinamiche e adattate alle esigenze di ogni studente. Lavoriamo su comunicazione, grammatica e cultura, mantenendo sempre un equilibrio tra le quattro competenze fondamentali: comprensione della lettura, comprensione dell’ascolto, produzione orale e produzione scritta. Il mio obiettivo è accompagnarti passo dopo passo, rispettando i tuoi tempi e il tuo stile. Per strutturare il percorso utilizzo materiali didattici consolidati, in particolare: - Grammatica pratica della lingua italiana di Susanna Nocchi (livelli A1–B2) - Grammatica avanzata della lingua italiana di Susanna Nocchi (livelli B2–C1) Ho inoltre preparato numerosi studenti per le certificazioni CELI (B1, B2, C1), usando diversi materiali di preparazione, tra cui i test ufficiali delle edizioni Ornimi.

Matteo Comprehensible Input What kind of tutor am I? I'm not a language-learning guru who can master and teach a new language from scratch in just a couple of weeks — far from it! I've studied many languages myself, and I'm still on the journey. Language learning, for me, is a never-ending process. Because of that, I can guide you through the process and help you avoid wasting countless hours on activities that don't actually lead to real language acquisition. In my lessons, I focus on a manageable amount of vocabulary at first, then work with you to actively retrieve it by building sentences and creating examples together. With every student, I share a Google Doc where we track our progress, one lesson at a time.

Each student brings a unique story and motivation to the table—whether it’s for travel, work, family, or simply the love of the language—and this diversity continuously enriches both my teaching and my personal growth. I’m a patient and empathetic teacher who believes that real learning happens when there’s a genuine connection. That’s why I focus on creating engaging, creative conversations tailored to each student’s interests and goals.

    In 6 months of studying with Roberta, my spoken Italian has improved significantly. When I started, I had only the ability to speak basic sentences, and now I feel confident during daily conversations in a variety of situations. My favorite thing about lessons with Roberta is that it feels like I’m meeting a friend - I’m totally comfortable being myself, and we have interesting conversations on a variety of topics spanning philosophy, spirituality, health, and culture. Her level of English is basically native, so she knows how to properly translate any English idioms or phrases. Roberta is always prepared for our lessons with conversation starters, offers options like grammar drills and role-playing for real-life situations, and provides written corrections. She speaks enough to keep the conversation flowing and engage my listening skills while giving me the maximum opportunity to practice my speaking. I leave every conversation feeling satisfied and looking forward to the next one!

    I LOVE my lessons with Michela! She's a warm, friendly, encouraging, and patient teacher who creates a safe space where I feel comfortable making mistakes--incredibly important in language learning. She's also very positive and energetic and laser focused on my learning needs. Every class is individualized and appropriate for my level, so I am challenged but not frustrated. The teaching method she uses (providing a story so I can prepare prior to each class), is effective and fun! The hour flies by, and I look forward to my class each week. I've made a lot of progress during my time with Michela and, most of all, my speaking confidence has grown tremendously. You will not find a better teacher; she's the best!

    I can’t recommend Giorgio highly enough as an Italian tutor. I have been working with him for the past few months, and the improvement in my Italian has been remarkable. I feel much more confident speaking, my vocabulary has expanded significantly, and I’m finally beginning to have real conversations rather than simply constructing sentences in my head. Giorgio is incredibly patient, encouraging, and genuinely fun to learn with. He has a creative way of teaching that makes every lesson interesting and engaging. Our conversations feel natural and relevant, but he also knows exactly when to introduce a grammar lesson or correct something I’m struggling with. He covers grammar thoroughly, but in a way that makes it interesting and memorable rather than tedious. If you’re looking for a tutor who will help you become more comfortable, confident, and conversational in Italian while actually enjoying the process, I highly recommend Giorgio!

    After trying to take classes with many different teachers, Francesca was the one who kept me motivated and helped me stay consistent with my studies. She is extremely organised, understanding of her students’ needs, and able to adapt her teaching methods to their individual needs and personalities. Her explanations are clear and well structured, and she uses a variety of tools and approaches to achieve the learning objectives. She is also clearly passionate about teaching languages. I started taking classes with her to prepare for the B1 Italian citizenship exam, and she helped me progress from an A1 level to B1 in just a few months. I successfully passed the B1 exam with a score of 44/48, mostly thanks to her help.

Frequently asked questions

How to find the best online language tutor

Do you need a native teacher to learn Italian? The best way to find an online language tutor is through a specialized online tutoring website like italki.com. On italki you can choose from over 1000 Italian teachers and online tutors!
But how to select the best Italian tutor for you? There are several factors that each student must take into account while selecting the best online language tutor on italki. For example, first, you should confirm how many years of experience they have in teaching Italian. It is widely believed that experienced teachers are more effective in helping students to improve their language level faster. Second, consider asking for recommendations or feedback from their former students. On italki, you can easily see reviews and students' feedback on each teacher's personal page. Third, get in touch with the selected online tutor and confirm their availability. Online classes are easily arranged, but this doesn't mean that your tutor will always be available at the time and day you're planning to take lessons. Confirm their availability beforehand. Finally, ask to take a trial lesson before you commit to a lesson package. The trial lesson will help you to know better your online tutor and their teaching methods. You'll see how you get along together and whether their teaching approach suits you.

Do you need a native teacher to learn Italian?

You don't necessarily need a native Italian teacher to learn the language well. Non-native teachers are often just as good as native speakers, as teaching requires a lot of preparation, soft skills, motivation and not only knowing a language. On italki, you will find many experienced Italian teachers with excellent student reviews, who are not native Italians. In fact, for some of our best-rated teachers, Italian is a second or even a third language! One of the main reasons why non-native speakers make better teachers than native speakers is their personal language learning experience. After all, all non-native teachers were once at the same place where their students are now: on the student's desk.
However, it is also true that studying with a native Italian speaker will certainly help your pronunciation, you will gain an in-depth knowledge of the language and you'll be able to learn about the Italian culture first hand.

Where can I find a private Italian tutor?

The Internet is the best place to find a private Italian tutor who gives you Italian tuition online. Most language learning websites sell complete online language courses, but some are offering one-on-one private lessons or free language exchange between students. italki is a great place to find hundreds of private Italian tutors. We have more than 1,000 Italian teachers and online tutors. Our platform allows you to book 1-on-1 lessons at affordable prices and take private Italian lessons at a time and place convenient for you.
While enrolling in an online language course is cheaper, individual lessons with a private tutor will help you to learn faster. Instead of spending 20+ hours repeating after an audio recording and doing redundant exercises, you can achieve the same level in just a few lessons with a private Italian tutor. That's why working with a private tutor is more practical and cost-effective.
To make a more informed choice and find the best Italian tutor, don't hesitate to research their background and ask about their experience. Just keep in mind your language learning goals and your reasons to learn Italian. If you have a clear idea of the language points that you need to improve or you lack experience with, ask your private Italian tutor to help you with those specific points and to prepare a language plan based on your requirements.
Of course, when you're looking for a private Italian tutor, you should consider their teaching experience and fees. Private lessons' pricing varies a lot depending on the tutor's background and on the lesson types. General and conversational Italian lessons are usually cheaper than business and exam preparation lessons. Also, native Italian teachers tend to charge more than non-native teachers. Choosing between a native or a non-native teacher can affect your pronunciation, but also your grammar and learning. The quality of the study materials the teacher will use is also important as it will directly affect your learning process. And of course, their teaching experience should also be an important criterion when you look for an Italian tutor and you make your decision. Experienced teachers are on average more effective in raising student achievement than less experienced teachers.

Why study Italian with a professional language teacher?

The fastest way to master the Italian language is with the help of a personal Italian teacher or a tutor. Ideally, you should study with an Italian teacher who teaches only in Italian and not in English or your mother tongue. In the beginning, this might look intimidating and you won't be able to understand everything that your teacher says. But after only a few lessons, you will start picking up the new words and your pronunciation will improve faster.
The truth is that studying with a professional language teacher will help you achieve your goals faster than attending regular Italian courses.
