Do you understand the language but freeze when it’s time to speak? I can help you become more confident, natural and fluent through relaxed, engaging conversations tailored to your interests and goals. I’m an open-minded, curious and friendly community tutor, as well as a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. My lessons are a welcoming, respectful and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, making mistakes and learning at your own pace. We can talk about travel, cultures, films, music, fashion, food, work, current events, LGBTQ+ topics—or anything you are genuinely passionate about. Along the way, I will help you expand your vocabulary, improve your pronunciation and express yourself more clearly and naturally. Every student learns differently, so I adapt each lesson to your level, personality and objectives. Whether you want to practise everyday conversation, maintain your language skills or prepare for a specific situation, we will build an approach that works for you. If you share a topic or language point in advance, I’ll be happy to prepare something especially for our lesson. Learning a language should be enjoyable, motivating and connected to real life.

Italian for Brazilians & for your life in Italy — speak with confidence, not fear. Ciao! I'm Alana. I grew up in Italy, I live here but my roots are Brazilian — I've also lived and worked abroad, so I know exactly what it means to build a new life in a new language. If you're Brazilian: I know where lusophone learners get stuck, because I've helped many. We can lean on Portuguese whenever you need it, so you progress faster and without stress. If you're planning a trip — or a move — to Italy: I teach the real Italian you'll actually use for daily life, bureaucracy, renting, work and travel — not textbook Italian. I'm DITALS-certified with 100+ lessons here. My students say I'm calm, patient and encouraging — so if you're afraid to speak, you're in the right place. We go at your pace. My lessons are conversation-driven: real practice, gentle correction of the mistakes that matter, and grammar explained simply. Each lesson ends with a short written summary so you can keep studying at home. Italiano • Português • English

Professional Native Italian & Sardinian Teacher | Certified & 10+ Years Exp. I am a passionate teacher, fascinated by the learning process. I see language not just as a tool, but as a living system: a powerful vehicle for culture and a key to new worlds. That's why I favour a communicative approach, that makes every lesson an authentic exchange. I am deeply convinced that learning is far more effective when it's enjoyable, and that every student needs a tailor-made path. In my view, teaching is never a one-way process, but a continuous mutual enrichment.

    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. A private Italian teacher will guide you step by step through each lesson in a pace and manner that suits your learning routine and language level. They will boost your motivation and help you gain confidence and more assurance in learning Italian. They will instantly answer all your questions and clear your doubts about grammar, pronunciation, or writing in Italian. Studying with a professional language teacher will also speed up your Italian speaking skills because you'll always have a language partner to chat with. Moreover, with a private Italian teacher or a tutor, you will learn at your pace, contrary to learning in a regular classroom where your progress is subjected to the language level of the other students you are learning with.
On italki.com you can find Italian teachers of different backgrounds and experiences and choose the best one according to your needs. And remember, a good Italian tutor is not always a native speaker.
