Clear, Simple, Effective. Love it or your money back 🇮🇹 Top-Rated Italki Teacher 2025-2026 🏆 If you're an American who's tried to learn Italian before, bouncing between Duolingo, YouTube, and grammar books without it ever really clicking, I built my teaching around exactly that problem. I'm Vince, a certified Italian teacher (CEDILS, Ca' Foscari University of Venice) with thousands of lesson hours, 500+ students taught, and excellent reviews. Most of my students are American professionals, travelers, and people reconnecting with their Italian roots, so I already know what you haven't asked yet: how to fit lessons around a US schedule, how to go from "textbook Italian" to something you can use in Rome or at your grandmother's table, and how to stop second-guessing every sentence before you say it. Here's what that looks like in practice: instead of throwing more material at you, I build one structured path based on your level (A0-C2), goals, and learning style, and tell you exactly what to study next and why. Every lesson mixes conversation, grammar, pronunciation, and real-life practice, with corrections made on the spot so mistakes don't stick. Prepping for CELI, CILS or PLIDA? I build that in too. I also know what it's like to sit where you're sitting: I've lived abroad for years, mainly in South America, and learned Spanish and Portuguese as an adult. We meet on Zoom with a shared document, so you always have a clear, organized record of your progress. Book a trial lesson and let's get you speaking.

Russian, Italian, French | Former news editor from Moscow| Struggling with languages can be fun 🤌😄 Hi and welcome! I'm native Russian speaker + Italian teacher + I speak English, French, a bit Turkish. Tatar princess and former TV editor who now helps people survive Russian grammar. Lessons will be surely very boring and painful. If you study Russian, I'll help you with full immersion in suffering according to Dostoevsky. Dark humor upon request! I love music (studied academic vocal, but then decided to stop torturing neighbours), sports & existential crises. I host a podcast in Russian about inspiring women, wrote a book about femme fatale. Also, I'm part mermaid 🧜‍♀️ Freediving, swimming, anything with water... Oh, and I sail. Fun fact: Moscow is a "port of five seas" thanks to Soviet engineering. Ridiculous? Yes. Love it? Absolutely. I strive to build my lessons around each student’s interests, needs, and goals, creating a learning process that feels both effective and enjoyable. For me, learning a language is much more than memorizing grammar or vocabulary. It is a way to discover new ways of thinking, better understand other people and cultures, and expand the way we see the world. I enjoy creating lessons that go beyond textbooks. I often recommend podcasts, documentaries, interviews, and lectures, because authentic content helps language come alive. In our lessons, we talk not only about the language itself, but also about history, culture, psychology, travel, and everyday life.

Madrelingua con anni di esperienza - per tutti i livelli e tutti gli interessi! Pronto a vivere l’italiano, non solo a studiarlo? Hi, I'm Sharon, a native Italian teacher with years of experience and a contagious passion for the Italian language and culture ✨🇮🇹 I was born in Cuneo at the foot of the Alps, but I’ve been living for years in the “red, chubby, intellectual” Bologna. I graduated here in Art, Music and Performing Arts, and now I combine my studies with my enthusiasm for languages in teaching. I'm easygoing, cheerful and always happy to dive into any curiosity about Italy and the Italian language: art, music, cinema, history, current events, travel, food, the beautiful (and tricky!) grammar – and every student brings new discoveries! If you want to break the ice with natural talks, personalize your path with your goals and dive into Italian culture while learning, my lessons are perfect for you: full of insight and always with a smile! I create functional, personalized lessons, getting straight to the point while having fun 💫💪 Many students have passed exams, succeeded in job interviews, and handled both friendly and formal situations! We can move from guided activities to relaxed conversations, from reading to pronunciation, turning details into a natural part of your speaking. I know how challenging learning a language can be, so support and a positive atmosphere will never be missing! Learning doesn’t stop here: based on your interests and goals, I’ll be happy to share homework, music, articles and more after class. A presto 🥁

I've been teaching to students of almost all ages and educational degrees, from secondary school to university, and in language schools both in Italy and Spain. I adopt a communicative approach, without dismissing the importance of focusing on specific aspects of the language when needed. I love to transmit not only the language, but also the cultures of Italy and Spain. For this reason I love to use movies, musics and so on during the classes, and I hope that our lessons will give you a taste of these countries. And that you will learn more than just a new language.

Before the first lesson I will send an entry test to determine your level. Every lesson is prepared in advance. Based on your needs I will create targeted lessons to achieve amazing results. I use only authentic material (flashcards, grammar exercises, songs, videos, games). We will have lots of fun and talk as much as possible, only in this way you can solidify all the rules that you study in books but that sometimes can be boring and insufficient.

    Giulia encourages us to present a topic to her other students at the appropriate level who are willing to attend (and gives us the free opportunity to be the audience for other students’ presentations). This challenges us to get out of our comfort zones and interact in Italian with a wider range of people. Such a creative teacher!

  • Chrissy Papanicolas

    Learning Italian

    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.
