🎓 Impara, esercitati, parla senza paura! Hi, I’m Lara! I was born near Venice, but a few years ago I moved to the U.S. — and suddenly, I couldn’t be myself anymore. I had jokes in my head I couldn’t say. Stories I couldn’t tell. Personality… locked behind grammar mistakes. So I rebuilt it. Word by word. Now I help my students do the same in Italian — not just learn the language, but feel confident, natural, and truly themselves when they speak. I am both patient and highly determined to assist you in reaching your goal! I understand the challenges of learning a foreign language, but I firmly believe that with consistent practice and dedicated study, improvement is inevitable. As your teacher, I will not only provide guidance but also be your unwavering supporter throughout the process. During my English learning journey, I've always aimed to create engaging activities that are fun and help me learn. This is exactly what I bring to every lesson – a combination of interactive tasks and enjoyable experiences that seamlessly blend with the study material. Immerse yourself in the language and make it an integral part of your life. My engaging lessons offer numerous advantages: - Express yourself confidently, giving life to your ideas. - Expand your vocabulary and apply it immediately in conversations. - Explore grammar concepts to strengthen your foundation. - Receive valuable feedback to improve from experience. - Enhance comprehension and listening skills to grasp nuances.

Italian teacher with 8 years of experience. Learn the language of LA DOLCE VITA! Hi, I’m Denise! 👋 I’m a native Italian teacher and I’ve been teaching Italian to international students since 2018. If you want to speak Italian more naturally, feel more confident in conversations, and use Italian in real-life situations, you’re in the right place! I lived abroad for several years and I now travel frequently between Europe and Asia. I love languages, literature, cinema, theatre, art, and discovering different people and cultures. I’ve studied several languages myself and I speak English, Spanish, Czech, and a little French. So I know first-hand what it feels like to learn a foreign language: searching for the right words, making mistakes, not understanding a sentence, or simply being afraid to speak. In my lessons, I aim to create a relaxed and stimulating environment where you can feel comfortable, ask questions, and, most importantly, speak without being afraid of making mistakes. All of my students who have taken the CILS exam have successfully passed it. Many of them have continued studying with me simply because they enjoy improving their Italian and having the opportunity to chat regularly with a native speaker. I’d love to help you find your voice in Italian and enjoy the journey along the way! 🇮🇹

(Certified TOEFL) Tutor for Italian with more than 10 years of experience as a tutor at uni. Hi! My name is Marte and I have a master's degree in Cognitive Linguistics (final grade 110 cum laude/110). Through the years I attended numerous academic institutions (I'm currently enrolled in a second master's degree in Neural Engineering), both in Italy and abroad, gaining a lot of experience as a student and as a tutor. I'm an Italian native speaker and that, combined with my linguistics competencies, will help us to shape our lectures in the best way possible.. I've lived, studied and worked abroad, I also have a TOEFL certificate, and my degrees are in English so that we can use it as a support during our lectures! I firmly believe that anyone can improve their knowledge about any language, as a beginner and as a more advanced learner! We can start together your journey with the Italian language, or we can refine all the skills that you already acquired. I like the lectures to be fun, engaging and tailor-made, you learn at your pace. I also know a lot of fun facts about language!

I'd love to help you succeed on your language-learning journey! I'm Russian-American by birth, but have lived abroad and studied many foreign languages as a personal interest such as Korean as part of a study abroad program, Arabic during my Bacherlor's degree in Italy, and Norwegian to better connect with my ancestry. I particularly enjoy striving to learn a new language in order to be able to read books in the original version. I also enjoy history podcasts, foreign films and spending time with my family. As a teacher, I aim to prioritize each student's individual goals and needs in helping them improve in a language. I do my best to help the student find a way of learning that best suits their specific style and personality and that allows them to see results and enjoy the process while maintaining realistic expectations. I want to see everyone succeed and be satisfied with themselves for the effort and time they've invested on their language learning journey! I don't have one set way of teaching. Rather, I try to figure out what approach would work best with each individual based on what their goals are. I prioritize pronunciation and a strong foundation in basic grammatical concepts as two things that you can build upon confidently. My goal is for our time spent together to be fruitful and satisfying.

Living in different countries, I face the exciting challenge of trying to speak different idioms Among other things I am a photographer and a traveler. Being nowadays just a passion, even though constant, deep and strong, I like to consider photography as my main interest since decades, taking it very seriously regardless of the commitment as a business/profession. This is my attitude in everything I do. I am an easy person, educated and relaxed. I feel comfortable approaching any kind of conversations with any students, whatever their level might be, loving to share my experiences and listen about their own. I use to be a teacher in photography, a teaching experience that helped me developing a personal attitude in let students, and people at large, feeling comfortable at talking with me. This is my main skill in teaching, approaching any lesson, at any level, more like a friendly conversation than an examination! We’ll work together, according to any students goals, without any stress or pressure. I’m always happy to chat with the students about what they like, what they need more or about what let them feel more comfortable with. Helping them whenever will be necessary, I will stimolate them in going througt the conversation in an informal, less academic, easy and friendly way. Basic grammar for beginners, constant corrections, examples in any fields and lots of idioms, to let you discover and master the Italian language beyond and after the academic, of course necessary, steps! Ciao, grazie e a presto!

I'm a certified Italian teacher for foreigners and I started with private lessons both online and in presence. So far, my students have expressed satisfaction about my lessons, because I'm flexible in my schedule and very focused on their goals. In my lessons, I follow an inductive methodology, which means that, as a guide in the learning process of the students, I help them to discover by themselves the rules that govern the various linguistic aspects. I think that this methodology is much more effective than other more traditional methods, since it allows better internalize what has been learned.

Language Coach Ciao! Sono Giulia, un’insegnante poliglotta nata nella magica Venezia, dove l’amore per le lingue e le culture è nel mio DNA. Con una laurea in Lingue e un master in Interpretazione, ho aiutato studenti di ogni livello—dai professionisti in Russia ai bambini con bisogni speciali—a raggiungere i loro obiettivi con fiducia. I have already been teaching Italian and English for the past 4 years. More about my experience: - I have been to Russia where I taught at a company for business purposes. - I also have some experience in helping children with learning disabilities. 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.

    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.
