Creative Writer | Structured Italian Grammar & Conversation Hi! I’m Dario, a native Italian speaker, author and tutor from Genova. I specialize in language and identity through storytelling. My bestselling gay / LGBT novel, Ragazzo, Uomo e Nemo (available on Amazon), explores these themes and can be an interesting resource for students looking for more cultural depth in their Italian studies. As someone who speaks several languages (English, Spanish, Indonesian, and Portuguese), I also have firsthand experience with the language-learning process. I have experience teaching students of all levels, from beginners to advanced learners. My approach can be adapted to your interests, whether you want to analyze literature, music, or practice conversation. I’m a queer 🌈, open-minded Italian teacher who values communication, respect, and an inclusive learning environment. I adapt my lessons to each student, focusing on grammatical accuracy and vocabulary. We can learn together through simple conversation (I particularly like talking about travel), translating songs, movies or books, reviewing grammar and vocabulary, etc. For grammar practice, I use a textbook: I can provide the PDF if needed. 💰 Save up to 35% with lesson packages!

Sono molto precisa, attenta e disponibile. Mi piace creare una certa sintonia con lo studente in modo da capire le sue esigenze e rendere le lezioni più piacevoli. Non credo ci sia un metodo valido per tutti ma piuttosto che la lezione cambi a seconda dei bisogni di ogni studente. Anche io sto studiando e ho studiato una lingua straniera quindi posso capire perfettamente le difficoltà che si possono incontrare nel percorso.

Bring Italian to Life Through Conversation & Culture 🇮🇹 Want to turn your Italian knowledge into real conversations? 🇮🇹 Parliamo italiano! Let’s bring Italian to life through conversation and culture. Hi! I’m Elena, an Italian language teacher with a background in Foreign Languages and Literature and a specialization in language teaching. I’ve taught students of different ages and levels in Italy and abroad, and I currently live and teach in Bratislava, Slovakia. I believe the best way to learn a language is by using it. That’s why my lessons focus on: 🗣️ Conversation & real-life communication — parliamo di cose vere! We’ll talk about topics that interest you and help you use Italian naturally. 📚 Clear grammar & vocabulary — explained simply and practised in context. 🎬 Authentic Italian — through films, books, music, and everyday expressions. 🇮🇹 Italian culture — because language is much more than grammar and vocabulary. 🎯 Your goals & interests — lessons adapted to your level, needs, and interests. As a language learner myself, I know how challenging it can be to speak a new language and make mistakes. My goal is to create a relaxed and supportive environment where you can build confidence and enjoy the learning process. I also speak English, French, and Spanish, and I’m currently learning Slovak, so I understand what it feels like to be on the other side of the classroom too. Let’s learn Italian together over a coffee. A presto ☕🇮🇹

Mi chiamo Simonetta e vivo in Italia. Da sempre mi affascina tutto ciò che ha a che fare con le lingue straniere. Parlo tedesco, inglese e spagnolo ad un buon livello; ma, al di là di questo, c'è sempre un modo per capirsi! Iniziare una conversazione parlando della vita di ogni giorno può offrire spunti per parlare di altri argomenti e discutere diversi temi. Credo che destreggiarsi nella conversazione sia lo scopo di quasi tutti quelli che desiderano imparare una lingua straniera. Posso proporre esercizi di grammatica, vocabolario o comprensione. Quello che secondo me è più importante, però, è la comprensione della lingua orale. Per questo cerco di dare più importanza alla conversazione, soprattutto se riguarda eventi quotidiani. Penso anche che la lettura sia un buon metodo per migliorare la pronuncia e ascolto volentieri chi desideri leggere.

Ho conseguito una laurea magistrale in "Lingue Moderne per la Comunicazione e la Cooperazione Internazionale" e un master in "Area linguistica per l'insegnamento della lingua inglese negli istituti secondari di I e II grado". Questo percorso formativo mi ha permesso di lavorare come docente di lingua inglese nelle scuole statali italiane per 5 anni. La mia più grande passione, tuttavia, è insegnare la mia lingua madre. Oggi vivo in Scozia e, dopo aver perfezionato le mie competenze con un master in "Language Teaching" presso l'Università di Edimburgo, lavoro come tutor di italiano.

English-Spanish-speaking Italian tutor with an experience of more than 3000 lessons I am a language enthusiast who loves not only learning, but also sharing knowledge. I study Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Milan (German and Scandinavian languages) and hold a BA in Linguistic Mediation (English and Spanish). I was born and raised in Italy, and I have lived in the USA (3 months) and Sweden (12 months), where I worked as a teacher’s assistant for English and Spanish in elementary and middle schools. These experiences shaped both my identity and my teaching style. I am demanding but also relaxed: I push my students to achieve their goals while creating a comfortable learning environment. I adapt my lessons to your needs and can teach in Italian, English or Spanish. I am also very honest: if I tell you your Italian has improved, I truly mean it. My lessons are tailored to your objectives and focused on real progress. We will work on grammar, but also on how the language is actually used in context. I enjoy discussing culture, challenging stereotypes, and helping you express ideas through speaking and writing. I always aim to make lessons engaging, effective and enjoyable.

Insegnante laureata in L12- italiano come lingua seconda e specializzata in didattica LM39 Ho conseguito una laurea magistrale in Interculturalità e Didattica presso l’Università degli Studi di Palermo e frequento attualmente un master per l’insegnamento della lingua e cultura italiana. Ho inoltre una laurea triennale in Mediazione linguistica – Italiano come lingua seconda (L2). Durante il mio percorso universitario ho partecipato al programma Erasmus, vivendo per 5 mesi a Liegi, in Belgio. Ho 32 anni e vivo a Palermo. Amo viaggiare, conoscere nuove culture e promuovere la lingua, la cultura e la bellezza del mio Paese. Sono appassionata di cinema e musica. Da 5 anni sono tutor su italki e il mio obiettivo professionale è diventare insegnante di italiano per stranieri. Durante la mia formazione ho approfondito diversi approcci e metodi per l’insegnamento dell’italiano L2, prediligendo l’approccio comunicativo. Le mie lezioni sono personalizzate in base al livello, agli interessi e agli obiettivi di ogni studente, creando un ambiente sereno e stimolante. Parto generalmente dalla conversazione su un argomento scelto insieme allo studente, per sviluppare specifiche competenze comunicative. Quando necessario, approfondisco anche gli aspetti grammaticali e strutturali della lingua. Utilizzo materiali creati da me, video, attività di role play e altri strumenti per favorire la comprensione e la produzione orale. Sono inoltre disponibile ad assegnare esercizi e a correggerli durante la lezione successiva.

Il mio metodo d'insegnamento è basato soprattutto sulla conversazione. Parleremo fin dalla prima lezione per farti sentire a tuo agio con la lingua. Parlando l'italiano fin dall'inizio riuscirai ad apprendere più rapidamente ed in modo più divertente. Lezioni personalizzate sulla base delle tue esigenze e del tempo che hai a disposizione. Su richiesta è possibile anche organizzare lezioni su temi specifici (ad esempio business, hobby, scienza,economia,arte). Altri metodi che utilizzo: - Giochi di ruolo -> migliora il tuo italiano parlato - Descrizione immagini -> fondamentale per espandere il tuo vocabolario - Disussione + correzione --> impara a esprimerti e alla fine ricevi le correzioni

Anna from Palermo as a language student myself, I know the struggles one finds in learning a language without the proper method or motivation. I can offer different perspectives and traditional or untraditional methods you can use to get familiar with the actual spoken language. I have great faith in the skills learned from dialogue and the tranquility that a familiar, calm and unprejudiced person can provide.

Im better at reading Italian, than speaking the language currently, and he came up with a plan tailored to me — not cookie cutter.

    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.

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.

How much does it cost to hire an Italian language tutor?

The rate of hiring an online Italian teacher on Italki differs depending on different factors like the experience of the teacher, the duration of the lesson, their current location, their mother tongue, and many more.
For example, the price of a 60-minutes lesson with a professional Italian teacher ranges from around $17 to $19 only! Likewise, a 45-minutes lesson with an Italian tutor will cost you between $12 and $14. The average cost of a 60-minutes Italian lesson on italki is just $15!
