My lessons focus mainly on two aspects: oral and written production and the study of grammar, with particular attention to phonetic and phonology. My lessons are aimed at satisfying the needs of the learner and are prepared according to the needs of each one. Read more

I am an English (ESL) and Italian (ISL) teacher working at a multinational company operating in the language learning market, with training... centers all over the world. I have earned a Master's Degree in Pedagogy from the Faculty of Education at the University of Bologna and I have several years of experience in education, working in different fields and holding various positions, such as school tutor, pedagogue, and teacher at a language learning center, working with adults (e.g. Corporate/Business English) and children/teenagers at public/private schools (from pre-school to high school). I have also studied in France (Universitè Paris X), USA (Vassar College, NY), experiences that have led me to have a high command of English and French. During my university years, I also participated in pedagogical research projects abroad, in particular in Sweden and New York, to study different educational approaches with pre-school children. Thanks to these experiences I have developed a pedagogical method that can be adapted to the specific needs of adults and children, helping them to find the learning method that best suits their necessities. My methodology is based on learning by doing, i.e. learning through action: the student is placed in the center of the learning process, in a context in which they will be led to put into practice the skills they have acquired, even in the case of beginners, through a real immersion in the English/Italian language. Lessons are conducted entirely in English to allow the students to strengthen their speaking, reading, and listening comprehension skills since the very beginning of the course. My lessons are tailored to the specific needs of the students and the material I use is diverse, stimulating, and interactive. I use Cambridge material, especially for the preparation of certifications, as well as online resources such as articles from international newspapers, and multimedia material including videos and interactive games.

Hi there, my name is Roberta. I am an Italian native speaker, and a professional language teacher with a DITALS II certification from Siena... University. I live in Italy in a lovely little town called Monate near a small lake of the same name, just 40 minutes by car from Milan. The aim of the lessons will not be learning generic Italian but to learn Italian according to the needs of every student. Each lesson will be personalized and designed to match students’ interests, linguistic level and learning style.Every lesson will be planned around a text, which could either be a written piece, an audio segment or a video that will be used as a focal point for both communication and grammatical study. I will provide students with all of the teaching materials used in class that can later be used for homework and self – study, especially for developing writing skills. I have been working as an Italian teacher since 2016, offering both traditional and e-learning/online classes. I am specialized at teaching young people and adults who want to study Italian for a variety of different reasons: work, education, residency or simply for a love of Italy and its culture.Finally, as a result of my volunteer position as a documents advisor for immigrants, I can help students to prepare for the B1 level Italian language exam, which is necessary to apply for Italian citizenship.

Dear all, Would you like to learn a new language such as Italian, English or Spanish in a smooth, accessible and fun way? Then, it would be a... great idea to embark on an exciting journey together! My big priority is to make sure that my students will learn a new language and get much more familiar with a new culture as fast as possible by doing dynamic and funny activities which suit everyone’s needs and passions. Song lyrics, texts from your favourite books, literature, parts of movies, news, TV series, traditional recipes may be only some of the instruments that we can use in order to make the learning process more efficient and focused on using the new language in different fields. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Languages and Literature from the University of Verona (Italy) and a Master’s Degree, cum Laude, in Languages and Media from the University ‘Cattolica’ in Milan (Italy) and Chapman University in Orange, California (USA). If you are a proper beginner, if you already know a few words but you don’t dare to speak to anyone yet, if you are already very confident with the language but you still want to get to a higher level of proficiency, if you want to know better about one of these cultures, than this is a perfect course for you. A nice introductory chat can help both of us to understand which is the starting level and which is the goal of the course in order to tailor a proper class according to your need.

Hi! I have been teaching Italian for several years and I offer Italian lessons for all levels and all ages. In my lessons I often use ad hoc... didactized Italian movies and songs, to bring students closer to the authentic language and culture and I always try to stimulate interest in literature.

I always try to make the lessons fun using even educational games. I’m avaible for individual and group lessons and exam preparation. Read more

Dear student, my name is Domingo and I am an Italian teacher. 2 short words about me: After classical studies, I graduated in Italian language... and literature. Then I obtained the Cedils certificate as a teacher of Italian for foreigners. What kind of teacher am I? How can I help you? Well, I can help you who already know Italian, B1, B2, C1, C2, but you want to deepen the Italian culture, you love poetry, music or maybe you want to discover Italian cinema, or you simply want to improve your command in this tongue. You who study in Italy, you have to deal with subjects such as history, literature, philosophy, sociology, and you want to deepen some words or concepts in Italian and you want coaching, a valid help. To you professional, who know Italian but need cultural support to achieve your goals. I believe that teaching is an exchange, where the teacher is the first to learn. I believe that a language is best learned with emotional involvement, in a relaxed and friendly environment, to allow for greater assimilation into long-term memory. By the word emotional, I mean the pleasure of doing something, of getting involved and having fun. So my dear students, I hope to meet you soon to discover Italian together !!! Read more

About me Ciao! My name is Andrea and I am a native Italian with years of Italian language teaching experience, graduated from University of... Rome. I lived in London and Los Angeles for several years. Then I attended courses for teaching Italian as a second language. I have been teaching Italian language to foreigners for 4 years and it has been very satisfying so far. Qualifications & Experience Since I was attending primary school until I graduated from University I have always studied both Italian and English languages. After University I continued my studies attending courses for becoming a professional teacher of Italian as a foreign language and then started to work as a teacher abroad in London and LA. Today I am teaching mostly online, I really like this way of working: technology gave me the opportunity to reach all of my students living in different countries and continents. I love my job and I am passionate about it. I teach Italian language to foreigners and it has been very satisfying so far. I give online lessons and also in person when the student lives in my own city, the beautiful Rome. I currently have many students who come from different countries like Netherlands, Brazil, USA, Russia, Poland, France, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Scotland, Switzerland, Ukraine, Belgium, Israel etc. Students who attend my courses work at professional level in ESA, FAO, UN here in Rome. Students who live abroad of Italy are doctors, smart entrepreneurs, artists, writers or very good and young students. They all need to learn Italian for both private / professional reasons. I am highly qualified for improving your pronunciation, public speaking and oratory skills since I attended diction courses for longer than 5 years. My students are the first to show me gratitude for the good results and improvements they achieve attending the course. They tell me enthusiastically about the successes achieved both at work and in private-daily life by learning the Italian language with me. Teaching Approach I always try to understand what kind of student I have in front of me, where he/she comes from and his/her age. The way I teach to kids is different than the way I use to teach to adults. I always try to meet the student's needs, guiding him/her gently. If the student needs to know more grammar I start my lessons teaching more rules, following a Structural approach: this means that I would start teaching the language as a complex of grammatical rules which are to be learned one at a time in a set order. Along with that it is possible to do some grammar translations to and from the target language and to practice some Audio - Lingual method (learning through the practice of dialogues of every situations). Only after all this I push the student towards a Direct method, that means that it is possible only to use the target language: the teacher explains everything using the target language only and the learner is not allowed to use his or her mother tongue. When the student starts to speak fluently I like to focus more on the pronunciation, about the way he/she sounds practising with the student more conversation, analyzing his/her fluency, mental blocks or mispronunciation. The student has to sound as natural as possible after few months. Read more

Hi, welcome to my profile! My name is Alessia and I currently live in Italy. I spent a few years in the United States where I deepened my... knowledge of English and American dialects. I am currently specializing in Spanish and German. Over the years, I have given private lessons in Italian, English, Spanish, and Japanese, with Japanese being the most requested at the moment. Regarding Japanese, I had the opportunity to teach the language at an American college with a native Japanese teacher, applying the method that they use to learn their own language.

WHO AM I? My name is Andrea Polverini and I would like to give you some information about myself on a personal and professional level. I... have been working as an English teacher since 1998 and as an Italian teacher since 2004. Since 2009, I have been working as a translator. I graduated in English philology (University of Pisa) and later specialised in audiovisual translation (University of Surrey). From an educational point of view, I trained through courses for English teachers such as the CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages - Cambridge Assessment English) and the DELTA (Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages - Cambridge Assessment - Module 1). I have lived and worked in countries such as the United Kingdom, Venezuela, Ireland and currently reside in Spain. I am passionate about foreign languages. In addition to English and Spanish, which I currently work with, I continue to study and practice other languages such as French, Catalan and German. My more than 15 years of experience teaching Italian and English to students of different nationalities, ages and levels have given me the opportunity to reflect on my role as a foreign language teacher and to evolve into a coach. More than a transmitter of knowledge, I want to be a travelling companion for my clients, with whom I can discover the most suitable path for each of them towards their personalised language goals. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ONE OF MY ITALIAN SESSIONS? We are all different human beings, with different personalities, feelings and a unique brain. In a relaxed atmosphere conducive to the learning process, I will guide you by respecting your personality and help you take full responsibility for the learning process. It will be up to you to help me set your goals as accurately as possible from the test session. Your progress, as far as possible, will be measured. Your goals and progress will be reviewed periodically. Motivation will be the key to your commitment to your learning. I can only help you find your motivation, but I cannot give it to you. For your learning to be effective, you must already have it within you. You will bear the weight of the work, because the one who does, learns. I will only serve as a guide. The sessions will take place without any pressure and in an atmosphere of complete relaxation. This will help you get rid of any internal blocks that would be an obstacle to the development of your language skills. Your memory will be stimulated through positive emotions and regular review. During the sessions, you will always receive feedback from me, but in a way that interferes as little as possible with the conversation. Your curiosity will be encouraged through the use of material that is relevant to you, with open-ended questions and allowing you time to respond, without trying to finish your sentences. Suggestions rather than instructions will be given and useful silences necessary for reflection will be allowed. As far as possible and unless specifically requested by you, the use of textbooks designed for language learning will be avoided. Any audio-visual or written stimuli will be chosen with you in mind. The relationship between us will not be the typical teacher-student relationship. We will be travelling companions and we will work together to achieve the set objectives. Your emotions and moods will be as important as your brain in the learning process. Finally, you will never be judged for anything you say during the session and you will always receive my support for your efforts. My only aim is to help you develop your potential. Read more

Hi my name is Irma Caputo. I am 34 years old. I am so glad to start my experience with you! I love my job and I love to offer the people the... experience of a fulfill immersion in another culture through the language. I am a language teacher and university researcher. I completed may Phd in "Estudos da linguagem" in Brazil at Puc-Rio de Janeiro with a thesis about philosophy of language, translation and esthetic; the core point was Nuno Ramo's book "Ó" (2008), that I translated to Italian (my mother tongue). I always studied in the field of foreign languages and literature and along the time I took some courses and specialization about how to teach a foreign or second language (as DITALS II for example). I have a long teaching experience, especially of Italian and Portuguese, as foreign languages. I worked already in Brazil, Argentina, Italy and Germany. Some big institutions were I thaught languages are: Italiana Institute for culture of Rio de Janeiro, Italian Institute Alessandro Manzoni of Buenos Aires, Enel Brazil. The Method: I work with a communicative method. The first goal is to communicate. The oral expression is the focus, but it doesn't mean that we will not study grammar. Starting from some functions of the language, that is how to reach a communicative goal, we study the vocabulary and the frases we need to reach this goal and through a reflection about these phrases (inductive and deductive), we will also study the grammar structure we need to produce them. Even if we focus on oral expression, it will be important the harmonic development of all linguistics abilities such as reading, listening, writing, speaking. Other abilities such as intercultural communications will be really important. Material used: The material will be deposited in digital format in the Dropbox account of the course and the student will be responsible for printing it. Handout composed by a selection of authentic materials: - readings taken from newspapers, magazines, books and blogs with exercises and activities created ad hoc for the development of specific objectives based on the proposed input; - audios of radio conversations, live dialogues, and TV programs with exercises and activities ad hoc created for the development of specific objectives based on the input proposed; - videos taken from specific channels of the main social networks and the Internet, television programmes, websites of different types taken from the Brazilian network with exercises and activities created ad hoc for the development of specific objectives based on the proposed input. This material will be integrated with a book that we will use during the lessons and some grammars handbook Didactic structure and approach Based on a selection of topics treated through the chosen material in the manner mentioned above, there will be an associated programme related to the structures of the language (grammar) and stimuli for the development of pragmatic, sociolinguistic, and intercultural skills. The grammar, therefore, will be approached in a deductive and reflective way from analyses of the proposed materials. It will always occur after the analysis and approach of the materials, which represent the language in a living context, so that structures will never be presented loosely in the form of a lesson. The selected topics, in order to facilitate a better understanding and approach to the reality of contemporary world, cover and address different areas. In the first levels (A1, A2) the topics are especially connected to the functions of language (how to orde something at the bar, how to reserve a room).
