I've taught thousands of lessons online, as well as in person in Italy and abroad, meeting people from around the world and seeing them improve lesson after lesson -- a very rewarding experience. I specialize in intermediate Italian for English native speakers (I'm also a professional English teacher and that helps me understand the challenges you might face), but all levels and nationalities are welcome. I can help you fix your grammar, improve your fluency, train your listening or expand your vocabulary. I can train you for a trip to Italy or for a job interview. We'll discuss your needs in detail, so no matter how broad or specific they are, I'll prepare the right classes for you.

Laureata in lingue, sono qui per aiutarti! I'm not a strict teacher, I just want to help you improve your italian without stress. I would like to make you talk fluently and teach you idiomatic expressions and correct your accent. Moreover, I think that being able to read and comprehend a text can be very useful if you want to travel to Italy. I don't focus on grammar (even if the grammar is always present when we talk and read)but I can help in case of doubts.

Sono anche io uno studente su italki dove cerco di migliorare l’inglese per questioni lavorative. Credo che una lingua nasca per essere parlata e quindi il solo modo per migliorare e perfezionarsi sia appunto parlarla. A volte lo stress, l’emozione o gli impegni lavorativi ci impediscono di tirare fuori tutte le nostre potenzialità. Per questo mi piace affrontare la lezione come una conversazione fra amici, rilassati e sereni.

Vittoria
👩🏼🏫 certified CEDILS italian teacher, con oltre 6 anni di esperienza 👩🏼🏫 In 2020 I started working in different schools, with students from 6 to 18 y/o. In 2021 I enrolled Italki, which made me want to become a professional teacher for foreigners. I am very patient and able to teach students of different ages, with different needs or level. 🗣 My Italian lessons to foreigners are mostly centred around vocabulary and having a conversation in Italian. I try to avoid English, since I believe that is the best way to learn a language in a way that allows us to actually apply it in the daily life. 📚 After an initial lesson we will decide together how to procede following your learning goals: speaking, reading, listening, grammar focus.

Your future Italian language tutor, ready to dedicate 100% to your success! As soon as I had the opportunity, I started teaching at a school for foreign children for several years, tutoring them in Italian and many other subjects. Today, I continue this passion at Italki, helping my students to achieve their linguistic and academic goals. I thus taught Italian for three years to people of different nationalities and levels, an experience that allowed me to combine my passion for intercultural communication with my desire to help others grow. I love travelling, discovering new cultures and making authentic connections through teaching. I can't wait to start this journey with you!

Being a language learner myself, I am familiar with what struggles people might have when it comes to learning a new language or taking it to the next level. In my opinion practicing and making mistakes is necessary when learning a new language and that's why i always try to make my students feel comfortable speaking and trying and make an environment in which we can all feel free to ask questions and grow.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or you’re an intermediate/advanced student, I can tailor our conversations to your level. For beginners, I’ll provide a guidebook and some exercises that we’ll review regularly. For intermediate/advanced students, we can focus on practicing and enhancing your speaking skills, while expanding your vocabulary. I’ve been on the other side of the screen, so I understand what it means to learn a new language. Conversation is the biggest challenge when learning a new language, and without practice, grammar rules can feel sterile. The biggest progress happens when you step out of your comfort zone, so don’t be afraid to make mistakes, I’m here to help you!

Mi è sempre piaciuto trasmettere le conoscenze linguistiche in modo comprensibile, arricchendole con esempi e connessioni o con brevi incursioni anche su altri argomenti purché siano funzionali alla nozione. Lascio parlare l'interlocutore cercando di non interromperlo e aiutandolo solo quando necessario, raccogliendo annotazioni sulle eventuali correzioni da comunicare con calma alla fine della conversazione o della frase.
