Conversational Italian classes online

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.

I have been teaching for years, inspired by my mum's work (teaching is a family thing :) As a child I used to listen to my mum teaching and that's how I soon realized that was my cup of tea as well! :D I am very patient and smiley. I love the power of words and I speak very clearly, using a large variety of words. Moreover, I am very good at telling tales and get people involved into the magic and charm of the Italian language and culture :)

My approach is friendly and involving, because I really love to help other people to learn a new language. Don't be nervous If you make a mistake: you're welcome to ask me questions, to repeat or ask me to reformulate.

Sono un'insegnante paziente e gioisco ogni volta che vedo i miei studenti fare dei miglioramenti. Infatti, sono davvero molto felice anche quando dei miei amici di altre nazionalità iniziano a studiare l'italiano e li aiuto sempre molto volentieri!

I'm graduated in Languages and Literatures, with a B2 level of English. I am enrolled to a Theoric and applicated Linguistics department. I enjoy helping people with languages because I like to explain how a language works, and since I like learning languages myself, I want to help willingly people who want to learn my native language. *** please consider that if the student is absent and he or she hasn't told me at least 12 hours in advance, the lesson will not be refunded. Thank you for understanding ***

I graduated from Università Statale di Milano in 2013 in "Foreign Languages ​​and Literatures". After university, I obtained a 1st Level Master in "Promoting and Teaching of Italian Language and Culture to Foreigners". In 2013 I was an intern at the Italian department of Kennesaw State University, USA. My Master’s final project was published as an article in an specialized Italian LS/L2 magazine. After my Master, I had many teaching experiences, also with Individuals with learning disabilities, both in Italy and in the USA. I worked in Pennsylvania as a Teaching Assistant for the elementary, intermediate and advanced Italian language and culture classes at Bucknell University, Lewisburg.

Sono una persona calma e paziente, mi piace andare incontro alle esigenze degli studenti adattandomi alle necessità dei diversi studenti.

I tend to be demanding with my students, but laid-back at the same time. I want my students to make the best, pressuring the students so as they can achieve their goals. I am also very accommodating, adapting my way of teaching and the language of instruction (Italian, English or Spanish) according to the preferences of the student. I am quite honest. This means that I might sound a bit direct sometimes, but when I tell you "your Italian has really improved! You could even have a job interview now!", well, I really mean it. So you best believe it!

Lavoro come professoressa d'italiano da 5 anni. Ho esperienza con differenti tipi di studenti: adolescenti, giovani e adulti. Sono una persona aperta e curiosa. Curo nel dettaglio le mie lezioni e mi piace imparare dal confronto con i miei studenti.

I have a degree in law (with honours) and have an excellent knowledge of Italian grammar. In fact, every day I have to draw up complex legal acts that require a very thorough knowledge of the Italian language. During my lessons I use various tools (text, audio, video) that I personally chose to improve you in the aspects of the Italian language in which you are most lacking. Also, I can create exercises just for you. Furthermore, at the end of each lesson, I will show you the aspects you need to work on most.

Non amo particolarmente i metodi di insegnamento tradizionali, per questo proverò a rendere il tuo apprendimento un po' più stimolante e originale. Le mie lezioni saranno informali, dinamiche e piene di riferimenti alla cultura e alla società italiana. So quanto sia difficile studiare un'altra lingua! Ecco perché sarò sempre disponibile per chiarimenti, risolvere dubbi e fare pratica con esercitazioni.

I'm a certified teacher with : ACTFL OPI Oral Proficiency Interview (The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) Master Degree in teaching skills and italian culture International House teaching quality certificate Ditals Certificate on Teaching Method Capability for Italian to Foreigner Examiner Certification CELI Italian Language for Foreigners 15 years experience in 5 countries Experience with both adults and children .In my group lessons I prepare content and activities that are appropriate but challenging for the students so they work beyond their comfort zone and remember what they learn.

For me, teaching Italian is a passion more than a job! I am deeply convinced that learning a language also means knowing and getting closer to a new culture, so I love teaching my students linguistic and cultural habits and curiosities about my country. Therefore, through the study of the language, I also try to provide knowledge about Italy and the Italian way of life.

I am a serious and charismatic teacher who believes in keeping the student's motivation and interest on the subject in order to get better at it. There is no greater satisfaction than seeing your student progressing and increasingly loving the subject they are studying.

Mi piace insegnare la lingua attraverso la conoscenza, che acquisiremo insieme, della realtà e della cultura italiana, sia storica sia popolare.

I've a background of studies on Humanities, so I'm very competent in my language. But let better speak my students about me as a teacher! Now I'm full time on italki, and these are the kinds of comments I've been receiving lately: "Giulio is an amazing teacher! He is very knowledgeable in all things Italian and Italy! It was a lot of fun learning the language through song and pleasant conversation. I am a nervous language learner who is a bit shy about making mistakes, but Giulio helped me feel very comfortable in our lesson. I highly recommend him!" "I've never had a lesson like this! I really like Giulio's methods and I feel as though it's impossible NOT to learn!!! Grazie, Giulio!"

After graduating, I attended various training courses and received two internationally recognized qualifications; the CEDILS certification and the “diploma DILIT”, which gave with a strong foundation in the theory and practical skills required for teaching Italian. I have given private Italian lessons to students of all levels, both offline and online; I have also worked and volunteered as an Italian teacher with an organisation that helps unaccompanied immigrant minors. I don't believe that one method fits all; everyone is different and so we will work out the best strategy for you, based on your goals, your personality and your current level of Italian.

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.

I like to put at the service of my students my language skills to help them in learning Italian and in achieving their goals. I am patient and I have listening skills, a characteristic that allows me to meet the needs of all and to study learning programs adapted to the objectives of each person. Mi piace mettere al servizio dei miei studenti le mie competenze linguistiche per aiutarli nell'apprendimento dell'italiano e nel raggiungimento dei loro obiettivi. Sono paziente e ho capacità di ascolto, caratteristica che mi permette di venire incontro alle esigenze di tutti e di studiare programmi di apprendimento adatti agli obiettivi di ognuno.

I am very easy going, calm and patient: I can assure you that you will feel comfortable speaking with me anytime. I'm also flexible: I can adapt to your profile and your level to make sure that you achieve all of your goals. I can help you with practicing daily Italian as well as a more formal one for work occasions. Sono molto alla mano, calma e paziente: ti assicuro che ti sentirai a tuo agio a parlare con me in qualsiasi momento. Sono anche flessibile: posso adattarmi al tuo profilo e al tuo livello per assicurarmi che tu raggiunga tutti i tuoi obiettivi.
