Italian Tutors & Teachers

Hello my name is Ettore and I was born in the beautiful Florence, in Italy. I love teaching! I like to share my knowledge with people who need it and, at the same time, learning from everybody. This is the meaning of life! I have a master's degree in teaching at the Giovanni Pascoli School. I have been teaching Italian for many years to foreigners in Florence, working for a voluntary association, and also at the UAM (Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana) in Mexico city and Aguascalientes, Mexico. In 2017 and 2018 I taught Italian in Australia. I have shaped my teaching over time by having to teach to people from 5 to 70 in many different situations, face to face, online, in schools, in neighbourhoods, in villages, in associations, even in different kind of churches and recreational clubs, using the most effective teaching approach based on the situation. Right now I am in Thailand, where I keep going to teach on different online platforms where I also teach photography and video shoo...

Solo conversazione / Conversation only. Ciao, sono GIACOMO di ROMA, ITALY. ENGLISH: In the past, I tutored American university students who were studying Italian in Rome. Last year, I taught more than 260 conversation lessons here on Verbling when I was waiting for surgery. (Read the good comments) Now I am able to work part time but with my free time I would like to help you to improve your conversation in Italian or Roman dialect. I am studying English and I know how important conversation is to learning. Through conversation, all of my students have become much more confident and fluent. If you would like to practice, I can help you. ITALIANO: Nel passato ho insegnato studenti Americani dell'università che studiavono Italiano a Roma. L’anno scorso, ho fatto piu di 260 lezioni conversazionali qui a Verbling mentre stavo aspettando un operazione. (Leggi i buoni commenti). Adesso posso lavorare part time e, così, con il tempo disponibile mi piacerebbe aiutarti a migliorare la tua c...

I was preparing a lesson for a student of mine, when I found myself struggling with a translation. The word was “cavare”. «Pull out» I thought. But then… was there a better word? “Cavare”, in Italian, doesn’t only mean “to pull out”, that would be “estrarre”, “tirar fuori”, “rimuovere” or something else. “Cavare” has the word “cavità” (cavity) in it. “Cavare” means “to extract from a cavity”, “to remove and leave a cavity” and I couldn’t find a single word in English that suited the perfect meaning. This happens to me all the time, as I speak three languages daily and I am a “word perfectionist”: I am fascinated by the meaning that every word can have, those little shades of significance that can only be understood by those who profoundly study a language. And that is what I do: I study, all the time, to speak each of my three languages at its best, and I teach, to make my students learn properly the meaning of words and their best combination. My name is Cindy and I am a langua...

Do you want to improve your speaking skills in an interesting and fun way? Try a conversation class with me! Hello, I'm Paolo, and I was born and raised in Sardinia, Italy, which is one of the largest and most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean Sea. I don't live in Italy anymore, as I now travel the world full-time, seeing new places, experiences new cultures, and learning new languages. I started working as an online tutor in 2015, and I've helped many people from all over the world to improve their Italian. I offer conversation sessions, so if you have at least an intermediate level of Italian and want to practice with a native tutor, I'm the person you're looking for! Many people don't have the opportunity to speak in Italian and want to remain fluent, so this is the easiest way to maintain and improve your speaking and listening skills. Our sessions will be informal, interesting, and fun! You can practice by speaking in Italian, and I'll give you suggestions and corre...
