      Italian and French tutor — Hello! My name is Maria Elena and I am an Italian teacher. I live in a small city in southern Italy near the sea that I love very much. I am perfectly bilingual, both Italian and French mother tongue. My passions are literature, foreign languages, music and travelling.

      Why choose Maria Elena B.

      "It's a pleasure to study Italian with Maria Elena. In the beginning she asked me about my goals (and my goal is to start speaking Italian, to focus more on conversational part of it). And I very much appreciate the fact that Maria Elena tailors our lessons in accordance with my needs. Every lesson she introduces new grammar rules and their use cases, but we also dedicate enough time to speak and discuss topics in Italian that are very useful in every day life. So I definitely recommend Maria Elena for those who are keen to learn Italian very well."

      Experienced native Italian tutor — My name is Valentina and I have been an English and Italian teacher online for more than 10 years. I have got a Master in teaching techniques that qualifies me to offer the best teaching experience possible.
      I have experience in teaching children aged 3 to 19 and adults aged 20 and over.

      Why choose Valentina B.

      "Valentina is a perfect tutor! I found her lessons very fun, helpful and effective. After just a couple of lessons with Valentina I was able to easily communicate in restaurants during my vacations in Italy. I appreciate a lot the good balance between grammar, conversations, vocabulary and pronunciation. That is the main reason why lessons are very involving and pass very quickly (sadly). I would strongly reccomend lessons with Valentina as per my personal improvement, that I have made with her help! By far the best Italian language tutor I have ever had! With Valentina you will not only learn the Italian language, but you will surely actually start to speak it - which for me is the most important as far as the language learning goes."
