Native Italian-speaking teachers

One of the best ways to learn Italian is to immerse yourself in an environment where you can only use Italian. If you want to learn proper Italian pronunciation and speak more like a native speaker, we suggest you select a native Italian-speaking tutor. However, if you'd like to learn with a native-speaking tutor but communciate in another language, please be sure that the tutor also speaks that language.

Our native Italian-speaking tutors are often 25%-40% cheaper than private home tutors.

How do I choose a quality tutor?

Tutors with teaching experience

Experienced tutors are often quicker to identify problems their students are having in learning. Such tutors are also more likely to have worked with students with different backgrounds and personalities. However, it may still be worthwhile to try out tutors with less experience, especially if something about their background or experience catches your eye.

Tutors with certifications

Other than teaching experience, you can also choose tutors who are certified instructors. Aside from indicating proficiency in the language that the tutor teaches, such certifications are a sign that the tutor understands how to help students to maximize their learning.

Can lessons be customized for students?

Before students take their first lesson, we encourage them to discuss their learning needs and goals with their tutors. This helps give you a feel for what to expect, and is also a great opportunity for you to see if a tutor is suitable for you.

Q4. What's the right learning environment for me? Should I choose a Italian tutor who is a native speaker?

One of the best ways to learn Italian is to immerse yourself in an environment where you try to use only Italian.

However, if you do not currently have a solid base in spelling and/or vocabulary, we recommend you choose a bilingual tutor who speaks your target language and your native language, as you will likely have a better learning experience during your one-on-one private tutoring.

If you have a good range of vocabulary but lack the opportunity to practice, then we recommend you choose a native Italian tutor.

All tutoring fees are set by the Italian tutors themselves, and not by AT. Most of our Italian tutors charge USD$10-30 per hour.

You can also get matched with suitable Italian tutors who fit a specific budget. If the tutor’s fees work for you, you can buy a lesson package from them or start with a “trial lesson.”

You can pay with PayPal or credit card (American Express, Mastercard, or Visa). For certain international markets (e.g. Taiwan), we also accept local methods of payment, such as payment via ATM or convenience store.

If you have a short term goal, we recommend you purchase enough lessons that you can take classes consistently within your timeframe.
