Hi, I'm Daiana!
→I was born in Romania and raised in Italy.
→I'm a university student in London, where I am doing a BA in Education and Language Studies(English, Italian, Spanish).
→ My specialization is focused in Language Learning and Young Education.
→During my free time, I'm a volunteer in a bilingual centre for children with disabilities.
→I'm a very patient, understandable and (as described by my students) funny person.


⇨ Me as a Teacher

→ During the classes, the student will receive PDF documents, study sheets, worksheets and video files (on request).
→ All the notes will be written on a special application, called ''GOODNOTES''. Whoever is unable to download it, after the class, I will send the PDF files with all the notes and exercises.
→ My students have full access on different online free books published on the class drive, Quizlet and Docs files.
→ I offer 1-to-1 and group classes, with available the recording (under the privacy rules)
→ The goals of my students are the most important to follow during the classes. :)

⇨⇨ What about homework? Each lesson you will learn new words and you will have to do an exercise or a text based on the topic we talked about during that lesson. In this way you will review the topics addressed and improve your vocabulary and your writing and comprehension.

✸✸✸EXTRA (TEACHING ACTIVITIES AND VOLUNTEERING)✸✸✸
➯ Online ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher (ITALKI).
I have been an online teacher for three years. I have taught students ages 3-18 years old. I have taught reading comprehension, writing, spelling, and primary and intermediate grammar in this position. I also helped Romanian and Italian kids with their English homework for first to sixth grade.

➯ Online Italian language teacher (ITALKI).
For three years, I have worked full time as an Italian teacher. I teach for all levels of the CEFR (The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). I focus on vocabulary, grammar, speaking, reading and listening. I have planned curriculum activities, tutored, and worked with students in 1-to-1 and large groups. The youngest is around three years old, and the oldest is over 60 years old.

➯ Online Romanian language teacher (ITALKI)
I have worked as a part-time Romanian teacher for young and teenage students (8-16) for the past three years. I created individualised plans in order to reach each student's goal.

➯ Online Italian language teacher (VERBLING)
I worked for about two years on this platform. I have taught literature, maths, science and music in Italian, helping the kids with their homework and exams. I mostly helped Romanian kids learn Italian to adapt quickly to the new country and not feel marginalised.

➯ Teacher for 'Friendly Classes' Zoom meetings (PRIVATE ZOOM CLASSES)
Two years ago, I created the initiative of 'Friendly Classes' where my students from all over the world meet and learn together different topics. I divided the classes into three age groups: 4-6 years old, 7-11 years old and 12-16 years old. The length varies between 35 and 60 minutes, based on the class and kids' interaction. I teach about climate change, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Easter, Hanukkah, Halloween, National Days of different countries, Ramadan, etc.

➯ Daycare assistant in a Bilingual Kindergarten (Terni, Italy)
Before the pandemic, I worked in a bilingual (English-Italian) kindergarten for a few months. I played and taught basic English knowledge to kids between one and four years old. I was responsible for some kids with autism, dyslexia and 2E (twice exceptional).

➯ Nursery teacher (Onesti, Romania)
In 2021 I travelled around Europe and worked as a volunteer in various places with children. I found an incredible small city in Romania called Onesti, where I taught Romanian and Italian to kids between two and five years old.

➯ Volunteer at the Ukrainian borders (Siret, Romania)
Between the 28th of February and the 20th of March, I volunteered at the borders between Romania and Ukraine. I took care of a group of 13 orphans that crossed the borders alone and introduced them to the new environment. I helped the parents learn practical phrases in English, Romanian or Italian to make them accommodate and feel safe. I still help them through Zoom meetings twice a week, where they receive psychological help and language classes.
