About Me
Ciao 👋 👨🏻🏫 🎊 🏠 🤌 🏳️🌈 👀✍️⏰💌
I'm 39 and I come from the seaside in the south of Rome.
(Currently living between Bologna and Rome).
I have a degree in foreign languages and literature and I am CEDILS and TEFL certified.
I am a dedicated bilingual Italian L2/LS and ESOL teacher with intercultural experience, excellent communication, and linguistic skills with a proven track record of providing high-quality learning. I assisted students from 37 countries on their language journeys using English and Spanish as the common language.
Before becoming a teacher I lived and worked around Europe for 10 years in Italy, the UK, Spain, and Germany. I speak English, Spanish, and a bit of French.
MY TEACHING STYLE:
As a teacher, I'm empathetic, patient, and flexible.
I offer structured and tailored lessons for all levels and purposes in Italian or English.
We will functionally practice the language, and have fun, so you'll be more confident with your social life and career.
OUR SESSIONS:
During the first part of our lessons, we will work on your conversational skills to build confidence, and I will identify the grammar aspects that need work. In the second half, we will focus on grammar, and reading comprehension using articles, and role-plays, and I can assign written homework according to your level. We will work on the functional language for everyday situations, learning grammar and vocabulary while improving your real-life conversation and speaking.
We will share the screen using a teaching platform, and you will have access to interactive lessons, articles, videos, and exercises. You can do your homework offline and review the lesson any time you want.
Whenever you're available just book a trial lesson and we will discuss a lesson plan for you, according to your needs and motivation. Then we will get to know each other and we will start working on the language.
LESSON TYPE:
