About Me
Welcome everyone, benvenuti, soyez les bienvenus :-)
I hold a Master's degree in ITALIAN and FRENCH Language and Culture with a teaching certificate. I worked as a classroom teacher for ten years and I have now been teaching online for several years - and I am so happy to be able to do it because I live between three countries and my students move a lot too!
I use various teaching methods and materials depending on YOUR needs. I can help you learn Italian or French from the very beginner level, we can work on your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation - excellent pronunciation is crucial if you want to make yourself understood. I can provide you with a rich material that will keep you engaged and will give you plenty of information about the cultures you wish to know. Especially Italian can be TRICKY: it seems you can say things in many ways and rules are quite loose but then you can end up FARE UNA FIGURACCIA (making a fool of yourself) even with such simple tools like the -ino/-etto suffixes that indicate smallness: you might ask for un vasINO di yogurt (a POTTY full of yoghurt) instead of un vasETTO di yogurt (a POT of yoghurt) at the grocery store :-D (Just try and google vasino and vasetto images and you'll see!)
I also love giving CONVERSATION classes where you can express yourself on various topics that we prepare ahead using textbook material, newspaper articles, videos, movies, songs and so on. During these classes I always look for teachable moments, I always correct you and do not let you get away with anything.
So if you are determined to learn Italian or French or you wish to improve your Italian or French Language Skills, and you are looking for a teacher who offer fun and informative classes I hope you will contact me, and give me an opportunity to help you achieve your goals.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Please kindly note that my classes last 55 minutes.
