About Me

CIAO! 🇮🇹

-Sono un insegnante di italiano per stranieri e un insegnante di inglese per italiani.

-Insegno da dieci anni, online e di persona.

-Insegno a studenti di qualsiasi livello, dal beginner assoluto fino allo studente con un livello di italiano molto avanzato.

-Ho esperienza con studenti di tutte le età, dai bambini, agli adolescenti fino agli adulti.

-Nel corso di questi anni, ho avuto studenti di molte nazionalità, ma principalmente studenti di madrelingua inglese quindi conosco perfettamente le difficoltà che incontrano nell’imparare italiano.

-Sono fondatrice del podcast Italiando Storie, credo molto nello storytelling come strumento di apprendimento.

-Credo anche nel metodo dell’input comprensibile. Se non sai che cos’è, trovi in descrizione un video in cui lo spiego meglio.

-Credo fermamente che il compito di un bravo insegnante sia quello di essere :

1.una guida

2.un facilitatore (rendere argomenti complessi il più semplice possibile)

3.un motivatore

4.e in parte un buon amico con cui parlare.

Non è sempre un gioco da ragazzi, ma faccio del mio meglio e lo faccio da molti anni.

Non voglio annoiarmi a lezione e non voglio fare annoiare gli studenti: nelle mie lezioni facciamo molte attività divertenti, e mettiamo in pratica la lingua attraverso giochi, roleplay e belle chiacchierate.

La maggior parte dei materiali che uso a lezione sono creati da me e mi piace utilizzare contenuti reali non solo contenuti pensati specificatamente per studenti di italiano.

Credo di aver detto tutto. Ti aspetto a lezione! Per qualsiasi domanda io sono qui, ciao!

Spero di vedervi presto per condividere assieme la passione per la mia lingua madre: l'italiano. CIAO!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm Silvia, an Italian teacher for students of Italian as a second language and an English teacher for Italians.

I have been teaching for ten years, online and in person.

I teach students of any level, from absolute beginners to students with a very advanced level of Italian.

I have experience with students of all ages, from children to teenagers to adults.

Over these years, I have had students of many nationalities, but mainly native English speakers so I know the difficulties you may come across in learning Italian.

I am the founder of the Italiando Storie podcast, I strongly believe in storytelling as a learning tool.
You can listen to it here https://open.spotify.com/show/3A9U8AIAZmrNLblDRr71rR

I also believe in the comprehensible input method, that is, providing the student with understandable information (even for a beginner starting from scratch) thanks to the context.

I firmly believe that the job of a good teacher is to be

-a guide

-a facilitator (make complex topics as simple as possible)

-a motivator

-and partly a good friend to talk to.

It's not always a piece of cake, but I try my best and have done so for many years.

I don't want to be bored in lessons and I don't want to make the students bored: in my lessons we do many fun activities, and we put the language into practice through games, roleplays and good chats.

Most of the materials I use in lessons are created by me and I like to use real content not just content designed specifically for students of Italian as second language.

I think I've said it all. I'll wait for you in class! For any questions I'm here, ciao ciao!

I really like Silvia! She is very sweet and helpful with my pronunciation and grammar, and knows so many languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese). She has an upbeat personality and I found speaking with her to be very enjoyable. In general, some teachers you encounter in life are very intimidating, but Silvia was incredibly approachable, and I felt comfortable making mistakes and being corrected by her.

Silvia is an excellent teacher. I was looking for someone encouraging, skilled and patient and Silvia scores high on all counts! She is always on time and prepared. There's no doubt that she puts in extra effort for her students. The lessons are fun and the conversation is great. My improved Italian skills are proof!
