I am a 25-year-old Italian girl with a passion for languages and travel. I graduated from the linguistic high school in Spoleto (Italy) in 2016, I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Bologna in 2019 and then a Master's degree in Rome in 2023. I lived in Germany for 6 months in 2018 and currently live in Ireland since November 2022. I am interested in many things, books, travel, politics, history and art history.
Qualifications & Experience
I majored in Arabic and German but I am also fluent in English and am studying French as well. I have been giving Italian lessons for two years now, to adult students, migrants and children. All the language learning experience I have accumulated in my personal history gives me the ability to recognise and interpret the needs of different types of students, trying to create specific exercises. Furthermore, in order to improve my teaching method I am currently studying to take the CEDILS exam, which offers the necessary tools and theories to be able to teach Italian to foreigners.
Teaching Approach
My teaching method is obviously not only based on grammar but on the development of all language skills (oral and written production, listening and reading) through both classic and more fun exercises such as songs, cooking lessons, and roleplay. I can also create tailor-made lessons according to my students' requests. During the class, students will focus on conversation, but will also work on grammar, always taking into account their personal goals and needs. Practical vocabulary and grammar are always presented in the context of real situations. During the first lesson, we will find out your level, your motivation and your goals so that we can adapt each lesson to your needs. We will then put you in a real-life situations and practise vocabulary, expressions and grammar through conversation and role-play to apply what you have learnt.
