Giulia Gamba

I am an experienced, creative and energetic Italian L2 teacher in France. Mothertongue Italian, C1 in English, French and with a very good level of Spanish and an insane passion for culture in all its aspects. I am also able to teach Latin and Classical Civilisation.

After obtaining a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages at the University of Bristol, from 2015 to 2018 I have been Languages and Humanities teacher in a secondary school in London.

Skilled at communicating and developing relationships with students and their families, I have also developped knowledge of teaching young people who suffered complex trauma.

After my honours MSc degree in Art History in 2012, I have worked in the cultural sector for art galleries and art companies for a year.
Therefore, I love to link the learning of a language to its culture and make my students have a complete and well rounded experience of learning.

I like my lessons to be varied not only in terms of supports (videos, songs, literature, professional papers when needed), but also in terms of drilling activities (interactive games for instance).

Regarding my methodology, during my Education Master at Sorbonne University (Paris) I was formed at the "action-oriented approach" which refuses the frontal lesson approach in favour of a stronger participation of the student. This implies making the students the leaders of their own learning rather than just passive listeners.

I believe that my lessons will be a pleasant journey towards a strong end effective learning of a language.
