ITALIAN classes with native speaker with 5 years of experience and a degree in foreign languages

I started teaching Italian as a foreign language pretty young as a volunteer for a project aiming to teach Italian to refugees and I have been teaching ever since, meeting dozens of international students and helping them reach their goals.

I have studied methods and techniques to teach Italian as a foreign language and I also have a degree in languages, and I am currently specializing in international communication.

In the first meeting, I usually like to CONSULT with the students to discuss what they like and dislike, how they learn best and how to keep their concentration, so that I can TAILOR THE CLASS TO SUIT THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
I also tend to let the students speak freely, or analyse with them a source they have studied before, or a similar one, so that I can understand the level they are at and what we will need to concentrate on.

Usually I find that the students learn best when they study DIFFERENT SOURCES and materials TARGETING THEIR INTERESTS AND GOALS.
If the language level allows, I like to give explanations in Italian, so that the student is FULLY IMMERSED in the language.
Otherwise, if the student is a beginner or has doubts, I can easily provide explanations in English, French and German.

When we do not have class, the students are usually required to REVISE or do some HOMEWORK (always tailored to their individual needs) so that they use their time effectively to strenghten what was previously learnt.

I teach to students of ANY AGE AND BACKGROUND.

Can't wait to meet you!
