My teaching methodology considers the most recent studies on strategic and motivated learning, because I think that teachers should always be up-to-date on teaching techniques and they should have interdisciplinary skills. I believe that a solid base of grammar has to be built beside innovative and practical execises where communicative competence can be developed. I also take into account the cultural background of students as it has an important role as well as their language abilities. Finally, my lessons are also about culture and history, that are fundamental to learn Italian and Latin languages.
I'm from Italy, I studied Classics and I taught Latin and Greek in highschool. I am very passionate of classical culture and languages. I gave private lesson for many years and I have always managed to make my students love this subjects!
I don't have a car, so I can't travel to places not reachable by public services.
Cancellation term: 24 hours before lesson.
