I have been giving private lessons for 8 years and I have trained about 25 students who passed the exams brilliantly (overseas students graduated in Italy). The key to my lessons is to be patient and be funny talking about each topic and in any circumstance.
I use all my AUTHENTIC material. Made with my hands and BY the new technology. I have tools through which I create flashcards, I have videos, records, magazines,...so anything can be useful FOR THE STUDENT TO LEARN WITH FUN!!!!! I do my best to let the student feel comfortable, I incite my STUDENTS to study and to be happy during the lesson.
Ciao! I have taught Italian in Paris for a whole year and Spanish and English for a few months when I was in Italy. I love languages and I always strive to learn new ones - I am currently working on my Polish. I believe that once you start learning a language that will be your oyster to travel through cultures and not only countries.
Since I am a native speaker, I can give Italian lessons for different levels, from basic to advanced. I would prefer to have a lesson English-free, only Italian admitted from the second-third lesson on (depending on the level of the student). I can help with speaking, listening, reading and Italian grammar.
Throughout my classes I always communicate in Italian even with beginners as I find this helps improve comprehension the best (I resort to English only when needed). I like to build a professional and friendly rapport with my students and like to build my lessons around their interests and needs.
My main method is letting go of the academic and learn the actual language Italians speak everyday on the workplace and in their daily life. Many books I have been dealing with presented a fake language, which foreign students are seldom made fun of. This does apply to every language. In fact, I found this to be the case in my experience with English and Mandarin too.
The methodology depends on the reason/objective of the student of studying another language. I'm likely to use books for a bit of grammar and tests and videos for oral comprehension. Lessons can be a mix of both but I'm happy to adjust to the student's needs. Please be mindful that I do have a full time career and I’d like to be able to offer tuitions in my spare time.
My teaching method will be tailored on the needs of each individual/group. I will start by listening to you and assessing what is needed and what you would like to achieve by attending my lessons. I will then set your expectations realistically using the SMART methodology. We will keep track of your progress together and adjust the course of action as required.
My classes will be focused in listening,speaking and writing, I will make a lot of notes for the students so that they can use it at home and practise,I will explain in an easy way the italian grammar, and we'll focus in italian conversation.
I privilege a personal approach to language tuition resulting in an enjoyable experience that is relevant to each student's interests. Lessons cover conversation, culture, grammar and daily life situations. Each lesson naturally progresses onto the next. They match ability and consist of a variety of activities to learn new material and reinforce that which has already been taught.
Studying a foreign language is a way to think differently and to put ourselves in someone else's shoes. This is why my lessons are highly focused on Italian culture and society, providing the student with lively and real life examples. I do not ignore the importance of grammar, but I teach it in an interactive and engaging way. I am confident with 1.
As a tutor I prefer to mix my methodology to meet the needs of every student. Everyone is welcome no matter their degree/level of knowledge. I create specific lesson plans tailored to the demands and needs of individual students or small groups. Furthermore, I tend to track student progress and present the information to parents, create tests, prepare students for standardised tests.
My teaching method could be considered an immersive approach full of practical examples to involve students in an Italian lesson that is not restricted only to the main grammar of the language.
I base my classes on conversation. I teach the basics of Italian grammars as the conversation goes on. I will then fix the information learnt with writing and reading lessons. I encourage my students to carry a notebook that we will fill in together as a vocabulary as we go on, with both words and expressions used in the everyday life.
Thanks to my experience I am actually able now to offer Italian lessons at all levels. I am reliable, easy going, organised and I try to make sessions interesting and constructive in order to let my students reach their potential as easily as possible.
In a nut shell, I am educated to PhD level. I am an intellectual historian. I also hold a master's degree in Translation and another in Environmental Studies. I have a PGCE in MFL and a BA in Italian Studies. I have taught around the world and as such, I have been exposed to different and differing people from all walks of life.
My teaching method variates depending on the student desire. It can be very practical, with just conversation and reading/writing comprehension, but if needed I can also give grammar lessons. I try to make the lessons fun and entertaining. I am very flexible and I can accommodate all student requests. We can schedule together a plan and modify it along the way.
I think the best method to learn a language is to read and watch films in it in order to acquire the vocabulary and learn the pronunciation then write in it and have conversation in order to have perfect grammar and to practice
The Direct Method In this method the teaching is done entirely in the target language. The learner is not allowed to use his or her mother tongue. Grammar rules are avoided and there is emphasis on good pronunciation. Grammar-translation Learning is largely by translation to and from the target language. Grammar rules are to be memorized and long lists of vocabulary learned by heart.
With a communicative and student-centered style, I like to tailor my lessons based on my students’ needs and interests, giving a complete overview on all aspects of learning: pronunciation, listening, speaking, reading and writing. I strongly believe that there is no such thing as a “definitive method” to learn a language, and I am sure that anyone can find their own way to do it.
I try to create a tailor-made cours for the student, because everyone has different needs. I prefer teaching the grammar by listening some dialogues or by reading stories. If the lessons is on Skype, I use Google doc, because it allows the student to see in real time what I'm writing and vice-versa.
I am open to giving lessons to all ages. I will tailor lessons to your needs, so I will need to know your level of Italian and what your goals are. If your goal is to simply practice talking, as you are of an intermediate to advanced level, I am also able to create conversation-stimulating sessions.
I am energetic, clean, tidy, respectful with a big smile all the time! I can either make the learning hours fun and playful or simply more serious.
Italian is a rather complicated language, but it's not impossible! Whether it is in preparation for a holiday in the sun or a University course, my lessons will give my students the ability to learn the basics of conversational Italian in just a few weeks. My lessons are structured in two parts: reading/writing and conversation.
I use modern techniques for teaching. Teaching a language is not just about the grammar and I always try to make my students speak as much as possible during my lessons. The final goal is learning to communicate with othe people.
I firmly believe that the best way to learn languages is by communication and immersion in the culture of the country from which the language derives, and for this reason, my lessons focus both on speaking and literature on culture, providing a well-rounded approach to language.
I’m an enthusiastic individual, and I believe that to learn one has to be both disciplined and passionate about what they do.
I based my lessons on a comunicative approach. It emphasizes the learner’s ability to communicate various functions, such as asking and answering questions, making requests, describing, narrating and comparing. task assignment and problem solving are the means through which the communicative approach operates, two key components of critical thinking.
I am extremely passionate about languages and I want to share this with High School Students in order for them to understand the important of languages and how fun they can be to learn! I really want to use my language skills to help pupils succeed in their exams.
