Piacere di conoscerti :)

I’m Italian, from Padova and I lived in Auckland, New Zealand for 7 years.

I’m currently based in Italy, in Genova.

I’m a certified Italian teacher since 2008 and I’ve been holding online courses since 2015 when I moved to New Zealand.

Teaching Italian is not only my job: it’s my biggest passion.

 
 

I’ve obtained the best qualifications that attest you an advanced competence in didactics of Italian as a foreign language: after my degree in Italian Literature I obtained a Master in Italian for foreigners and a few years later a Master in Teaching Italian in e-learning.

My professional experience comprehends both children and adults of any level and background.

How I work

My teaching method is based on a communicative approach that allows the students to use the language since the beginner levels, to study with motivation and to improve gradually but constantly. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, I perfectly know how hard and challenging it can be to learn a new language and I will be very supportive.

During our online lessons we work in all the aspects of the language:

  • Speaking with fluency

  • Intonation and Pronunciation

  • Listening and writing

  • Vocabulary & Grammar

  • Body language as well!

What are we going to talk about?

I prepare my lessons using real Italian materials such as movies, book parts, songs, newspaper and magazine articles and anything may interest the student about italian culture: music, literature, art, food, Italian regions and whatever you like. I will give you homework so you can brush up what we have done together and keep going with practice.

The most important thing to me is that you find a moment of fun and relax. In this way, you will improve quickly and with no stress.
