About Me
italki teacher since Jul 16, 2021Me as a Teacher
I am a very patient and easy-going teacher. In my class mistakes are very welcomed because only through them, we can learn in life. I adapt my teaching to the student because everyone is unique, the learner has his own tempo and there are different types of learners like auditive, visual and kinesthetic ones. First, I want to know the student better, what he likes and then I will design the perfect lesson for him or her where boredom will be just an old memory.My lessons & teaching style
Grammar is important but it is not the goal of a lesson, the goal is that you can speak German, grammar must help you to master that. I work with “Redewendungen”, these are chunks that allow you to be fluent and speak like a native speaker. Learning grammar is a cognitive process, Redewendungen belong to a metacognitive process, I mean that you will learn to use them without thinking about them, it will happen automatically. All the aspects or learning a language are present in my class: reading, writing, hearing, speaking, pronunciation, melody in a sentence, intonation. You will decide what kind of lesson you are going to have, learning a language must be fun.My teaching material

Education
2020 - 2021
Bachelor’s - DLL (Deutsch Lehren Lernen)I have studied music (piano and composition) and I work as a composer writing music for movies, video games and theater plays. Languages were also my passion, I have been teaching German since many years and my students were always happy with my methods. I thought I just needed a title to look more qualified and that's why I worked hard to get this certificate give to me by the Goethe Institute, the most accredited institution for German language. Teaching is my job and passion.

Luca is an outstanding German teacher. What truly stands out about Luca is the dedication he puts into preparing the lessons. He always shares useful materials (articles or news) on topics relevant to the student well in advance of the lesson. This approach makes the lessons highly effective, with new and useful vocabulary, corrections, and several inputs to facilitate in the best way the conversation. Besides this, he is also calm and patient, while focused on your specific needs as a german student. I look forward to taking more lessons with Luca.
