My lessons are personalized, highly structured and deliberately improvised. In my 20 year experience and studies I’ve been collecting methods, materials and strategies that match the students’ needs and styles of learning at all levels: starting from scratch, improving their performance, preparing exams and practicing cross-cultural communication. The evaluation process and error treatment will be cooperative within a frame of consciously planned learning pattern.
Mis lecciones son personalizadas, oscilan entre estructura e improvisación en el marco de un proyecto de enseñanza consciente, pensado y en progreso, que puedo gestionar y adaptar gracias a mis 20 años de experiencia y estudios.

Me as a Teacher
Studying a language is a very creative process, since it is about combining the elements you learn in always new ways. It is an adventure in which both creativity and control are practiced, a continuous discovery that involves constant self-improvement and broadens capacities, horizons and possibilities.
Estudiar un idioma es un proceso muy creativo, es combinar los elementos aprendidos en formas siempre nuevas. Es una aventura en la que se practica tanto la creatividad como el control, un descubrimiento continuo que implica una constante superación de sí mismo.
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons will be handled trhough a wide range of both authentic and didactic material taken from different generations of Italian language books, youtube channels, how-to videos, articles, interviews, ads and jokes according to the students’ interests and mood. Rules, vocabulary and patterns of learnigs will be derived from any kind of material, by using grammar cathegories or avoiding them. As far as the preparation of exams is concerned, several tecniques and strategies will be pointed out in order to make the students demonstrate the proficiency that is required in each different level, with special attencion to the written and oral sections.

Valeria is flexible and creative. Like a fine jazz player, she knows how to follow a plan and to improvise too.
