About Me
italki teacher since Jul 15, 2020Interest topicFoodArtReading
Hey there! My name is Andrea, and I am a language teacher. I have an MA cum laude in English and Anglo-American Studies and a BA in Modern Languages and Literature.
I have a 4 years' experience as an Italian Language teacher both online and in presence, including at prestigious institutions such as the University of Manchester and the University of California. In my free time I love reading, cooking, and visiting new places.
Rules:
- Classes will be held on Google Meet
- Italki is my part-time occupation: if you can't find a slot, it means that I'm not available that time or have other classes
- No show = no refundMe as a Teacher
I am a teacher who enjoys challenging students and get the best out of them with the methodologies best suited to their needs. I am very careful in looking for the best materials to ensure my students have all of what they need to make progress in their language learning and to move step by step to reach fluency and accuracy. I also strive to make lessons not only effective but pleasant and fun, both for me as a teacher and for the students, above all! :)My lessons & teaching style
My teaching method is based on the communicative approach and is strongly task-based and meaning-based. I am not a fan of teaching decontextualised grammar but I do believe in putting grammar into context with meaningful examples from written and spoken texts the more authentic as possible. Each of my classes is based in fact on a document, a text, video, topic or picture which suits the students' levels and needs and which contains new words or grammar rules. After having explained that new vocabulary or rule, I usually build several exercises and activities, ranging from grammar to writing compositions, speaking tasks in which students apply those same words and rules explained before.My teaching material

Grazie ad Andrea e la sua preparazione meticolosa alle lezioni, ho superato l’esame CILS del livello C1. È stato un percorso lungo, ma il resultato è davvero gratificante. Andrea ha evidenziato i miei punti deboli per poi concentrare sulle strategie di migliorarli. Durante l’esame mi sentivo tranquilla e ben preparata.

Andrea è un insegnante meraviglioso. Ho avuto lezioni con lui da gennaio e mi sono divertita ognuna. Ho imparato non solo la grammatica, il vocabolario, ecc., ma anche aspetti della cultura del paese che prima non conoscevo. Inutile dire che il mio italiano è migliorato in modo esponenziale e ora sono in grado di portare avanti una conversazione.

During the first lesson Andrea put me at ease and gave an outline toward success in his class. I feel good about working with him.
