About Me
italki teacher since Jul 10, 2020Me as a Teacher
I'm a certified Italian teacher for foreigners and I started with private lessons both online and in presence. So far, my students have expressed satisfaction about my lessons, because I'm flexible in my schedule and very focused on their goals.
In my lessons, I follow an inductive methodology, which means that, as a guide in the learning process of the students, I help them to discover by themselves the rules that govern the various linguistic aspects. I think that this methodology is much more effective than other more traditional methods, since it allows better internalize what has been learned.My lessons & teaching style
My method is preferably communicative, since I believe that the best way of learning a language is to practice it. However, I customize my teaching method according to the needs and the goals of every single student. I can propose a teaching plan oriented to a specific Italian exam or to improve the conversation skills, and so on.
I usually start form an input, which can be a text, an audio or a video, better if authentic. In this input there are one or more aspects of the Italian language that I want my student to learn and understand. We will do conversation and exercises about the topic, and I will be as a guide for the student during the learning process.My teaching material
