About Me
italki teacher since Apr 22, 2020Interest topicReadingArtFilms & TV SeriesWritingTravel
Ciao!😊I'm an Italian native speaker currently living in Liverpool (UK). My main goal is to enable you to reach your full potential while enjoying the process along the way. I’m very passionate about teaching Italian/English and I specialise in lesson for adults.
*break 27th Oct -3rd Nov* A presto! 😊
After graduating in Foreign Languages and Cultures, I moved to the UK and had different jobs. I worked as a customer service advisor, waitress, translator and public service interpreter. I now work as an Italian/English teacher and as a background artist for films!
♥ I love creative writing, painting, theatre, psychology, travelling, and fantasy books.Me as a Teacher
🎯 I aim to create a relaxed environment where the student can feel as comfortable as possible. You're welcome to ask me questions or ask me to reformulate. I take constructive feedback from the students on board. I do believe teaching is a two-way process. I am happy to adapt and customise our lessons based on your level and interests. Also, I can give tips on resources and I'll correct mistakes.
🎓 Qualifications. Bachelor's degree in Translation studies (Languages: English and French), a postgraduate certification in Interpreting and a CEDILS certificate (Teaching Italian as a foreign language certification). Regularly attending webinars to keep up to date with current research.My lessons & teaching style
TRAVEL, WORK AND PERSONAL INTEREST
After our first trial lesson, I'll get an idea of your level and plan our lessons accordingly. Depending on what you'd like to focus on, I can help you with your reading, listening, speaking or writing skills.
I take inspiration from several different approaches with a preference for the COMMUNICATIVE approach.
👉 RESOURCES: digital books, articles, files with role-plays, songs...
❔Any questions? Just get in touch!
PLEASE NOTE: I can ONLY accept CANCELLATION requests, if there is more than 24 hours before the lesson time begins. I cannot issue a refund, if there is less than 24 hours before the lesson time begins. Thank you.My teaching material

Ilaria is an excellent teacher. She is very patient when I make the same mistakes, and with that patience she corrects me until I stop making them. I like the structure and the feedback notes she given me at the end, so I have something to work on for the next lesson.

I couldn’t make the lesson as I was stuck in a traffic jam on the motorway but Ilaria exchanged messages and voice messages with me so that I was practicing my Italian conversation (and being gently corrected) for the whole lesson time. In the circumstances it was a very good lesson.
