Hello everybody! My name is Giada, I’m a professional Italian teacher since 2011 and I’ve been holding online lessons since 2015. Teaching Italian is not only my job, it’s my biggest passion! For this reason I obtained the best specialisations which attest to an advanced competence in didactics of Italian as a foreign language: - Dilit International House Diploma - Certification Ditals 2 awarded by the University for foreigners of Siena - 2nd level postgraduate Master Itals awarded by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, for which I wrote a thesis about e-learning. My professional experience comprehends children, adults and managers who study Italian for professional reasons. My teaching method is based on a comunicative approach, that allows the students to use actively the language since beginners level. You’re going to learn Italian with enthusiasm and motivation and every lesson you will improve and learn something new. We will work on all the aspects of the language: speaking, with pronunciation, fluency and intonation, listening, reading, grammar, vocabulary and everything you need! Moreover, If you are interested in Italian culture and art, I have a degree in History of Art and I will guide you through the wonders of Italy! I always try to customise my lessons, according on the needs and personalties of the students: in every lesson you’re finding something interesting and stimulating. We’re working with authentic materials, such as newspaper articles, movies and books extracts and anything that may interest you! I love using songs and games to go deeper in grammar or to learn new words, so if you like it too, we’re going to have great time together. The most important thing to me is that you find in my lessons a moment of fun and relax, to learn with no stress and to improve very quickly. If you want to learn Italian with a qualified teacher who loves her job, just go and book a first trial lesson with me!

Hi! I'm Roberta, I'm from Gorla Minore, a small city near Milan. I'm attending the second year of Master degree in Mathematical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. I really like languages, in fact I can speak very well French, English and Spanish. I've been an online student since a while, so I know how a lecture works. I think that the best way to learn a language is concentrating mainly onto the speaking part, so during my lessons we'll talk a lot about different topics. In fact I have a lot of interests, such as watching movies and TV series, reading books, Math, travelling and discovering new cultures and people; so we'll have a lot of things we can talk about together and you'll enrich your vocabulary. I'm looking forward to talking to you!! See you soon :)

Ciao! My name is Giorgia, I come from Rome and I am an experienced Italian teacher. I have a degree in Italian Literature and Linguistics and together we will discover the beauty and the secrets of this fascinating language. My background: I studied Latin and Ancient Greek in high school, which is when my passion for etymology started! I graduated from Roma Tre University in Italian Literature and Linguistics. During the BA I won the Erasmus scholarship to study in the UK for a year. While in England, I also taught the Italian language to Beginner and Intermediate university students. I got my MA in Applied Linguistics from UCL. I attended the DITALS course to qualify as a teacher of Italian as a foreign language. I have just finished the MPhil in General Linguistics and Comparative Philology at Oxford Universit. I have thought Italian online for a couple of years now. *** Teaching philosophy: Teaching, to me, is not only a job, but it's also a genuine passion (as cliche as it may sound!). I have so much fun designing the material and it's a pure joy being able to help you reach your goals. I personally believe that teaching is a service, not a favour. Therefore, I take this job humbly and enthusiastically. My main goal is that the lesson represents an hour of your day where you can escape and virtually travel to a different reality. This is how I felt when studying English and I hope you'll feel the same when studying Italian with me. *** Why study Italian with me? I live and breathe the Italian language. I not only teach the language but I am actively learning something about it myself every single day (linguist issues eheh). Italian may seem quite intimidating at first but we can break it down together and you’ll soon realise that with the right method nothing is impossible. My approach changes whether I am dealing with a beginner or an intermediate/advance student. I like to help beginners build a foundation first. I am a grammar enthusiast and I like to teach it in a way that makes sense to the student. Once you know hoe the language works then you're build up from there! Once the foundation is laid, I adopt a communicative and inductive approach. I will first show you the language in use and then from there we can make sense of it together. I am very accomodating and will try my best to tailor the lessons to your needs whether it is studying the language from scratch or having to improve your speaking or writing skills. *** What materials will be used? The course is designed following a textbook and with the adoption of some additional, original material. The lessons will be conducted using PowerPoint presentations through the screen-sharing. I am an easy-going, friendly and reliable teacher but I expect commitment and seriousness from my students. We’re here to have fun together but also to respect each other’s time. I look forward to meeting you all and starting to learn some Italian! Request your first trial and get ready to visit Italy soon!

I like my lessons to be fun, for this reason - apart from informal conversation - I usually work with Italian songs, newspaper articles, comics and bits of novels. Recently, I've started dictation exercises with students with difficulties in oral comprehension. This is especially the case of English speakers, as "i", "e", "a", "ch" etc. may be confusing when learning Italian. Writing what I dictate results useful as one has to focus on what is really being said. This is also a way to learn to write correctly. I'll correct your pronunciation and ask for your personal opinion about what we read. We can discuss what we will talk about lesson by lesson, so that I can prepare vocabulary and useful expressions for you. I can suggest you films and videos depending on your level - they're a great way to learn and have fun. I use an online notebook that is personal for every student and that will help you keep track of what we did during the previous class. My students will also have the opportunity to work with me on the textbook Qua e là per l'Italia, Alma Edizioni. Divided in 20 chapters, the book helps intermediate learners reach an advanced level while learning facts and traditions about each of the 20 Italian regions. During or before each class, you'll get from me copies of the book, which we'll use work on together. The book includes plenty of exercises you can also work on individually. Just let me know if you'd like to work on Qua e là per l'Italia! ___ Besides that, a new episode of my podcast on speaktravelitalian.com goes online on Sundays. Give it a chance!
