Bio:
I am originally from Italy, I have done my studies in England and after graduation I decided to move to Spain for work and I ended up living in France. After working for several years in the tourism industry, being passionate about language learning, I decided to get the TEFL certificate in order to start a career as an English and Italian teacher. It has been two years since I have started teaching as a freelancer in different language schools and as a private tutor online and face-to-face.
My teaching methodology:
- Use of authentic materials (web articles, textbooks, audios from movies)
- Resources that cover current and interesting topics
- Role plays
- Effective conversation practice which enhance fluency
- Regular students' evaluation
- Grammar practice
My teaching background:
Before getting the certificate for teaching, as a complement and to finance my studies in England I already gave some Italian lessons to people who wanted to learn the language for pleasure. Since I got the TEFL certificate in 2021 I have started working as a freelancer in different language schools in the town where I now live in France and online. At the beginning I only taught English as there is more demand, being the most spoken language in the world. Then I started finding many students who wanted to learn Italian, being my mother tongue and one of the most beautiful languages of the world (in my opinion). I now teach online and face to face, teenagers and adults of all levels and all my classes are customized for my students, according to their interests, their learning style and their aims.
My background outside of teaching:
I was born in Sardinia, the second biggest island in Italy. After finishing high school I decided to go to UK to improve my English and to do my University studies there. I have studied Tourism Management at Bournemouth University, a course that lasts 4 years. During my studies I had the opportunity to do some internships abroad and I decided to go to the Canary Islands, to Mexico and to Spain, where I learned also Spanish. After my studies, I have travelled in Asia and South America for almost a year and I finally ended up in France, where I have been living since 2018.
