Ilaria Marazzina

Bio:

Hi everyone! My name's Ilaria, and I'm a bilingual, professional English and Italian teacher, who has been working in language education for over 9 years. I was born in Italy but moved to the UK at age 6, and lived and worked in both countries. I studied Linguistics and Cultural Mediation at the University of Milan and later took a Mater's degree in Multilingualism at the University of Oslo, Norway. I passed my CELTA teacher qualification in Oxford in 2015 and have been teaching ever since!

My teaching methodology:

My teaching background:

Throughout my work, I have accumulated vast experience helping learners of all ages (5 -18+) and levels (A1 beginner - C2 fluent) achieve their language learning goals. For example, I offer: 🌍 General English or Italian. 💼 Business English. ✍️ Exam preparation for Cambridge MOVERS, FLYERS, KET, PET, FIRST, ADVANCED & PROFICIENCY; plus the IELTS, TOEFL, STANAG, and OET tests. 💬 Job & University interview practice. ✅ Proofreading & corrections. 📚 Essay writing & homework help. I believe that learning should be both stimulating /and/ fun, and I always strive to make my lessons dynamic and engaging. I am confident I can help you with your language learning needs, so feel free to send me a message!

My background outside of teaching:

Coming from a multicultural background is what first led me to study languages and begin my career as a teacher. I've never stopped being a language student myself, so this helps me keep in mind my own students' perspectives and pushes me to always try and find better ways to teach.
