Ciao a tutti! My name is Laura and I am a freelance Italian teacher and translator based in Berlin. I come from Bari - a small town in... southern Italy - where I graduated in foreign languages and literature before coming to Berlin four years ago. As a linguist and lover of the Italian language, I immediately tried teaching Italian, and I can definitely say that it was a successful idea :) Me and my student we´ll deal with different kind of communicative situations and I´ll give them the opportunity to talk as much as he can in order to have the closest approach to the language. During my years of teaching I noticed how often some linguistic skills are trained more than others/are preferred over others, giving less space to first and closest linguistic experience that certainly occurs with the speaking. This is the reason why my teaching method wanted to experience a change of course, that focused exactly on the student´s ability of speaking till the final analyze of the conversation from a lexical and grammatical point of view. For the basic levels we start from the very first forms of conversation and speaking exercise, such as self presentation, describing an object or talking about one's hobbies or favourite book, with the grammar and vocabulary involved. Once the student acquires a primary familiarity with the language, I´d let the student keep training with more speaking exercises, first with communicative situations in which we come across daily like ordering something in a bar, asking for directions or organizing a weekend out ´til he/she´ll able to express his/her opinion and to have pure and free conversation on various topics, such as nature, technology, the academic and working world, telling about his/her travels or even on actual world news. On request I can even provide material on our funny dialectal forms, different from region to region :) I´d be happy to support you in this learning challenge. Hope to hear back from you soon! Sincerely, Laura Read more

Ciao everyone, I'm Arianna, I'm 29 years old and I live in Berlin! In March 2020 I graduated with honors in "Italian Language and Culture for... Foreigners" (master course at the University of Bologna). I have been teaching Italian to foreigners for 2 years, first in Italy and now in Berlin, where I have been living for a few months. In addition to the Italian language, I have a C1 in English and German, which I teach regularly in public schools. My teaching methods are focussed on the student and his/her needs, in line with the latest teaching guidelines. I use a communicative approach, based on the use of the language in a given context, from which I gradually extrapolate the grammatical rules (in an inductive way). This allows me to create a relaxed environment, without stress or anxiety, where the student is free to enjoy learning in a comfortable and useful way. The materials I prefer are of all kinds, authentic or not, videos, lyrics, songs, articles, games, but in general I follow a textbook to ensure logical continuity to the learning path. The materials are provided by me! Teaching is one of the real passions of my life, what makes me feel fulfilled is helping the student to achieve his or her goals, whatever they may be. Read more

This the best way to get students to express themselves and makes learning more interesting.

Whatever the approach there will always be plenty of error correction during class.

I have a PhD in comparative literature from the University of Texas at Austin. I have years of experience teaching language and literature... courses at the university level. Additionally, I have experience teaching ESL through literature to middle school and high school students online and I am TEFL certified. I believe that language learning is important and that to do so you need to find a "hook" into the language. To that end I like to use to multiple forms of culture from the target language such as film, literature, art, photos, games and music to teach grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure and other essentials of the language. Learning a new language is challenging, but I also believe that it should be fun. By engaging different types of learners with different and enjoyable learning activities, the process of learning a language can be enjoyable and rewarding. Read more
