Qualified native speaker teacher with experience

Italian teacher

Certified Italian teacher

I am an English (ESL) and Italian (ISL) teacher working at a multinational company operating in the language learning market, with training... centers all over the world. I have earned a Master's Degree in Pedagogy from the Faculty of Education at the University of Bologna and I have several years of experience in education, working in different fields and holding various positions, such as school tutor, pedagogue, and teacher at a language learning center, working with adults (e.g. Corporate/Business English) and children/teenagers at public/private schools (from pre-school to high school). I have also studied in France (Universitè Paris X), USA (Vassar College, NY), experiences that have led me to have a high command of English and French. During my university years, I also participated in pedagogical research projects abroad, in particular in Sweden and New York, to study different educational approaches with pre-school children. Thanks to these experiences I have developed a pedagogical method that can be adapted to the specific needs of adults and children, helping them to find the learning method that best suits their necessities. My methodology is based on learning by doing, i.e. learning through action: the student is placed in the center of the learning process, in a context in which they will be led to put into practice the skills they have acquired, even in the case of beginners, through a real immersion in the English/Italian language. Lessons are conducted entirely in English to allow the students to strengthen their speaking, reading, and listening comprehension skills since the very beginning of the course. My lessons are tailored to the specific needs of the students and the material I use is diverse, stimulating, and interactive. I use Cambridge material, especially for the preparation of certifications, as well as online resources such as articles from international newspapers, and multimedia material including videos and interactive games.

Hi there, my name is Roberta. I am an Italian native speaker, and a professional language teacher with a DITALS II certification from Siena... University. I live in Italy in a lovely little town called Monate near a small lake of the same name, just 40 minutes by car from Milan. The aim of the lessons will not be learning generic Italian but to learn Italian according to the needs of every student. Each lesson will be personalized and designed to match students’ interests, linguistic level and learning style.Every lesson will be planned around a text, which could either be a written piece, an audio segment or a video that will be used as a focal point for both communication and grammatical study. I will provide students with all of the teaching materials used in class that can later be used for homework and self – study, especially for developing writing skills. I have been working as an Italian teacher since 2016, offering both traditional and e-learning/online classes. I am specialized at teaching young people and adults who want to study Italian for a variety of different reasons: work, education, residency or simply for a love of Italy and its culture.Finally, as a result of my volunteer position as a documents advisor for immigrants, I can help students to prepare for the B1 level Italian language exam, which is necessary to apply for Italian citizenship.

About me Ciao! My name is Andrea and I am a native Italian with years of Italian language teaching experience, graduated from University of... Rome.  I lived in London and Los Angeles for several years. Then I attended courses for teaching Italian as a second language. I have been teaching Italian language to foreigners for 4 years and it has been very satisfying so far.  Qualifications & Experience Since I was attending primary school until I graduated from University I have always studied both Italian and English languages. After University I continued my studies attending courses for becoming a professional teacher of Italian as a foreign language and then started to work as a teacher abroad in London and LA. Today I am teaching mostly online, I really like this way of working: technology gave me the opportunity to reach all of my students living in different countries and continents. I love my job and I am passionate about it. I teach Italian language to foreigners and it has been very satisfying so far. I give online lessons and also in person when the student lives in my own city, the beautiful Rome. I currently have many students who come from different countries like Netherlands, Brazil, USA, Russia, Poland, France, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Scotland, Switzerland, Ukraine, Belgium, Israel etc. Students who attend my courses work at professional level in ESA, FAO, UN here in Rome. Students who live abroad of Italy are doctors, smart entrepreneurs, artists, writers or very good and young students. They all need to learn Italian for both private / professional reasons. I am highly qualified for improving your pronunciation, public speaking and oratory skills since I attended diction courses for longer than 5 years. My students are the first to show me gratitude for the good results and improvements they achieve attending the course. They tell me enthusiastically about the successes achieved both at work and in private-daily life by learning the Italian language with me.  Teaching Approach I always try to understand what kind of student I have in front of me, where he/she comes from and his/her age. The way I teach to kids is different than the way I use to teach to adults. I always try to meet the student's needs, guiding him/her gently. If the student needs to know more grammar I start my lessons teaching more rules, following a Structural approach: this means that I would start teaching the language as a complex of grammatical rules which are to be learned one at a time in a set order. Along with that it is possible to do some grammar translations to and from the target language and to practice some Audio - Lingual method (learning through the practice of dialogues of every situations). Only after all this I push the student towards a Direct method, that means that it is possible only to use the target language: the teacher explains everything using the target language only and the learner is not allowed to use his or her mother tongue.  When the student starts to speak fluently I like to focus more on the pronunciation, about the way he/she sounds practising with the student more conversation, analyzing his/her fluency, mental blocks or mispronunciation. The student has to sound as natural as possible after few months.   Read more

Hello everyone, My name is Ilaria, I am 30 years old, I have a post-graduate Master in Linguistic Education at the Ca'Foscari University of... Venice. I currently teach Italian to foreigners online. I gained numerous experiences abroad, I volunteered for one year in Romania, then I worked for two years in Bucharest and two in Ireland in the field of customer service for international companies. I am a native speaker of Italian but I speak fluent English, Romanian and French. I currently live in Bologna. I also love fitness, sitcoms, social media (memes are my passion) and, when the crown allows it, travel. Can't wait to hear from you! Do not hesitate to send me a message if you would like to be guided in your process of learning my beautiful language. I have a CEDILS certification. In the first lesson I try to get an impression of the students, their attitude, cognitive style, needs, level of exposure to the language, motivation etc. I try an inductive - conversational approach first, I plan every lesson and I provide the student with a Google Drive file, anticipating contents and activities.Mostly I tend to work on what it's best for the students (ex. some of them prefer learning tables with grammar rules, verbs etc by heart, I make them understand that this is not considered the fastest nor most efficient way generally, but if it works for them I encourage it). I always try to make them capable of learn by their own and I want them to see me as a facilitator, a guide, not "the person who owns the knowledge". I keep my students focused by constantly stimulating them, asking questions, asking them to share thoughts and formulate hypotheses. Also I always provide explanations for what I do, why I do it in a certain way and at a certain time. I also use a manual. I often propose topics related to intercultural themes, news, environment, LGBT+ but also tv series, movies and so on, I discuss with students what they'd like to work on and I find or create from scratch activities for them.

WHO AM I? My name is Andrea Polverini and I would like to give you some information about myself on a personal and professional level. I... have been working as an English teacher since 1998 and as an Italian teacher since 2004. Since 2009, I have been working as a translator. I graduated in English philology (University of Pisa) and later specialised in audiovisual translation (University of Surrey). From an educational point of view, I trained through courses for English teachers such as the CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages - Cambridge Assessment English) and the DELTA (Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages - Cambridge Assessment - Module 1). I have lived and worked in countries such as the United Kingdom, Venezuela, Ireland and currently reside in Spain. I am passionate about foreign languages. In addition to English and Spanish, which I currently work with, I continue to study and practice other languages such as French, Catalan and German. My more than 15 years of experience teaching Italian and English to students of different nationalities, ages and levels have given me the opportunity to reflect on my role as a foreign language teacher and to evolve into a coach. More than a transmitter of knowledge, I want to be a travelling companion for my clients, with whom I can discover the most suitable path for each of them towards their personalised language goals. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ONE OF MY ITALIAN SESSIONS? We are all different human beings, with different personalities, feelings and a unique brain. In a relaxed atmosphere conducive to the learning process, I will guide you by respecting your personality and help you take full responsibility for the learning process. It will be up to you to help me set your goals as accurately as possible from the test session. Your progress, as far as possible, will be measured. Your goals and progress will be reviewed periodically. Motivation will be the key to your commitment to your learning. I can only help you find your motivation, but I cannot give it to you. For your learning to be effective, you must already have it within you. You will bear the weight of the work, because the one who does, learns. I will only serve as a guide. The sessions will take place without any pressure and in an atmosphere of complete relaxation. This will help you get rid of any internal blocks that would be an obstacle to the development of your language skills. Your memory will be stimulated through positive emotions and regular review. During the sessions, you will always receive feedback from me, but in a way that interferes as little as possible with the conversation. Your curiosity will be encouraged through the use of material that is relevant to you, with open-ended questions and allowing you time to respond, without trying to finish your sentences. Suggestions rather than instructions will be given and useful silences necessary for reflection will be allowed. As far as possible and unless specifically requested by you, the use of textbooks designed for language learning will be avoided. Any audio-visual or written stimuli will be chosen with you in mind. The relationship between us will not be the typical teacher-student relationship. We will be travelling companions and we will work together to achieve the set objectives. Your emotions and moods will be as important as your brain in the learning process. Finally, you will never be judged for anything you say during the session and you will always receive my support for your efforts. My only aim is to help you develop your potential. Read more
