Darbuka instrument is a percussion instrument that has a goblet shape. It narrows in the middle and widens back at the other end. The head of the instrument is wider than the other end. The traditional darbuka instrument have sheep, goat and fish skin for the good quality sound although contemporary ones have chemical skin called “glass skin”. This prevents the darbuka from popping or tearing so that it has a longer life. The body of the traditional darbukas used be made of wrought copper but nowadays, casting technique is used for a better sound. Nacre coating can be used for ornamentation on some types.

Holding a doctorate in geography from the Sorbonne, I offer academic support for primary, middle, and high school students. I teach all subjects up to the 9th grade level, and particularly literature, social sciences, English, and Spanish up to the baccalaureate level. I am very familiar with the educational and academic system. I wish to use my experience to provide personalized support to a student. In particular, I am able to assist with learning methods and knowledge assimilation. I teach at the university (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne). I have already provided homework help to primary and secondary school students, and I have taught at the university. I believe it's important to be able to put myself in the student's shoes in order to understand what they don't understand and to tailor the support accordingly. I myself benefited from homework help during my schooling; my father is a university professor. You will find more details about my background, qualifications and teaching skills on my profile. I also offer private English lessons. I am also available occasionally, or regularly in the evenings, for babysitting.

Hi! I'm a bilingual Italian (Italian-English) with a background in television writing and over five years of teaching experience—private lessons, primary school, and supporting students with special educational needs. I studied in Italy, the United States, and Canada, which gives me a truly international approach to language learning. This course is for all levels, from complete beginners starting from scratch to advanced students looking to improve their fluency. Each lesson combines structured grammar with real conversation, so you progress in both accuracy and confidence. We work on speaking, listening, reading, and writing through concrete situations—travel, work, exams, or simply the pleasure of speaking fluent Italian. What makes my classes a little different is my approach of personalizing each lesson according to how each student learns and expresses themselves—including non-verbal communication. I believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing vocabulary: it's about understanding a culture, communicating, and creating a real connection. Don't worry if you're a complete beginner — learning should be fun, not stressful! Join me to explore Italian culture and gain confidence speaking Italian, at your own pace and according to your goals.

This course is designed for students who are new to learning Turkish and for those who want to learn Turkish at an advanced level. The lessons will be tailored to your level and interests. According to your level, we will progress step by step following a specific plan, and I will make sure you are confident in each step you learn. I will take simultaneous notes of what we discuss in each lesson, and I will send you the notes along with the pages we worked on during the lesson afterward. In our lessons, in addition to grammar, we will also engage in pronunciation, writing, listening, and reading activities. I will prepare materials and sentences for you to use during the lesson according to your needs, focusing on the sentences you will need the most in your daily life or when speaking Turkish, so that you can start speaking Turkish from the first lesson and begin to understand the logic of Turkish. I will provide you with books, exercise sheets, videos, and optional assignments so that you can continue practicing Turkish after the lesson. I will ask you to send me your assignments before the lessons so that I can correct them beforehand, and we won't have to spend time on assignments during the lesson. Of course, if there are any parts you didn't understand, we can review them in the next lesson. I strive to spend the first 10 minutes of each lesson asking you questions and encouraging you to form sentences based on what you learned in the previous lesson. You will always be able to reach me outside of class. I am eager to meet you and start our lessons!!
