About Me

School support and language teaching have been my center of interest from an early age. Already at age 15 I was teaching reinforcement of various disciplines (Italian, English, French, mathematics) and I continued to combine my studies with this activity. Then, after graduating as an interpreter and translator, and having worked for many years in the communication sector, I returned to study to get a master's degree in language teaching (precisely Spanish foreign language).
I focus my classes giving priority to communication, that is to a contextualized use of the language. I propose the use of authentic documents, I try to encourage a deductive learning of the language (grammar rules, etc.) and above all autonomy in the learning process. For this to be motivating and effective, it is important to work in the student's centers of interest / objectives. The didactic plan is not then standard, but I am designing it "to measure".

Lessons are tailored to the student's needs and interests. Available to tackle grammar or cultural topics on request. The emphasis is placed on lexical usage and interaction: building vocabulary and appropriateness. Grammar is always contextualised within a communicative approach: I avail myself of authentic materials, written or interactive exercises, excerpts from books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, videos. Cross-cultural implications are of central importance, so my lessons give an insight into the Italian way of life, art history, literature, cooking, music etc. I live in Valpolicella, an area renowned for its wine and situated in the province of Verona, Italy, the romantic town of Romeo and Juliet, of the Arena and its opera season. . . I can help you discover some of the most charming tourist attractions of northern Italy, with reference to authentic materials.
