English Lessons For Children (Beginner and intermediate)

My goal is to persuade and aid children in both improving and learning a new language.
In the class i will focus on all the basic fundamental of learning a new language including: Grammar, Spelling,Pronunciation, Reading and Listening.
I try to make my lessons as creative as possible and I do that by introducing my students to various activities including: games boards, story books, quizzes and various other activities. This does not only make teaching English fun but helps the student more engaged and attentive during my lesson.
I do provide homework which I expect to be completed before my next lesson and I am willing to help with the students school homework if needed.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.


I look forward to meeting you.

¡Muy buenos días, me llamo Francesca! Bonjour, je m'appelle Francesca. Je cours pour la preparation pour les examens espagnols au lycée et au Université, pour particuliers et entreprises (with invoice).

For the past few years I have been living and working in Spain, in Barcelona.
I am Italian. I have studied Spanish from level A1 to level C2, certified by the most prestigious organization in the study and teaching of the Spanish language, the Instituto Cervantes.

I have obtained the following university degrees:
- Master's degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures with honors (final grade 110 cum laude), University of Ferrara (2011)
- Bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures (final grade 108/110), University of Bologna (2008)

As a lifelong learner, I am improving my skills and have a Master's degree in Human Resources Management, UOC - Open University of Catalonia.

I have obtained the following official language certificates:

- Certified DELE examiner (all levels: A1-C2) issued by the Instituto Cervantes
- Certificate in Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) teacher training, issued by International House and recognized by the University of Barcelona
- DELE level C2 issued by the Instituto Cervantes
- DELF level A1-A6 (B2) issued by the Alliance Française

I have worked as a Spanish teacher and examiner in Enforex and Don Quijote in Barcelona; in major international companies such as Michael Page, Fedex, Comercial Química Massó, Velfont-Velamen, the Ferrara Chamber of Commerce and in the Ferrara high school, international schools in Italy and Spain.

I am a philologist specializing in Spanish and I speak several languages that can help my students clarify their doubts.

I started teaching many years ago and I continue because it is my great passion, also in my free time.
