Hello everybody! I am Sofia a 21 years old Italian girl that came to the Hague for a Bachelor in Political Science at Leiden University after studying humanities together with Latin and Ancient Greek in high school. My intention is to give Italian lessons (Speaking, writing, listening skills that you want to improve), since I am mother tongue, English lessons (level C1) (Speaking, writing, listening skills that you want to improve) and tutoring for elementary, middle school and high school students.
My English knowledge can be proved by the 13 years I spent studying the language and the year I spent abroad in US, in which I attended and graduated from an American high school. I have had many experiences during the years of high school tutoring students, helping them with school home works, and giving both Italian and English lessons to people of all ages. I always give my best and I believe that your success in learning is also my success. Can’t wait to start with you and make some nice improvements!

Learning Chinese isn't as stressful as it seems. The key is to have fun and to constantly practice with a native speaker. I teach Chinese for both speaking, writing and reading. I have been tutoring Chinese for years and I have designed various exercises for learning Pinyin, practicing standard pronunciation with gesture as well as daily communicative exercises.

During the lesson, I'd love to my students to speak Chinese as much as they can. Trust me, It's the best way to learn. I also plan game&movie events regularly to help my students get a closer look to the culture.
