About Me
I taught to several students, especially in the age of middle and high school. To one of them, I have been the very first teacher of Latin and Greek. My method usually follows the order presented by the grammar book, but with a more conversational and thoughtful approach, dialoguing with the student and making him/her sure that is actually understanding, and not only remembering.
Education
- Currently Ph.D student at the Unversity of Helsinki. Programme of History and cultural heritage.
- Master degree at Sapienza University of Rome in Cultures and Religions. Score: 110 with honors.
Experience / Qualifications
Private teacher of Latin and ancient Greek between 2016 and 2022.
I also had several courses of classical and historical subject both at high school and university.

# Course set-up

I can help you in the preparation of italian language tests, exams or certifications in speaking or writing practice. I will guide you during your italian learning journey, focusing on a way of learning that fit your needs the most (real language use versus test preparation)!

Before we set up our lectures, I will likely ask you some questions to clarify your current situation, needs and goals. If you have any weaknesses you would like to address, mention them and I will prepare for that! After every lecture, I will take notes of what we did and prepare a schedule for an eventual next lecture! If you have any suggested activity for our lectures, feel free to ask!
The lecture structure is very free and customizable, depending on your needs. We will discuss more about this before scheduling our first lecture and especially during the first lecture.

We will both use digital resources and digital italian textbooks to assist your learning. You don't need to obtain your own resources, but if you have some you need help with, feel free to share! Based on your needs, I will prepare some exercises that we can do together during lectures. You can also propose your own exercises and we can do them together during or in part of the lectures!

Questions are always very welcomed and even encouraged, both outside and inside lectures! Being the guy that always asks stupid questions in class: there are no stupid questions. Questions that might look stupid to others could be the ones that allow you to finally grasp a concept and make everything clear. Everybody has a different learning style, and that's fine.

# Lecture modality

The lessons are thought to be primarly via Zoom or Google Meet.
However, if you live in near Helsinki and you prefer face-to-face lectures, we can book a public room somewhere and have our lessons there! Feel free to book more than one hour in the same day, although I wouldn't recommend more than two hours of language learning in a row.
