ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: CULTURE, GRAMMAR AND LITERATURE

From 21.66 C$ /h

I think that a very beautiful part of culture is language. That's why I'm interested in dedicating part of my day to teaching and learning a new language. In my case I am learning Italian and German.

If you join me we can have conversations in English about anything (although I am passionate about movies, books, history, sports and music).
I will use books and exams to study grammar, but for me it is very important to really understand the language and for that you have to speak and try to do exercises first and then be able to understand the theory or the other way around, whichever is more comfortable for you.
I encourage you to try it, and you'll see how it turns out!
Extra information
You can bring your book and notebook, but I can provide you with material such as pdf, videos, pdf books or conversation games.

I am an Italian native speaker and I am fluent in English, having lived a decade in a few different places in the UK. Furthermore I speak Spanish to a beginner-to-intermediate level.

I’ve got two passions in life: music and cultures and they both relate to languages. Music is known to be a universal language and different cultures connect with, and influence each other, through the use of spoken language.

My formal education lays in music, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, and a five-year diploma as a Jazz bass player from the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado in Milan.

I’ve been teaching music for fifteen years and during the last one I've decided to expand over to languages, by taking up the challenge to combine my passion for teaching with the love for languages. I’ve developed the latter during my many years abroad, where I shared my everyday life with people from all over te world.

My method is essentially based on grammar and conversation, alternating the two based on the student’s level of fluency. Once the basics are mastered I focus on conversation, especially providing thorough explanation about typical words and expressions and their various acceptations within different contexts. At times I may also add the odd etymology side note when relevant. I also like to use readings upon subjects that are of the student’s interest, as this aids in nurturing their motivation.

Given the transformative and fluid nature of speech, my aim is to deliver an organic learning experience, able to be put to fruition from the start and in everyday life, but that also won’t fail to address the differences between formal and informal interactions. Hence, avoiding inhibit a swift communication in favour of grammatical accuracy.

A second level of my teaching focuses on expanding the student's writing skills and this is aimed to individuals who may have achieved a solid grasp of the basis and a wider knowledge on vocabulary. This is because writing is an art on its own and its objective is to convey one's true thoughts and feelings, therefore it requires a dedicated effort.

I can teach in English, Italian and Spanish and lessons can be either in person at your place or mine, or via Zoom.
