About Me

Hello! I am a native Italian language teacher with several years of experience (both in school and online) and a pedagogical background.
I give 1:1 lessons but I also have a few group lessons.
My lessons are easy to follow, fun and the focus is, already from the first lesson, on speaking.

I will adapt the study plan based on your personal goals and starting level, don't be afraid to ask if you don't understand. I love questions!

As a teacher, I am fully aware that learning is not a linear process since our life is affected by internal and external factors such as for example motivation, learning ability, ability to understand and remember new concepts, stress, working schedule, seasonal tiredness and so on.
Because of that, it will always be possible to change or adapt the learning materials based on your needs.

Education

- Master's degree in piano performance from Italy
- Bachelor's degree in piano performance from Finland
- Bachelor's degree in music pedagogy from Finland ( still going on)
- Bachelors in International Business Administration from Finland (still going on)

Experience / Qualifications

I started teaching in 2014 as a side school activity and since 2019 I am teaching officially in a school.
During these years I had the great opportunity to teach both piano and Italian to students coming from countries such as Spain, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Pakistan, Nigeria, Vietnam, the USA and Iran. That, combined with my pedagogical studies, gave me a better understanding of how to approach students coming from diverse backgrounds and having different study methods.
My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most and build a study plan from there. My goal is to help students to reach their musical potential and aspirations while having a wonderful time! Don't be afraid to start playing the piano, it is never too late! :)
Learn Italian in Italian!:) Level: from A0 to B1. The time is negotiable and flexible. We will practice grammar, listening, pronunciation, writing and speaking. Let me know your goals and I will help you to achieve them.

Communication Training (Professional / Personal) & Public Speaking
Whether your goal is personal or professional, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, relying on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations, reflecting the involvement of the speaker in his speech. How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression? How to regain self-confidence and control the management of his emotions? Knowing how to speak in public is now a necessity for the company and in the company. From a personal point of view, this is a vector for better relationships and optimal messages. On the phone, in a meeting, in front of a client or a banker (...), your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent. Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented and then put into practice for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering trust ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups. Controlled, the method allows: • improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's fluency (verbal-bodily), his public speaking and his sense of repartee and improvisation • to work on his ease, leadership, his NLP, his charisma, his creativity and to go towards a certain personal development, through a set of scenarios * improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitch, intention, flow) Completed by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management ...), role plays, improvisations and simulations will be set up. With the key words: pronunciation, rhetoric, verbal and non-verbal communication, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee, structured speech (...). The goal is not only to focus on verbal communication but also on nonverbal communication, so as to make the control of his body, his voice (...), a real and lasting strength. Depending on the interaction between the trainer - coach and the one who consults, there is no single way to operate: each type of session depends on the needs and difficulties of each. In all cases, it is very often a question, while adapting to your own needs and after having precisely diagnosed your desired objective and the blockages encountered, to combine the theory (the bases of the studied concept, for example NLP / information asymmetry / the "how to say no" / the tools of non-verbal communication or the application of kinaesthesia) and its application (through exercises and direct applications). For example, are discussed: - the fundamentals of public speaking: breathing, gaze and body language - diction and elocution: rhythm and range of your voice - management of your emotions and your emotional overflow (example: stress) - work on the body, to amplify your charisma and ensure consistency between your message and your body ... with the aim of: * Enhance your presentation and arouse interest by focusing on your strengths, your qualities ... your personality * Match the content and form of your message * Improve your charisma, your self-confidence and the benefits of your emotional intelligence Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, specialized and worked for over 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking in renowned public and private international institutions, involved in forums and conferences, and focused on two areas: training and coaching, with the key words pedagogy and careful methodology. PLACES - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: notes that can be re-read on the chat). In this context, the videoconference sessions for which you asked me to seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place very optimally and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm).
