Passionate native Italian tutor in English and Italian for everybody
From 43.18 C$ /h
I was born in Rome, and I have always been passionate about all forms of language, verbal and non-verbal. I have a degree in Modern Literature, in which I was able to direct my studies and interests towards linguistics and, after many years in Scotland, now I am attending a research Masters in Linguistics in Utrecht.
Over the years I have understood how communication and languages are fundamental and how the knowledge of these allows a deep knowledge of the culture of the language. Also, I think learning a language is a wonderful way to train the brain and learn to think in different ways. For this reason, as a native Italian tutor, I am not a fan of mnemonic teaching of the language, but my aim is to make my students understand the mechanism and general behaviour of Italian. My linguistic and philosophical approach is very important for teaching Italian to beginners and advancers.

Extra information
As Italian native speaker, passionate about English and as Linguist, I love teaching Italian and English engaging with students from other cultures. My passion for language and philosophy have always helped me to offer strong and effective lessons that focus more on reasoning than mnemonic study. My aim is to make my students understand the mechanism and general behaviour of the language. Indeed, the key for studying a difficult language is not knowing many words or many rules but rather understanding the mechanism behind it. My approach, which is both linguistic and philosophical in this sense, is very important to teach a language for beginners and advancers. While I can provide a good structure of Italian/English for beginners, I can reinforce the vocabulary and variety in the expressions in advancers.
The lessons will be built around the specific needs and goals of the students, but grammar and conversation will certainly not be missing! Usually the lessons are equally divided between grammar and conversation since both are necessary for deep language learning. The student will learn the most important grammar rules and put them into practice with interactive exercises - grammar can be fun! Furthermore, the student will also put grammar into practice through readings and conversations about typical facts and situations. While the grammar helps the student to have structure, the conversation helps the student to practise with the structure.
If you are interested in learning Italian, for pleasure or business, I could teach you how to communicate with friends, colleagues, suppliers and customers, improving the right terminology suitable for you.
