About Me
My name is Patricia and I come from a small town in La Rioja, northern Spain.

I am passionate about various things, like sports, water and stories. My ideal day would be one that includes a slow but yummy breakfast with a bit of sunlight, some outdoor sport like swiming, hiking or climbing and a cultural activity in good company, for example a reading club meeting or a cinema date. :)

Currently I live in Berlín, where I can try to fit my days into that ideal quite often. The only thing that, sometimes, gets difficult is the sun part. That's why I try to travel back home from time to time. As well as to visit family and friends.

What I love the most about my work as a teacher is the space we create where we focus on the tools we have and the ones we need in order to understand and comunicate with each other, to tell our stories and build our opinions.
As I see it, it is not just about learning "words" and "grammar rules", it's about communicating, learning and building ideas. I also love seeing the developement in the learning process of my students.
Education

Experience / Qualifications
My experience studying Philosophy and 10 years working as a non formal educator have allowed me to create a hybrid style in teaching where learning critically about the world (languages, geography, social movements, literature, art, etc.) is the bases, but doing it in a way that is fun, interactive and creative is what keeps the wheel going.
I also studied a Master's degree in Language didactics, which has helped me go deeper in the interest of sharing culture. My lessons are always oriented to develope communication skills, no matter if it is a grammar class or a reading club.

Improve your communication skills in all areas (speaking, listening, reading, writing) through the exciting world of fables by Chilean author Luis Sepúlveda.

In these classes we will read different fables, little by little, and get to know endearing characters, think about very interesting topics and build our own ideas while learning to understand and use the past tenses (imperfect?, indefinite?), the subjunctive (oh, oh, oh!) or the vocabulary necessary to tell stories (your story) of everyday life.

In these classes, we will practice oral communication skills and delve deeper into the vocabulary and structures necessary to read and speak about current events in the Spanish-speaking world. We will do this through reading and discussing newspaper articles.
To do this:
- Before class: you will receive a news item to read first.
- During the class:
_ We will do an activity related to the specific vocabulary of the topic
We will discuss the news through questions
_ We will relate the news to everyday aspects of the student's life or other relevant topics

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

➤ So, how do you listen and be listened to, convince/persuade and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your audience relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange/message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, simple intervention or 'one to one' exchange, aiming to challenge one's audience or interlocutor, taking care of both the content and the form. , all in a professional or personal setting.

➤ In short, public speaking skills are now an essential cross-functional skill for asserting oneself, informing, negotiating, and persuading.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Coherence between form and content. The important thing in communication is not the confidence we have in ourselves, but the appearance of confidence we exude. It’s also not about being structured or coherent but simply about appearing to be so. And to do this, there are targeted tools.

➤ So, how do you listen and be listened to, convince/persuade and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your audience relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange/message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, simple intervention or 'one to one' exchange, aiming to challenge one's audience or interlocutor, taking care of both the content and the form. , all in a professional or personal setting. Here again, there is a range of precise verbal and non-verbal communication techniques which, once modernized and brought up to date, will be put to the service of your reality.

➤ In short, public speaking skills are now an essential cross-functional skill for asserting oneself, informing, negotiating, and persuading. However, to master the keys to successful public communication, it is necessary to enhance the impact of one's own speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and the audience's expectations; by making a lasting impression through storytelling; by integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; by incorporating emotions into the preparation of the message and arguments; by anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an engaging and convincing presentation outline; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; and by appropriately managing difficult situations (...).

I also have a C1 level of English, which allows me to communicate fluently in this language. I offer personalized classes adapted to each person's level and pace. My goal is for the student to achieve their objective while feeling comfortable throughout the process.

This class is aimed at people of all ages and levels who want to learn Spanish and get to know the language better. At the end of each class, I assign tasks to improve learning and better absorb knowledge.
