Italian, Latin, Grammar, Translation, Test prep Tutoring

From 123.4 C$ /h

I am a permanent literature teacher and have taught in Italian secondary schools for more than twenty years. I am qualified to teach in secondary schools in the humanities (Italian, Literature, History, Geography, Civic Education) and I obtained a PhD in Latin Literature and Philology in 2016. During the doctoral period I had the possibility of teaching preparatory and preparatory courses in Latin Literature. Thanks to my rather varied professional experience, I am used to dealing with different levels of linguistic competence, both Italian and Latin

My aim is to convey to my students the passion for the Latin language and literature, to understand not only its structures and cultural substratum, but also the links with modern languages. Only in this way, I believe, will they be able to have the tools to restore the word to its profound value (semantic, pragmatic, cultural) and avoid the improper use that new media often impose.

About Me

Credo nell'importanza della formazione come base per il futuro dei giovani, sia a livello lavorativo che di definizione della persona. Credo nella relazione tra docente e studente e nel rispetto reciproco dei ruoli. Mi piace pensare che si possa apprendere divertendosi, secondo i ritmi cognitivi di ognuno, arricchendo ricorsivamente le conoscenze e le competenze già acquisite.

Nel latino risiedono le radici non solo delle lingue romanze, ma anche della cultura europea.
Imparare questa lingua e la sua letteratura può essere una sfida estremamente arricchente ed entusiasmante.
Le mie lezioni mirano ad offrire gli strumenti per tradurre e apprezzare al meglio i testi latini, sottolineando come parole e strutture latine sono tutt'ora vive nelle lingue moderne.

Meetings and lessons of Italian language and culture.
Learning italian and about Italy is
always an immersion in a millennia-old history, in the art and traditions of the Italian culture, which fascinates us again and again. Language, conversation, preparation for various language certificates...

"Thanks to the mutual dependence of thought and speech, it seems very clear that languages do not really serve to expose the truth already known, but rather to discover the truth that was previously unknown. Their diversity is not a diversity of sounds and signs, but of worldviews." W. Von Humboldt (1820)

Class Title: Italian from Zero: Your First Step!
Description:
Have you always dreamed of speaking Italian? Let's start from zero together! This class is designed for those with no prior knowledge of the language.

Grab a cup of coffee (or tea!) and let's practice together in a relaxed atmosphere.
