My name is Thalia and I live in Italy. I grew up in Paris, studied in New York and I am now living in Florence and working in Urban Tourism. I am also the president of an association of polyglots who organize events and labs in order to teach and share their love of languages. Connecting people, teaching/learning languages and discovering new cultures is what I am most passionate about.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have been teaching private classes for years. I have taught French, Greek, English and Italian to all age ranges both in person and online. Apart from languages I have also been organizing French and Italian cooking classes/experiences and enjoy teaching languages by sharing everyday life tasks and fun activities. Except for complete beginners I normally speak only French during the class. If you want me to speak in English (or the rest of the languages I speak) and translate words for you, you will have to insist... I think that the best way to learn French is to forget about English, both during the classes and in your notebooks. You'll have to speak, write and soon dream in French!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are generally divided into two sections. During the first part of the class I concentrate on grammar while on the second one I propose a relaxing and enjoyable activity that will inspire the students to express themselves in the language they are learning. In order to figure out the student's interests and preferred topics, I have a generic series of five encounters that I always start with and which gives me the opportunity to customize the second part of my lessons according to the student's favorite topics should we continue the lessons in the long term. In terms of grammar, I get my inspiration from old classic grammar books which I modernize and adapt to each student's needs.
Great lesson as always. I’m really starting to make progress now and it’s thanks to Thalia’s great way of teaching.

Thalia plans her lessons around what interests her students which makes the conversation flow. She has already helped my confidence just in the first class! Very pleasant and fun to work with.

another great lesson. Thalia is pushing me on in my learning at a steady pace. She is very patient (I’m an older student so often forget things) and takes time to explain topics and a constructive and supportive way. Thalia is a delight to work with at all times. 🙏
