About Me
italki teacher since Nov 26, 2021
Interest topicTravelArtHistory
My name is Nina and I am half Italian half Georgian. I have a masters degree in Entrepreneurship and Innovation and I run a small pesto sauces company here in Tbilisi. I love to travel and meet new people, this is why during one of my travels I decided to move to Tbilisi, in Georgia to discover more about my roots! I am passionate about literature, philosophy and history as well as food, art and fashion!
I have a little dog called Shu, a tiny Maltese that makes trouble around the house and keeps eating my shoes. Fortunately (for Shu) my students really love him, so he has a teacher assistant job to pay for his troubles!

Me as a Teacher
As I moved to Tbilisi, in Georgia, I started to teach Italian in a local school. I was working both with kids, teaching them the very basics of Italian language, as well as senior students.
With seniors, on an intermediate/advanced level, I like to supply them texts from Italian literature or journal articles that we can discuss and understand together. Nevertheless, I do also have a wide experience teaching beginners and all the necessary materials for grammar.
For me the best way to learn a language is by practicing it without any shame for eventual grammar mistakes. When I teach I always encourage my students to speak as much as they can, with no shame for mistakes!
My lessons & teaching style
I structure my lessons depending on the requirements of my students. When I work with intermediate to advanced students I supply them with some texts (from Italian literature, journals and so on) that we can discuss and argument. This is the best way to learn new terms as well as their synonyms. I try to let my students talk and eventually point out some mistakes that they are able to correct themselves most of the times. I assign some homework too that I review with the student the first 15 minutes of the lesson.

As a teacher myself, I have to say that Nina is by far the most professional out of the three italki teachers my daughter has had lessons with. If you are looking for a highly motivated, reliable and dedicated Italian teacher with a very warm and dynamic personality and the ability to engage and motivate students, then Nina is definitely the teacher for you!

Nina is a very nice teacher for Italian. She is very understanding and will answer any of your questions with the language along with the Italian culture. If you need an Italian teacher I highly recommend Nina no matter what your level is.
