About Me
italki teacher since Mar 28, 2013Me as a Teacher
I have a Master Degree in teaching Italian and the CELTA certification to teach English, so I can truly understand the differences between the two languages and I can help you avoid translation errors and recognize false friends. I consider myself fortunate to have had the chance to combine the two things I love the most - travelling and teaching and in fact I taught languages in several countries: Uk, China, Germany and now Italy. My lessons are based on conversation and I'll make sure to give you the language tools in order to speak Italian or English from day one. I love building lasting relationships with my students and being able to see them develop their language skills.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are based on two elements: first I will give you the language tools in order to speak Italian or English from day one. Second, I will create tailor-made lessons for you based on your learning style and your interests. You will get a document where you will be able to study and make notes while we speak.My teaching material

Cinzia is always very organized and helpful. I felt like I got so much out of her lessons and really loved the material she had prepared prior to and after the lesson to help augment what we learned.

Questa è stata la mia settantesima lezione con Cinzia! Le lezioni hanno veramente cambiato la mia vita. Oggi abbiamo parlato, tra altre cose, del mondo lavorativo, usando un brano del romanzo 'Il padrone' di Goffredo Parise come punto di partenza. Abbiamo fatto esercizi sui gruppi semantici, sul discorso indiretto e sulle preposizioni. È stata, come sempre, una lezione eccellente e una piacevolissima chiacchierata. Grazie mille!
