About Me
italki teacher since Dec 27, 2021
I am a third year university student of Translation and Interpretation with a great love for languages, I like to define myself as a language nerd. I've been studying languages since high school and I know they're part of my future as well.
I am a quite, patient and easygoing person, I am extremely chill and not judgemental at all. I am open-minded and I like to learn new things about other cultures and other people's lifestyle.
As for my free time activities, when I have some time for myself I like to enjoy a good book while drinking a cup of tea or draw.
Me as a Teacher
I worked as a tutor in a middle school, I used to help students with their homework, but also with the preparation of written or oral tests. I really like to help people in their learning process, therefore I'm considering teaching as a possibile long-term profession. One of my strenght is my patience, I hardly ever get angry and I won't mind explaining the same topic over and over again, the only thing that I care about, is that you understand and assimilate it!
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is rather chilled and informal, as I try to create a comfortable atmosphere in which you feel free to speak without caring too much about making mistakes, that's part of the learning process. We will simulate real-life conversations and I'll provide you with many ways of saying and useful phrases that are relevant in everyday's life, I can also integrate our classes with some translation and interpretation exercises that I found particularly effective for the languange learning. The key word of my classes is "personalized", we'll decide together how to stucture it, which kind of exercises you prefer... I'll try to adapt everything to your needs and goals.

Maddalena is a good teacher. She starts with simple conversations, asks you if you have any questions you would like answers to about your day-to-day Italian problems, and she goes over a mini lesson with an application of what you learned. I have tried other teachers, but Maddalena has helped me to be able to understand things a lot better. She is very calm and she is willing to work at your pace and level. Her lessons focus more on the general stuff that is easy to forget and hard to remember and yet simple and effective. For example, we have talked over different pets, hobbies, clothes, etc. which, at least for me, is hard to remember. Thank you Maddalena, for supporting my Italian journey and helping me understand the answers to my random questions!

Dalla prima lezione, ci si rende conto che lei è davvero un insegnante brava, unica, e speciale.
Maddalena clearly has tons of experience with the language learning process, and will undoubtedly be an incredibly valuable resource for you on your own journey!

I have been taking lessons with Maddalena for a few months now. I can say without a doubt that my Italian has benefitted enormously from these regular sessions. The sessions have helped no end in expanding my knowledge of the Italian language, and bridging the gap between this knowledge and my competence in use of the Italian language.
