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.

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.

Maddalena is a great teacher! She makes Italian so accessible and enjoyable. She is great at providing you with the grammar in bit sizes so it is simple to digest! :D
I totally recommend her!
