Hi! I'm Valentina, from Italy.
I had various chances to travel to different countries in the past, and this made me interested in learning as much as I can about different cultures, and languages. That's why I've been fluent in English since I was 15, and got a C2 Cambridge Certificate soon after.
I like reading, writing, knitting, martial arts, listening to music, watching tv shows... Anything interesting to do, and possibly a bit creative!
Ciao, sono Valentina!
Ho viaggiato spesso in passato, e da lì è nato il mio interesse in diverse lingue e culture. Mi piace anche leggere, lavorare a maglia, arti marziali, ascoltare musica... Qualunque cosa sia interessante, e possibilmente creativa!
Me as a Teacher
I started teaching almost by chance, because a lot of friends from different countries asked me for help with their English or Italian. It was pretty fun, so I went on to offer private lessons, even on a volunteer basis. Afterwards, I decided to attend a TEFL/TESOL (Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language) course, so that I could learn how to be a better teacher all around.
Ho cominciato a insegnare quasi per sbaglio, quando diversi amici mi hanno chiesto aiuto per imparare l'inglese e l'italiano. È stata un'esperienza interessante che mi ha portata a offrire lezioni private d'inglese. Ho poi deciso di frequentare un corso per insegnare inglese come seconda lingua, ed ora eccomi qua!
My lessons & teaching style
I always tailored the lessons to my students' needs and interests. This means that we can focus on grammar, conversation, reading or more, based on why you're studying English and what your learning style is. If you don't know what it is, we can find out together! We'll get through a lesson to get to know each other, during which we'll talk about your goals, your current level, and your hobbies and interests, so that I can prepare lessons plans just for you! I can give you some homework for your next lesson or we can study everything in class, based on what you want to do and your availability.
