About Me
italki teacher since Mar 18, 2022
I'm an introvert but not a shy person, often sociable and smiley but it depends on the mood of the moment! I grew up in Ancona and moved to Macerata for uni. However, in the last few years, I've lived around Europe, participating in several Erasmus+: Poland, England, Belgium and Portugal the longest ones. Finally, I eventually moved back to Brussels for a master's. I love traveling, meeting new people from every corner of the planet and exchanging ideas and experiences. I find it stimulating to talk to strangers on the street, couchsurfing, backpacking, living a spartan yet intellectually challenging life.
A friend once said that I would be able to make friends with a tree if only trees.
Me as a Teacher
I have never taught Italian 'professionally' and my experience as a teacher is limited to voluntary work for some organization that helps refugees and immigrants to integrate into society. However, coming from a family of immigrants myself, I am well aware of the initial mistakes made by those who are approaching Italian for the first time, what the different approaches to learning can be and, above all, I am familiar with the kind of patience and support that is needed to keep up with those who are approaching a foreign language for the first time.
I'm a working student so giving lessons here would be limited to a few hours per week.
My lessons & teaching style
Generally, I prefer informal, friendly but also stimulating talks, perhaps inspired by some shared article, essay, film, video or presentation. However, I do not deal with grammar in fact all sessions are conversational, perhaps kept constant and stimulating thanks to article, essay, film, video or presentation. For this purpose generally a minimum good level of Italian is already required for understanding, but we can converse even if you are just starting out and want to practice. I can also help you with more academic and complex texts or oral presentations.
