Interest topic
Hi, my name is Cristina and I'm a native Italian speaker from Milan. I achieved a degree in English and Russian languages and literature. (That was 20 years ago). In all these years I've been working for a fashion brand, keeping direct relationships with foreign clients, using either Russian, English or Italian to communicate.
Mеня зовут Кристина и итальянский это мой родной язык. У меня вышее образование университета по иностранным языкам и литературе.(это было 20 лет назад). Все эти годы я работаю в компании в сфере моды, и каждый день я пишу и общаюсь с иностранными клиентами на русском, английском и итальянском языках.

Me as a Teacher
I think the best way to learn a language is through conversation with a native speaker, as I believe that only a native speaker knows his own language fully, the right pronunciation and the language structure. I also speak English and Russian and if you are a beginner I can help you to study my language by using either Russian or English.
Я думаю, что лучший способ выучить итальянский язык - это разговор с итальянцем, так как я считаю, что только свой язык можно знать полностью. Я также говорю по-английски и по-русски, поэтому если ты только начал изучать мой язык, я также помогу тебе используя либо русский, либо английский.
My lessons & teaching style
I propose a topic or a situation, for ex. at the bus stop with unknown people, at home with your family, and so on. I start to talk and I ask you questions. In this way you are stimulated to talk and ask me questions. I don't stop your speech, just at the end I give useful tips for improving your speaking skills and grammar.
Я предлагаю тему или ситуацию, например на остановке автобуса с неизвестными людьми, дома с семьей при приготовлении завтрака и т.д. Я начинаю говорить и задаю тебе вопросы, так что тебе придется отвечать, говорить и задавать мне вопросы. Я никогда прерываю речь студентов, и только на конец разговора я скажу, как можно улучшить способность выражения и грамматику.

Cristina was very friendly, talkative and patient. She spoke in Italian all the time and if I didn't understand her she translated it into English for me. She made me speak in Italian, corrected me after I finished the sentences and was very motivating. I really liked it a lot that she kept speaking in Italian. She spoke very clear and even as a beginner I could follow her more than I had expected. Cristina brought up very nice examples and sentences to make words and grammar understandable for me. Unfortunately Cristina's internet is not the strongest and so she was cut off quite often. We still got through the lesson pretty good as she patiently repeated everything again with a smile. Thank you very much Cristina. It was an interesting and very challenging lesson. Really enjoyed it. ✨🤓

A super tutor for me, I always want someone precise and thorough so I can learn the very proper way of expressing myself. She doesn’t let any mistake slide by us, I am grateful. The only difficulty I have is the weak Wi-Fi connection which makes it harder to learn/hear at times but we always manage 👍

I was very unprepared, but she was super helpful. I felt comfortable talking about my personal life, definitely come back in the future for more practice.
