About Me
italki teacher since Sep 24, 2015InterestsFashion & BeautyWritingReading
I'm a med student with a passion for languages and talking to people and what in Italian would be called "fare la maestrina" (to teach people... but in a slightly pretentious way :P ) I like to share what I have learnt during my standard education and during my years as a subtitle translator. Even if I didn't do it professionally, it gave me a lot of insight into the Italian language.
I have two cats and a Norwegian fiancé (but no, I was learning Norwegian before learning him, it's not because of him! ;) ). I come from up North in Italy and was raised with Italian and some German traditions.
I like to read, watch TV shows, do yoga, do creative stuff, talk to people... things!
I'm afraid I'm not the typical teacher. I feel like I'm more of a friendly face correcting your errors and pushing you to practice and talk. I think a lot can be done alone with books but what makes talking to a native special is that one goes beyond the (often boring) book and is able to interact and have an exchange with the person.
I studied languages in school and for a year in university. I know Italian grammar well and I love grammar in general. I translated for years and got to realise how hard it can be to use the language but also how beautiful Italian is.
I do not teach children or complete beginners. I don't have the expertise and don't want to ruin the experience for them!
What I try to do is to be more of a person you can talk to than a professional figure (which, being a tutor, I' not) y...5.0
