Hi, I'm Marcello! I am a Native English speaker, born and raised in Canada. Last year I decided to move to Italy to study the Italian language and because I would like to live in Italy, since I come from an Italian background. In Canada I studied Health Sciences at the University of Western Ontario, and worked in various trades, (painting, landscape construction, tile-setting, electrical), and I am a licensed electrician. One thing I have always had a passion for, however, is teaching others, at school helping other students understand new concepts, or at work training apprentices how to complete our duties. Ciao a tutti gli italiani! Parlo anche l’italiano (bene) e mi piacerebbe aiutarvi!Me as a Teacher
I am the type of teacher that is very patient, approachable, adaptable, clear in my explanations, and passionate about helping others learn and teaching others. Teaching is something I have always done, from my teenager years (of course not as a professional) into adulthood. I take my time to explain even the most complex concepts in every detail possible, to ensure that you, as my student, understand, the concept is clear, and most importantly, you know how to apply your new understanding and knowledge. If I have not helped you understand, then we will go through the concepts a second time, in a different manner, as I adapt my strategy to varying learning styles and teaching methods.My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons we will focus on conversation or grammar-concepts (or both)--but I believe the most important and effective way to learn a language is to use the language!! Discussing grammar may help to clarify some things about the language, but it does not make you fluent. Speaking and listening are skills that must be practiced to become fluent. Together, we can talk and have conversations about anything you wish; I have many interests and I am knowledgeable in many subject areas. If, however, you need help with grammar, I am a grammar fan! I would love to help you really wrinkle-out any misunderstandings, confusion, or difficulty you have with any and all grammar concepts!My teaching material
