InterestsReadingFilms & TV SeriesMusicArtTravel

I was born and raised in a little town called Chioggia, also known as 'the little Venice'. I have studied English, French, and German in high school and continued my linguistic training at the University of Bologna, earning a degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures with a specialization in English and French. I am now completing my studies in Postcolonial Literatures, focusing on Anglo-American and Francophone areas. I have been teaching Italian, English, and French privately for about 10 years, which has allowed me to adapt my teaching methods to different needs and personalities.

Me as a Teacher

I like to listen carefully to the person in front of me and adapt to their needs with patience. I often suggest reviewing some grammar together, but I mainly focus on putting the language into practice because I believe that active listening and practice, even with mistakes, are extremely effective in language learning. In fact, I consider mistakes to be essential for progress!

My lessons & teaching style

I like to adapt to the person and their needs. Lessons are usually structured around a specific theme or the application of a set of grammatical rules, depending on the student’s current level. I really enjoy having students read and translate different texts to help them understand how a language functions in various contexts. I also strongly believe in active listening and conversation, even at beginner levels, because, as I’ve already mentioned, I am a firm believer in the educational value of mistakes.

I'd highly recommend anyone to study with Linda. She was well prepared and professional, gracious with my mistakes, and fostered a fun and open learning environment. She is a great communicator and makes the material feel less intimidating and very accessible!

I like the lessons with Linda; she is an interesting person due to her skills in various areas and her personality. As a result, it is possible to discuss different topics using new vocabulary each time, thanks to Linda.
