About Me
italki teacher since Aug 2, 2016InterestsArtReadingTravel
Hello, my name is Laura and I'm an Italian teacher. I got a Master degree in italian language and literature at University of Padova and CEDILS certification at University of Venice. It is a qualification that enables me to teach Italian as second language.
You can find further information in my website: learn-italian-online.netMe as a Teacher
I have taught for many years Italian in secondary schools and I have experience of teaching to groups of foreign students (both teenagers and adults). Trough all theese activities I have organized the course material that includes various topics and is divided into different levels of difficulty.
I am also the co-author of several adapted Italian literature books for foreign learners.
https://learn-italian-online.net/resources/a-book-in-easy-italian.htmlMy lessons & teaching style
My lessons are structured according to language proficiency levels set by the European framework and adapt to the needs of my students and to their way of learning: “If I do not learn the way you teach me, teach me the way I learn.”. The first trial lesson is specifically intended to understand the knowledge level of Italian and the needs of students in order to prepare an effective program. Usually during lessons my students practice understanding, speaking, reading, writing and reflect on grammar rules with the right balance between practice and theory. They also discover connections between language and culture through a combination of education and fun.My teaching material

I will say this in English, for the benefit of any other students reading.
Laura is an excellent teacher. Not only friendly, professional, open but always thinking about the right learning path for the individual student.
I have been studying with Laura for more than one year, and my Italian has improved enormously, but even then she has identified a new approach to improve in another area. And she always checks and re-checks that the approach is working for me.
You won't find many better teachers.
Grazie mille, Laura!

I definitely have to say that this lesson with Laura has been wonderful. Just after 20 lessons I have got a good understanding of the subjunctive, and this would've been imposible without Laura's efforts to make me comprehend the grammar in a fun and easy way. Also, I really like our conversations during the speaking part; time flies with Laura while talking about really interesting things (she's really well educated and can speak about very different things related with all the Italian culture, traveling, society, politics, literature, history...). I am a Spanish teacher, and from the first moment I knew Laura is well prepared and enjoys teaching her native language. If I were a student looking for a great teacher, I would definitely give Laura the chance to help me learn this beautiful language. I hated Italian for while after having a terrible Professor at the University, but Laura made me like this language again. That is one of the best things a student can say about a teacher!!!

Excellent. Good pace - not too fast, not too slow. Adjusts very well to my stumbles and countless errors. And is always cheerful and encouraging. I never feel discouraged and just keep going. Laura has a real talent for keeping you going and the time goes quickly.
