Hi, I'm Francesca! I'm a native Italian and English speaker currently living in Norway.
I studied Scandinavian languages and cultures at university in London and Oslo, and have worked for different companies in both Italy and Norway.
I discovered my passion for teaching thanks to my mother, and have helped many students achieve their goals throughout the years. My focus is to create a relaxed and friendly environment where my students don't feel anxious or embarrassed about making mistakes ;)
Outside of teaching, I love gaming with friends, cooking, metal detecting and going for walks in the beautiful Norwegian nature.
I hope to meet you soon, thank you for reading! :)
Me as a Teacher
I am completely bilingual, so you can expect an authentic native Italian and English (standard British) pronunciation.
I have a long experience learning languages - from French, German and Latin to Old Icelandic, Faroese and Norwegian! This means I completely understand that learning a language can be quite challenging at times, but I also know that anything is possible with the right support :)
My own experiences have taught me to be very patient and empathetic, and you can be sure that I will always take your concerns seriously and will never rush you.
My main aim is for you to enjoy practicing your chosen language and to look forward to learning something new in every lesson!
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons consist mostly of informal conversations, where you are free to decide any topic you would like to talk about or focus on! I don't like correcting my students every time they might make a mistake, so I will let you speak freely and I will give you detailed feedback afterwards.
We can use a variety of teaching materials according to your preferences, and we can decide together if homework is necessary.
I am very happy to adapt my teaching style to best suit your individual needs. Just let me know what your goals are, where you feel less confident and how you learn best, so that we can work together on making each lesson fun and fruitful!
