About Me
italki teacher since Aug 8, 2017Me as a Teacher
Sometimes, it is difficult to describe yourself and stay objective. Thus, I let my students do that. But what I can say for sure it that during my school-age I always disliked the boogie-man teachers that I am sure we all had – the ones who insisted on results and being strict and frightening. Such teachers we all tend to forget! But I have always appreciated the teachers with a good sense of humor, tons of patience and understanding. No matter if I actually managed to learn something from them, I like to remember of such people and say that they were "HYGGELIG". Dictionaries translate this Norwegian word as pleasant, enjoyable, cozy etc. but it is way, way more :)My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style varies from very informal – unstructured and unprepared conversation about anything, to structured – where we have a clear goal e.g. gaining vocabulary, learning certain grammar topics, test preparation. All depending on the student's preferences!
However, there is one thing that I consider to be crucial in all my teaching – good mood, humor and relaxed atmosphere!My teaching material

Luca's style is one that puts you at ease so you can learn in a comfortable way, which I believe is the reason that I am now able to hold longer conversations each class and my confidence is through the roof--thanks to the style of Luca.
Jeg kan snakker norsk! Takk nemlighet Luca.
Takk nemlighet.

I've been meeting with Luca for a few years now and can't recommend him enough! He's a very genuine and engaged person, an excellent teacher, and a great friend. He has been a crucial part of my Norwegian language learning journey and I look forward to many more lessons with him.

Great teacher for my 11 year old. Not so easy to engage children, but my child really enjoyed it, which makes learning so much more fun
