About Me
italki teacher since Mar 27, 2018
Hello, my name is Gloriana, I live near Seattle but was born and raised in Catania, Sicily, Italy; "Sicilia Bella!" I speak Italian, English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, all fluently. I love Spanish like it was my native tongue. I spent a little over a year living in Madrid, Spain with my sister. I also speak Portuguese on a daily basis with some students from Brazil that I helped learn Italian and English. I'm also working on improving my French fluency because languages are my raison d'être. This means my dream is to become a linguist so I'm working very hard on my degree while also serving in the U.S. Airforce and teaching in the meantime.
Me as a Teacher
I have TEFL certificate that I acquired from TEFL Express last year and I have taken the Deficiency Language Test through the Military for Italian and Spanish with a result of 2+ which corresponds to Advance. I have taught English and Italian through Skype to people from the USA and also to people from Brazil and Spain.
Languages are my greatest passion and I put a lot of work into teaching other people although I don't always have a lot of time available, mostly weekends and afternoon.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is focused mostly on the Grammar and from there I help the student building sentences. I also create Word documents with hyperlinks, videos and graphics so the student can memorize better verbs, articles, or even way of saying through a small comic sketch from a website. I always ask the student what is the best way for him/her to memorize and from there I build my work. I highly encourage the student to create sentences after we are done with the class of the day.
