About Me
italki teacher since Jun 8, 2018InterestsMusicFilms & TV SeriesHistoryReadingFood
I genuinely love being a teacher. It’s exciting and a little scary at the same time - after all, it’s a big responsibility. :)
I’ve taught in a variety of contexts and places. I worked as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Valencia, taught privately in Barcelona, and even taught primary school children in Fiji as part of a volunteering project. In Oxford, I taught Italian to some very brave souls who took on the challenge. These days, I’ve moved fully to italki, which I love for its flexibility and convenience.
I offer conversation practice, games, structured lessons, and tests, or a mix of everything—whatever helps you learn best. My classes are relaxed and conversational, but I’m always happy to adapt to your goals and learning style.
One video I truly consider my teaching bible is “5 Techniques to Speak Any Language” by Sid Efromovich (TEDxUpperEastSide). It’s inspiring and genuinely useful - highly recommended!
Above all, I adapt to my students; I don’t expect them to adapt to me. My only real requirement is seriousness, simply because I want you to make real progress and I don’t believe in wasting time. Suggestions and ideas for our classes are always welcome!My teaching material

Today's lesson was challenging and as every lesson has been much was discussed and new words and phrases were given for a short hour! Ivana was very thorough and took time to explain verb conjugation in much detail which is not small feat for the Italian language.

Today I had my first lesson with Ivana, one hour and a half lesson. I could tell a lot of things about Ivana, cute girl, friendly, well-mannered, puntual, attentive in everything you say, things that I appreciate a lot, but the main thing that I want to emphasise from her is that she surprised me very positively because she is young but very qualified/trained. She has a thing that I´ve only seen in a bit teachers. I can see that she was born to teach and she likes it very much. I can say that with knowledge because I´m a teacher, and if you can see the reviews of my profile, a good Spanish teacher, so I don´t exaggerate. Tomorrow we have a second lesson because I want to pass an oral exam (test). I´m looking forward to having a second lesson with her!!

You deserve 10000000000+ stars! Ivana does not only teach you English, she really wants to know you as a person, as a friend. She points out the mistakes I made when I am speaking, which is very important for me to improve. I am always chuffed speaking with her, our lessons are always full of laughter and we always had so much fun. She is so wonderful, I hate that I can't rate her higher!
