About Me
italki teacher since Jul 13, 2020Interest topicMusicReadingArt
Hi! thanks for visiting my page!
I am a professional English and Italian language teacher with over 5 years' experience teaching students from all around the world.
I am very creative and curious, always excited about meeting new students and engage in interesting conversations. I always try to design a lesson around the learner's needs and focus on the areas to improve.
I am very passionate about languages but I also love writing fiction, painting and playing the guitar. I am interested in various subjects from art to politics, from cinema to sport and culture.Me as a Teacher
I believe teaching should be fun, stimulating and inspiring. I plan my lessons in order to offer a variety of creative and exciting activities, a perfect balance of conversation, writing and listening. I also believe that the student should be made comfortable in order to express themselves and gain confidence with their spoken fluency.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are focused on vocabulary and spoken fluency but we'll practise the four skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. I apply to the lessons a variety of methods and activities such as role plays, projects, games. At the end of the lesson I always provide feedback and clarification on emerging vocabulary or new expressions.My teaching material

i had a great time on thursday with luca. we chatted about my weekend plans, and we learned more about the “condizionale” tense. he also helped me with some conjugations i was struggling with, and overall after leaving the lesson i feel a bit more comfortable with speaking italian in basic conversation.

My lesson number 47 with Luca as teacher 😊 and as always it was interactive, fun, on-time and all that. But most of all Luca is friendly and professional and very helpful when I try my best to find the correct words in Italian or English. My favorite italian teacher 😊
