About Me
italki teacher since Jul 13, 2020InterestsMusicReadingArt
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

Luca uses a conversational style to teach Italian. He's very engaged and attentive. He helped me prepare for my trip to Italy while also building a strong foundation in grammar and vocabulary. Highly recommended.
