About Me
italki teacher since Mar 6, 2020InterestsEnvironment & NatureTravelScience
Hi everyone, I am Sonia from Italy. I studied in the South of Italy, in Naples and Salerno, where I got a Bachelor's degree in Digital Communication and a Master's degree in Communication and Language studies. I love traveling and meeting people from all over the world. I am passionate about Social Science, Web Mining and Crime Studies.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English, French, Italian and Neapolitan for years. I am attentive, patient, friendly and fun. Positive emotions play a key role in learning, so during my classes I always try to create a positive and comfortable environment and boost my students' confidence.My lessons & teaching style
During my lessons we are going to focus on what you really need, for this reason I usually provide my students with clear learning goals and a considerable amount of learning materials. I strongly believe that the process of learning a new language requires you to get familiar with all the linguistic skills: writing, speaking, listening, reading, and grammar. I hope to meet you soon.My teaching material

I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again — Sonia is the best. At the end of each lesson I feel I know more about the world than I did previously — and of course more Italian! Since starting my lessons with Sonia, I've noticed a profound difference in how I think and speak in Italian. She articulates herself very clearly and intelligently, and it helps me do the same. Thank you so much Sonia for your dedication and lesson prep!

Sonia is a highly professional teacher, but above all she is engaging and very encouraging. She created a fantastic learning journal for us to use together on google docs. She used exercises, grammar sheets, and authentic materials like songs to teach in a very effective way. I enjoyed my hour spent learning Napoletano with her and look forward to our next lesson.

Not only do we work on improving my Italian, I also get to learn so much about Italy when studying with Sonia. Today we talked about some very interesting things about Naples. Sotto Napoli c’è un’altra citta. I had no idea! Once again, thank you, Sonia!

Meeting with Sonnia for over a year now which has been the best Italian learning experience I’ve ever had. She always has new things to teach and are sessions always feel too short. I’m very grateful to have found her here as I’ve learned so much.
