Hello everyone,
I am Carmine, a professional teacher! I am 38 years old and live in Salerno.
I love football and going to the gym. As maybe all Italians, I love pizza and pasta. I love travelling and getting to know other cultures... I have been to many countries so far: England, Germany, Spain, Czech Republic and Japan. I loved all of them! I love teaching because when I teach I share with my students what I love and I know. That makes me feel very proud of myself and my country.
I have got two university degrees, in Journalism and foreign languages, and the CEDILS certificate, which is a certification of competence in teaching Italian as a foreign language.Me as a Teacher
I came to teach quite by chance. I bumped into a job advert and send through my cv. Unexpectedly, they gave me an interview, which went well so I flew to UK to teach Italian. That was incredible. Since then, I have been specialising in teaching. I have a university degree in science communication, specialises in journalism and I am at the second year of a second degree in languages and foreigh cultures, specialises in English and Spanish.I have got the CEDILS certification which is a certification of competence in teaching Italian as a foreign language or second language. I have also got C1/2 level proficiency certificates in English, Spanish and Japanese (CAE, DELE C2, JLPT2).My lessons & teaching style
I like to teach in a communicative way. That means that the student will immerse himself in a situation, which will be different for each didactic unit and will interact and work on all the aspects of the language, that is: the grammar, the lexicon, the listening, the pronunciation and the culture.
I will provide you grammar and student book before the lesson and give to you exercises at the end of it so as to allow you to revise and acquire what you learnt.
My lessons will adjust to your needs and desires. You just need to tell me what you need or wish to do and I will shapre the lesson in a way that will allow you to reach your goals.My teaching material

Italian and Spanish tutorI was the teacher of Italian and Spanish for children of an age between 15 and 19 years old in an English boarding school. The lessons were for students from several countries, so generally they were in English and in the language to learn. The lessons were group sessions or one-to-one sessions, 9 lessons per week(7 of Italian). The level of Italian taught was beginner, intermediate and advanced. The level of Spanish and Japanese was beginner. I had 10 Italian students altogether

Personable, good communicator. He's perfect for me. I've been on Duolingo forever and hit a ceiling. Carmine is a great choice if you're in the same boat as me.

Today was my first lesson with Carmine. He was patient when I did not understand the directions and provided me with ample feedback. His lesson was fast paced for a short period of time, but I need this challenge in order to improve my acquistion of the Italian language. I look forward to working with him again for the next few weeks.
