Hi everyone!
My name is Silvia, I am an English teacher from Italy and foreign languages are my passion.
I would like to be your English tutor and help you reach your goal! :)
Whether you need English for work or your studies, for travel or just because you aren't confident and you are afraid to make mistakes during conversations I am here to make you improve!
I graduated in Speech-Language Pathology in 2017 and, after that, I have successfully taken the CELTA course.
Some of my hobbies are: watching movies, art and travelling. I love meeting new people from all over the world and getting to know more about their cultures as well.
If you have further questions please write to me! :)
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I would describe myself as passionate, understanding and patient.
I have taught both online and in-person classes to students of different ages, levels and purposes.
I have experience both in teaching general English and in Cambridge exam preparation (KET, PET, FCE).
I also translated English subtitles into Italian for two years (2016-2018).
My lessons & teaching style
I make engaging lessons, in which the students can both have fun and practice the new language.
I believe that the teacher shouldn't talk more than the students and I also believe that PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. This is why I focus on written but especially on spoken practice of the new language that we see or revise together during my lessons.

Silvia is great. She is attentive, patient, helps me formulate sentences without interupting but giving me a chance. We also go over grammer points with exercises that get me to use the grammar points too. This is been extremely helpful to me.

Silvia has been a very big help in my journey with learning Italian, her patience, versatility and understanding sets her apart from other teachers.
There's good variety with her teaching, During conversation she'll take notes to revise your mistakes afterwards at the end of your session and if you want a more technical lesson she'll use exercise lessons for the area of the language you want to improve with.
If you have difficulty in an area, she'll tailor your next lesson to focus more on those difficulties if you let her know in advance.
Overall I had a great experience and would easily recommend her as a teacher

I’ve been taking conversational lessons with Silvia to practice my Italian speaking. Silvia is very easy to talk to and very supportive - she made me feel at ease very quickly and is really kind and helpful. She listens out for and corrects my mistakes when we have finish talking so the conversations still flow very well but I get the help that I need to improve. I would recommend Silvia to anyone looking to improve their Italian skills.

Silvia "meets me where I am" in terms of what I am doing well and encouraging and correcting me. She has been great so far, reviewing some points and engaging me in conversatation to get me to use the points. My problem is fear and speaking and she is definintely helping with that.
