CELTA certified English Teacher with 6 years of experience. I also teach Italian, my mother tongue. 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! :) 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). 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 was patient and helped me begin this new journey. I feel confident that she will move me further along in my quest to speak Italian with more confidence. My dream is to be able to speak with confidence when we visit my wife's cousins in Conversano this fall.

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

Silvia è un insegnante fantastica: paziente, disponibile e sempre attenta alle mie difficoltà o alle mie domande. Mi piace molto il suo metodo, perché utilizza ciò che abbiamo imparato durante gli esercizi per poi metterlo in pratica attraverso conversazioni reali. Questo mi aiuta tantissimo a sentirmi più sicuro nel parlare inglese. Sono davvero felice di averla come insegnante!

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.
