Hi everyone!
I am Francisca, I have been teaching here on Italki for over five years now, so I have experience teaching beginner, intermediate and advanced level. I really like getting to know new people, cultures and lifestories. I grew up close to the capital of Norway, Oslo, and have lived most of my life in that area, I therefor have a very clear and easy to understand "bokmål" accent. I am also a certified preschool teacher and love working with children and youth.
I´ve been living in Pasto in the far south of Colombia for quite a while now, so I know a lot about getting used to a whole new culture and language.Me as a Teacher
I will always adapt my teaching acording to your needs and level. I consider myself patient and easy going. I try to build confidence in my students and think that it is trough trying, failing, and trying again that you learn best. I enjoy both a free conversation and a more stuctured lesson depending on the students needs and goals.My lessons & teaching style
I belive the most important aspect to improve your commuicative skills in a new language is through conversation, therefore this will be the main focus in our classes. We will talk about different topics that are of interest, such as news, cultures, likes and dislikes. We will also practice general common conversation topics that can be usefull to you. If you want to improve your writing or grammar skills, I can give you a hand by explaining grammar rules or by correcting written assignments.
My main goal is to create an atmosphere where you feel secure and where you can try and fail and try again!My teaching material

Just had my second session and feeling really positive and motivated, it's great to practice speaking and be able to check and correct words as I go, and Francisca is so clearly spoken and pleasant to speak to! Looking forward to my next session, I'll be revising my new words!

Francisca was excellent at making me feel comfortable at my level and giving me simple vocabulary and resources to start with. I felt very at ease but engaged while Francisca and I talked. I enjoyed the trial lesson so much that I immediately booked a longer lesson, I really feel Francisca will help me achieve my language goals while keeping the experience feeling natural, engaging and relaxed. I highly recommend you try a lesson with Francisca!
