About Me
italki teacher since Apr 7, 2020Me as a Teacher
I am great lover of languages and I graduated in Tourism with the highest grades.
I ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE... even if it is totally different from your mother tongue.
I know it because I'm also studying Hindi and over time I realized that two things really matter:
1) WE SHOULD NEVER BE AFRAID OF MAKING MISTAKES.
Here in Italy there is a saying: "Sbagliando s'impara".
Mistakes are always great opportunities.
2) THE METHOD.
In every study session there must be everything: Grammar (essential to be able to express yourself), then Reading, Conversation, Listening and a lot of Creativity.! My lessons & teaching style
I LOVE TEACHING AS MUCH AS I LOVE LEARNING and I believe that everyone has something to give.
I can't wait to meet you and as you can see I have the first lesson at the symbolic price of 1$ where we will have the opportunity to get to know each other better.
In the first lesson I'll create a Porfolio dedicated to each of you in which I will write down info on your needs, preferences and above all passions, so that the lessons are always personalized for each student.
I thank you so much for being here, for giving you the opportunity to learn a new language which for me means TO OPEN UP TO THE WORLD.
Thank you again and a big hug.5.0

Marlene is such a lovely person. We laugh a lot during the lesson and time flies. We continued with household activities, prepositions and articles. I learned a lot, but never had the impression to "be at school", but rather to sit with a friend in a café. Thank you for this focused but relaxed learning style.

Marlene structures the class with time for conversation and homework review. The homework is great for learning new topics and grammar. Each lesson gives an opportunity to listen, speak, and review written homework. Marlene is an excellent teacher I highly recommend her.

I feel so lucky that I picked Marlene for my first italki experience. She explains things well, and I always feel comfortable asking for clarification for anything I’m not clear on. And she continues to be patient with me getting used to the technology we use for remote lessons. Grazie, Marlene, for another great lesson. 😊
