If you don't find the slot you want, feel free to message me, we can sort it out!
I'm a literary translator and teacher with a passion for helping people reach their goals! You bring your dreams and drive, I bring the tools and guidance to help make your linguistic journey a success. I love reading, travelling, art, history, and nerdy stuff and I'm more than happy to chat about anything under the sun if it gives you the motivation to learn.Me as a Teacher
I tailor each and every course for my students, to make sure it provides what they need and keeps them motivated. We'll assess your learning style and your goals in our first meeting and we can adjust along the way if something changes or doesn't work as promised. I have experience with students of different ages and educational backgrounds and I can adapt to your circumstances and teach you how to reach your full potential.
Disclaimer: if you book a lesson and don't attend, you still occupy a slot of my time, so I will usually demand payment for the missed lesson. Exceptions are sometimes made for long-time students in case of emergencies. My lessons & teaching style
I provide the materials for our lessons myself, or we can find a suitable book for your level if you so desire. Typically, I try to find content related to your interests, job or studies online to minimize the expanse outside your lessons and keep it interesting. Teaching style changes with every student, depending on their learning style; what stays the same is my dedication to keeping the lesson friendly, informal and upbeat. A positive attitude and respectful environment go a long way! I might be a teacher but I'm not here to mark your papers, we are on this journey together.My teaching material

Delightful introductory meeting with clear goal-setting and a sprinkling of useful vocabulary. I'm looking forward to beginning my Italian-learning journey with Fely!

I liked that Fely asked me questions about my own work which makes it easier for me and more relevant to answer, and is good practice for me professionally to have to remember or learn the words most relevant to my work.

Fely is challenging, but in a very good way! I've really learned a lot since I've been working with her.

Fely is very good at explaining grammar, and doing it almost all in Italian, which actually really helps with learning vocabulary as well as learning grammar.
