Carmela

I am a native Italian qualified secondary school teacher and university tutor with over twenty years' experience of teaching Italian and French at different levels. I am a passionate and friendly teacher, who loves to share the knowledge of the countries' cultures and languages with learners.

Tutoring Experience

I have been teaching Italian and French to students of all ages and levels in primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities and private companies for twenty years. I currently teach Italian and French to undergraduates and adults. I am also a GCSE moderator and have taught French up to iGCSE level in secondary schools for several years.

Tutoring Approach

I teach students how to communicate in the foreign language and help them to become independent learners and stay motivated in their studies. In my lessons I adopt a very friendly, student-centred approach, which focuses on students' needs, enhances their learning and encourages them to become more active. By using a wide variety of resources and adapting the material to the learners' purposes, I make lessons varied, effective and engaging.
