I am Italian and I have lived abroad for many years. I lived in Spain, Ireland and the UK. I enjoy travelling, reading, and anjoying life. I am passionate about languages, education and teaching to different levels. I have been teaching for many years and I will never be tired of it. I worked at the University of Exeter, where I studied applied translation and qualified to teach in secondary schools. I am patient, well-prepared and I have experience with all exam boards and also worked as an Edexcel examiner. I love my job also because I learn so much from my students and I cannot think of a more rewarding career than teaching.
I have considerable experience teaching Italian and Spanish to (I)GCSE, A level and IB diploma (ab initio and B level). I also taught Italian at the University of Exeter and Universuty College of Dublin. I believe that my academic background and my wealth of teaching experience in the UK and overseas, makes me a strong, reliable and effective Tutor.
I strive to make my lessons effective and engaging by fostering critical thinking skills. I ensure that my students are directly involved in their own learning process. My objectives are to facilitate the acquisition of lifelong learning skills, to help students develop problem-solving strategies, and to prepare them to function as highly skilled and competent speakers of another language. I use real resouces and I like to embed my lessons with the cultural element. I train my students for the 4 language skills and I taylor my lessons to their needs and requirements. I love teaching grammar, as fundamental to manipulate the language.
