Tutoring Experience

My journey as an Italian tutor began 7 years ago after earning my degree in Italian Literature. Initially teaching in language schools, I developed a strong foundation in instructing both beginners and advanced students. Over the years, I’ve specialized in IB Italian, supporting students across various levels. My experience includes preparing students for IB exams, ensuring they develop not just language skills but also a deep appreciation for Italian culture. I’ve consistently seen my students achieve high marks and grow in confidence. My adaptable teaching approach allows me to meet each student's specific needs, fostering their love for the Italian language and culture.

Tutoring Approach

I believe in creating a dynamic, interactive learning environment where students feel at ease expressing themselves in Italian. My lessons are tailored to individual needs, focusing on building linguistic proficiency alongside cultural understanding. By incorporating a variety of teaching materials—authentic Italian texts, multimedia resources, and real-life conversations—I bring the language to life. I emphasize practical usage alongside grammar and vocabulary, ensuring students can confidently use Italian in any context. My goal is to make learning Italian a rewarding and enriching experience, equipping students with the skills and passion to excel.
