ITALIAN TEACHER BARBARA

HELLO EVERYONE! ARE YOU READY TO BOOST YOUR ITALIAN? I AM A NATIVE SPEAKER WITH PREVIOUS TEACHING EXPERIENCE; I TEACH PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, AND I AM READY TO HELP YOU WHETHER YOU ARE A BEGINNER, AN INTERMEDIATE OR AN ADVANCED STUDENT. MY TEACHING METHOD IS TAILOR-MADE AND VARIES ACCORDING TO MY STUDENTS' LIKES, DISLIKES, BEST ABILITIES, AND GOALS THEY ARE WILLING TO REACH. WE NORMALLY SPEAK A LOT, WATCH VIDEOS, READ BOOKS, STUDY GRAMMAR AND DO A LOT OF EXERCISES TO IMPROVE THE LANGUAGE. I AM REALLY FOCUSED ON EACH STUDENT AND MY LESSONS ARE NEVER THE SAME! I have been teaching Italian for two and a half years. Before that, I used to teach mandarin in high school. I am a very friendly and easy-going person. My students tell me I am really patient but trust me, I really enjoy every minute of my classes, I am not patient! I believe in my students! With beginner students I normally use a textbook ( you can choose among many different titles and approaches! ) so that we also have many audio and video files available. With advanced students I like to read articles, to go deep into grammar with activities and exercises. We also watch videos sometimes and then discuss about them. Every lesson is the occasion to think deep about the language and the way it works, so that you can build your own ability to learn!
