Daniela

Hello everyone! I'm Daniela, Italian mother tongue. I have lived in different countries Italy, Germany, Emirates and Spain where I currently live. This multicultural journey brought me closer to studying languages, which has always been one of my passions as well as a means to integrate myself into a new culture. I started by teaching Italian to children, giving Italian tuition and helping them with their homework. Over time, I started teaching adults with different backgrounds. I got the CLTA certification by International House London. It has been an intense but also exciting experience where I learned not only to use teaching platforms appropriately and creatively, but also to create the lessons step by step, according to criteria and parameters already tested for effective learning. My lessons are prepared from time to time and adapted to the needs and interests of the student, enriched by video, audio and material in which the student has an active and participatory role. For example, in the study of grammar, which is often the least "exciting" part of a language, I like to provide input to the student, creating a process whereby the student is able to deduce the grammar rule independently. During the lessons or if requested, we can converse and discuss topics of general interest, or take a cue from reality to set up the lessons. All in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
