Im Elena, an an Italian professor. I am passionate about teaching my language and culture, teaching fills me with positive energy!
I have been teaching Italian since 2011 to all profiles of students: children, university students, adults, businessmen, and migrants. I received a high-level certificate from the University of Siena to teach Italian.
In my free time (if there is any ;) ), I love watching historical series, drawing and learning new languages. I am an active and curious person.
I have experience in teaching italian for several purposes:
-Tourism= the focus is onthe vocabulary needed to survive during a journey to Italy.
-University: classes are centred on culture, history, literature, etc
-business: vocabulary on conversation with customers, writing emails, presenting a project, etc
-work: adapting to a a new life in Italy: looking for an apartment, apply for a visa, learn about the national health system, and more!
What my students say about me:
-"The instructor is super friendly, helpful and kind. she puts in a lot of effort and is always available for the students. She explains well and the syllabus makes sense in terms of the order of the new things we learn. I am able to connect the dots and enhance my knowledge of the language and the culture".
-"the best thing in this course is our professor because she is Italian and has answers to all my questions. I already know Spanish, Turkish, Latin and French but because of her, I learned Italian faster that the other languages. Because of her professional teaching, I was able to get the full experience, I really enjoy this course".
