I'm not only a language teacher: I'm also a language learner, an artist, and a musician! I like teaching Italian to foreigners because I get to know incredible people with interesting things to tell.
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a student of languages myself, I know that speaking the target language with a native speaker since the start is the best way to progress faster; I also know that a relaxed and informal atmosphere is vital to learn effectively, because our brains work much better when not under pressure.
I will use Italian as much as possible and, most importantly, I will make YOU use Italian as much as possible, even if you are a beginner.
However, sometimes clarity is necessary so we can also use English and French - and I still remember a little bit of Norwegian and Swedish!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
PROFESSIONAL LESSONS
We will mainly use a book and some extra PDF files with all types of activities: reading, listening, grammar, speaking, etc. If you do some homework, I will correct it for you before the next class.
CONVERSATION PRACTICE / INFORMAL TUTORING
This is for you if you study on your own, mainly with your own material, and want to have conversation practice, reading practice, corrections during class, etc.

Reschedule and cancellation: if you need to reschedule or cancel a lesson, please do it at least 24 hours in advance. I won't accept rescheduling or canceling with a shorter notice, which means the lesson will be marked as completed even if you can't attend.

One of the best things about Celeste is that she has never (in well over 100 lessons) made me feel uncomfortable or embarrassed when I make up Italian words! She’s so professional but also warm and friendly. Every lesson is enjoyable.

I've had a few lessons now with Celeste and she is a joy to work with.
Patient, gentle, funny and I feel my Italian is advancing all down to her tutelage.
The hour goes by so fast and that's all because she makes her lessons fun, rewarding an an overall positive experience.
I cannot recommend her enough!

I think Celeste is excellent at her job. I started out with her as a complete beginner and after a few months in total I'm already at an intermediate level. She really knows how to adapt the lessons according to needs/preferences/level etc. She guides me through the necessary steps while focusing on what's important and interesting to me. Our lessons are never boring and we can talk about a wide array of subjects. She doesn't over correct when you first start out, instead she corrects gradually as your level improves and focuses on points we've already touched on. It helps a lot that we speak the same languages as we can compare grammatical structures and she always finds a translation for vocab. Even when I say a word in Spanish by accident she always gets what I mean. Celeste loves languages and has an excellent understanding of Italian and how to teach it. If you're looking for a kind and professional teacher I definitely recommend her!
