About Me
italki teacher since May 4, 2021InterestsReadingTravelFilms & TV SeriesAnimation & ComicsFood
Hi! I'm an Italian teacher coming from Northern-Italy.
I hold a Master's Degree in Foreign Languages and Cultural Tourism. I also hold the DITALS Certification granted by the University for Foreigners of Siena, which certifies the possession of theoretical and practical competences in teaching Italian as a second or foreign language.
I've been working as a teacher for years and I've worked with many kind of students with very different needs and background, from immigrants and teenagers to seniors and researchers.
In my spare time I mostly learn languages, read or cuddle my cat.Me as a Teacher
I am a friendly and enthusiastic teacher passionate about languages, teaching, and learning.
I have been learning languages for years and I know the struggle when it comes to memorizing new vocabulary, new grammar rules and pronouncing new sounds. Learning a language is an extraordinary journey, but I know that it is easy to get frustrated when the results do not tie in with our expectations.
I want my students to gain confidence in their ability of learning languages. I'm ready to share with you tips, methods, and tools, that I have discovered throughout my experience as a language learner and language enthusiast.My lessons & teaching style
My method to teach and learn languages is pretty simple: engaging in active learning activities as much as possible. This kind of activities are mentally demanding and cannot be sustained for long. However, their efficacy is remarkable. My students are active participants of the learning process, which becomes fun, challenging and extremely effective. I also believe that games can be super effective to learn languages, that's why I often play language games with my students.My teaching material

I am having so much fun! Lorenzo is a good nurturer as well as detailed instructor. He is allowing the Italian skills I have come in and adding to them as questions come up. Really super teacher!

It's always a great lesson with Lorenzo. This lesson we had plenty of time for conversation, as well as working through a reading and comprehension activity.

Lorenzo works to provide good offline study tools. I enjoy that the lessons and tips focus on conversation and not just cramming in information.

Grazie per la tua pazienza, Lorenzo! Penso che mi servirá molto tempo per apprendere le espressioni grammaticali corrette... Ma mi sono divertita molto oggi con il "ci" :))
