About Me
italki teacher since Jul 10, 2018Interest topicPets & AnimalsHistoryArtFoodTravel
Hi everybody! I’m Alessandra and I'm currently living in Portugal, trying to learn Portuguese. I 'm Italian, from a small village close to Venice. I've lived for almost 8 years in Barcelona and, previously, I’ve lived in Dublin and Bordeaux and in my beloved Venice, where I’ve got a Master degree in History of Art.
I love traveling, trekking, reading, cooking, spending time with friends and meeting new people, learning foreign languages. I’ve travelled around South East Asia for few months, I’ve visited some places in Central America and Middle East. When I have some free time, the thing I love the most is getting my backpack and leave for a new destination.Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching Italian, English and French since five years; I teach kids, teenagers and adults, also to business professionals. I’ve obtained the certifications DITALS (Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language) and TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).
My interest for foreign languages was born long time ago and this passion has grown deeper and deeper over the years, becoming a real job.My lessons & teaching style
Normally I adopt a communicative approach, based on providing students with the right tools to be able to interact in different contexts. My classes also aim to explore grammar, lexical and linguistic aspects and I also give some cultural insights.
I agree in advance with my students the contents and the objectives that will be develop during our lessons and I personally look for material which can be useful and at the same time interesting for them. I always try to motivate my students to do their best and I invite them to compare the language and culture taught to their original background.
I prepare students for Official English and Italian Exams (KET, PET, FCE; CILS, PLIDA, CELI).My teaching material

Ho adorato la classe di Ale, è molto dinamica e ha subito colto il mio livello e ha iniziato a lavorare sulle mie esigenze. Mi ha fornito materiale didattico e mi ha dato appunti attraverso la chat. Consiglio le sue lezioni senza dubbio! Grazie Ale!
