My name's Vanessa. I run my own business as a freelance translator + English, Italian, French, Spanish online teacher. I am also a certified TEFL teacher and BE teacher.
While working ft in Accounting dept and then in Marketing dept, I got 2 Master's degrees in Translation, and could make my biggest wish come true :) I specialized in several fields - medical, business, marketing, web - in English, Spanish and French.
As a 'language learner', I've tried out myself both traditional and non-traditional methods and, as a teacher, I also create language courses for A to C levels.
Me as a Teacher
***FOR ENGLISH ONLY: as a certified TEFL teacher, I can issue ENGLISH CERTIFICATES to my students indicating your level and the number of hours of study. Please text me beforehand if you need to get certified.***
I guess that because of my job, I'm quite detail-oriented, but because of my personal life, I'm quite flexible. So I think both of these characteristics are present in my teaching style.
I always try to give solutions and to suggest strategies and tips. I usually stick to the objective and do my best to help you keep high motivation levels. Also, I give mistakes great importance. I guess they are part of the learning process and they're key to go to the next level.

I offer laid-back and (hopefully!) inspiring chats. My lessons are based on everyday dialogues, where YOU will be talking 90% of the time.
We can use specific teaching materials or just improvise. I don't think you can learn a language by using traditional academic methods, that's why I offer flexible lessons starting from practical situations; however, they're always rooted in grammar and real language at the same time. In my lessons, theory goes with practice.

Vanessa è un insegnate molto preparata, ti mette a tuo agio e le sue lezioni le trovo molto efficaci per imparare una nuova lingua, molto pratica non con i soliti metodi.

Vanessa is so knowledgeable about translation and all of the languages she speaks! I improved three languages during one session! I look forward to our next one :)

I learn so much from Vanessa every session. She is definitely helping get more comfortable with speaking out loud in French. On top of that she is such a nice and lovey person!
