About Me
italki teacher since Aug 25, 2020
Hey there,
My name is Silva, born and raised in Albania but currently living in Italy where I study Data Science, with a focus on analyzing natural languages.
I am a person of diverse interests ranging from anthropology, history, linguistics ( I can speak about 5 languages to a certain extent and my goal is to be fluent in 10), religion, economics, politics, artificial intelligence etc. For many years I traveled mainly across Europe and the US working in a variety of cultural projects and teaching English to many people. I have 5+ years of teaching experience and almost 2 in Itlaki.
Looking forward to meeting you! :)

Me as a Teacher
Teaching experience:
- Online English teaching for 5+ years
- Trained high school level students for international debates in public speaking in English
- TEFL certification
- Taught Albanian to foreign volunteers in Albania.
I am a very patient and adaptive teacher. We can figure out a way to adjust to your learning goals and focus on what you need to practice/improve.
My lessons & teaching style
This would really depend on the student.
If you are a beginner, I do agree grammar and a vast vocabulary are very important, but I strongly think that the best way to learn a foreign language is as children usually do - by speaking a lot, even things that aren't necessarily coherent and perfect.
If you are intermediate/ advanced or you need to build academic English/Albanian skills, we can work with academic articles, papers, books even do some fun classes in which we analyze movies and podcasts.

Teacher’s pick
Silva has a teaching method that is very logical, and structured and makes it to pick up the language.
Another great upside is the fact that the lessons are personalised based on your learning style and pace and are entirely made by her, not books that just spurt out grammar at you.
Also, super patient and available. Definitely recommended :)

Silva is a fantastic teacher that is really helping expand my vocabulary. She is enthusiastic and also very structured in her approach which is great for those coming from an English speaking background.
Silva has helped to explain ‘why’ you say certain things in Albanian which don’t have equivalents in English which I found particularly helpful.
Thanks again!

Silva is so organized and her explanations are so clear! If you're considering Albanian lessons, RUN, don't walk (virtually) and start learning with her! In 30 minutes, we looked at 2 common irregular verbs, negation, "this" in the nominative and accusative by gender, and adverbs of frequency, including practice. Homework is specific, pointed to the lesson and reasonable in terms of length. My motivation builds with every class with Silva.

Silva is very nice and competent. She compared the rules of the Albanian language with those of the two languages I already know, to make them clearer to me. I'll definitely book more classes with her!

I absolutely loved my first lesson with Silva, her energy, the way she delivered the lesson, and her detailed explanations made it such an enjoyable experience for me. She reassured me through my nervousness and kept me fully engaged. Highly recommended teacher. Faleminderit Silva!
