About Me
italki teacher since Jun 28, 2020InterestsTravelWritingScience
I am a twenty years experienced Language Teacher, Lecturer and Researcher.
I got graduated for “Albanian language and literature” in 1997 at Shkodra University. In 2006 I got the tittle “Master” and in 2012 the tittle “Doctor in Science” in linguistics, at Tirana University, Albania. Since 2004 I am an Albanian language teacher (at a high school) and an assistant professor (part – time) at Shkodra University.
In 2017 I am awarded with the National Prize: "The teacher of the Year in Innovation", Albania.
I am member of the Albanian Scientific Women Network since 2017.
I am a Certified Trainer for teachers since 2018.
Author of a monograph, Co-author of 15 books in the Educational Field.Me as a Teacher
In October 2017 I won the National Prize “The teacher of the year in Innovation”, a competition organized by MAS (Albanian Ministry of Education) & ACCE (Albanian Coalition for Education).
I consider myself very fortunate because I have had outstanding teachers, professors, colleagues, who believed in me and encouraged me to go ahead.
During the 20 years of teaching at a high school and university (part time) I have always directed my students toward critical thinking.
My aim is: To teach to my pupils with heart, belief, knowledge, desire, passion to evolve their critical thinking.”
My motto is: “My pupils will be better than I am, My pupils will remember me as I remember my teachers.”My lessons & teaching style
I love teaching and I enjoy techniques which can be used to engage pupils. As a coauthor in several exercise books for children 7-12 years old I can apply a lot of language exercises and ways to practice our Albanian language.
These workbooks are attractive, practical and enjoyable for children.
I am also a coauthor of the book “Language teaching through the creative and interactive activities” (2013), which includes 101 language games.My teaching material

I've been studying with Irida for over a year now and I can see my Albanian dramatically improving. Today, Irida gave me an Albanian test where she tested my reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. As a teacher, Irida works to understand what level you are at and build a real curriculum to enhance your abilities. Studying with Irida is the closest thing I've found to having a formal education in Albanian. I highly recommend studying with Irida, she has a sophisticated teaching style that will definitely help you.

Thank you so much Irida, I am making progress.
I wrote my first letter in Albanian for my dear teacher.
E dashur Irida,
Sot të gjithë mësuesit në Shqipëri festojnë këtë ditë me shumë lumturi.
Për këtë ditë të solla dicka, një poezi si dhuratë nga zemra
.
Unë jam një nga nxënëset e tua, çdo të mërkurë mësoj me ty gjëra të reja.
Gjuha shqipe është nga më të vështirat
Unë nuk mendoj
Por me ty, rasa, koha, e trajta bëhen më të thjeshta.
Pas dimrit vjen pranvera
E pak nga pak e kuptova
Duket se shpjegimet e tua janë si magji
Të falënderoj nga zemra
Edhe të uroj Gëzuar Ditën e Mësuesit nga Franca!

There were new words and new grammatical concepts this lesson but even though a lot of it was new Irida helped me through it the same way she always does and took time to explain anything I didn‘t understand. We also did exercises so I could immediately use thw new concepts and see how they work in practice! :) wonderful lesson as always
