I see language learning as a very academic and scientific matter and, as I am a lifelong language learner myself, I know what kind of difficultries you might encounter during your path, but I am ready to step in and sort it out the funniest and the most interesting way ever.

Teaching is one of my true lifelong passions. After graduating with honors in English and Spanish Language and Literature at the University of Bologna and receiving a CELTA pass A, I have taught for fifteen years to all levels and age groups. I have experienced the public and private school systems in Italy and Mexico, where I taught both language and literature. I am an enthusiastic person and as a teacher I would describe myself as competent, energetic and fun (at least so they say!). I am also very patient and I try to find the right approach for every student, so they can make the most of our classes and feel satisfied with their progress.

As I said before, I know how hard its to learn a new language, especially all by yourself. I know from experience that having conversations is the easier way to learn a new language. But we can also use some books and worksheets. We'll have a very relaxed environment. Come ho già detto precedentemente, so quant'è difficile imparare una nuova lingua, specialmente da soli. So per esperienza che avere conversazioni è il modo più semplice per imparare una lingua. Ma possiamo usare anche libri e schede per rendere la lezione più semplice.

Con una madrelingua, l'italiano è più facile! Parla con sicurezza fin dal primo giorno. 🇮🇹 Da tempo ho l'opportunità di aiutare persone provenienti da tutto il mondo ad imparare questa bellissima lingua. Ciò mi ha permesso di sviluppare un forte interesse nella didattica della mia lingua madre e sono entusiasta di vedere i progressi dei miei alunni. Alcuni di loro sono diventati anche amici, il che rende l'esperienza ancora più gratificante.

I have started teaching Italian when I was in China and I had to learn to teach to students whose mother tongue was completely different from mine, both in the grammar structure and the pronunciation. Despite these difficulties I found out I really enjoyed teaching Italian and my students surprised me with their progression!

Francesca Iosa
Insegnante e Esaminatrice CELI con oltre 10 anni di esperienza Mi considero un'insegnante molto paziente e pronta all'ascolto.Sono specializzata nell'insegnamento dell'italiano a giovani e adulti, ma nei miei anni di insegnamento ho avuto studenti di tutti i livelli: dal livello A1 fino al C2. Sono un'esaminatrice CELI: conduco la prova orale degli esami CELI. Solitamente durante la prima lezione cerco di determinare il livello dello studente per poi approfondire le motivazioni e i bisogni che lo hanno portato allo studio dell'italiano. Le mie lezioni non saranno mai generiche ma saranno costruite esattamente sui bisogni dell'apprendente.

I have been a French, English and Italian private teacher and tutor for people of all ages for the past five years, both in Italy, France, Brazil and California. Since I was a kid, the language learning process always fascinated me. Furthermore, my sympathy towards refugees and immigrants' cause enhanced even more my passion for language teaching, the pillar of societal integration. Thanks to the diversity of my students, I have become easily adaptable to my students' needs and interests. Furthermore, my advanced knowledge of five languages (Italian, French, English, Portuguese and Spanish) facilitates communication with my students and maximizes their learning potential.

The path to proficiency by a Polyglot teacher: Italian, Español, English, Français, 日本語, Português.. I'm very open-minded and empathy is my strong point, I always appreciate my student's mistakes, yes mistakes! Because it means effort to put yourself in the game, not giving up even though you made a mistake. I think understanding that is the path of language proficiency. Je suis très ouverte d'esprit et l'empathie est mon point fort, j'apprécie toujours les erreurs de mes étudiants. Cela signifie un effort de se mettre dans le jeu. Je pense que c'est la clé pour maîtriser une langue étrangère. Ich bin sehr aufgeschlossen, und Einfühlungsvermögen ist meine Stärke. Ich weiß die Fehler meiner Schüler immer zu schätzen. Ich denke, das zu verstehen, ist der Weg zur Fremdsprachenkompetenz.
