Über Mich

WHO AM I? I am bilingual, i.e. I've spoken both English and Italian and since I was born. I have always been interested in languages, and I am also trained in linguistics at the American University where I studied. I received my TEFL certificate in 2014 in France, and since I then, I've taught English and Italian through individual lessons and in schools. Currently, I work as a copyeditor and journalist for media in Catalonia.

WHAT IS MY EXPERIENCE? I started teaching English, French and Italian in 2007, at the beginning of my university studies. At that time, I worked for the university (MSUD in the United States, Colorado) giving classes. I got my Bachelor's degree in French linguistics and philology. I continued to teach privately (I taught all ages and all levels through the years), and in 2014, I also got my TEFL certificate for teaching English. More recently, I worked for the academy Callan School of English in Barcelona, ​Spain. Currently, I live in Barcelona, and I continue to give private lessons.

MY STUDENTS: I've been teaching since 2007, and, since the beginning, Içe created my own courses. In the United States, my students passed their classes, and students I trained in Barcelona attained their desired level.

WHY DO I TEACH? Growing up speaking two languages ​​and after having learned three others, I believe deeply in the fact that languages ​​can bring a lot not only to the professional life of my students, but also that speak several languages ​​brings a lot to people's lives.

HOW WILL YOU LEARN WITH ME? During the 10 years that I gave English and Italian lessons, I concentrated on:
- pronunciation
- conversation
- writing and grammar
- culture
I've found that English teaching In Italy, France, Spain, and elsewhere tend to focus on writing and grammar, and people often aren't taught speaking nor with subjects they're interested in. My lessons are focused on conversation, but with reading material and/or media, along with visual and/or listening material in the student's area of ​​interest (sports, culture, politics, travel, etc.)
