Vocabulary Development - Italian Tutors & Teachers

Hi everyone! I am a native speaker of Italian, born and raised in a small town in the north-east of Italy, near beautiful Venice. I can relate well with my students, as I am also always trying to learn new languages and I know how frustrating it can be sometimes! Because of that, my number one priority is to really understand what my students needs are, so that they can improve and feel super confident about the language they are learning. If I was able to learn different foreign languages, YOU can do it too! I will teach you all the techniques that helped me and are still helping me, when I am learning a language. I started teaching in 2001 and never stopped ever since. I have experience teaching Italian, English and French in different settings. In the past, I taught in state funded schools in England (GCSEs and ‘A’ levels), in private international schools, in foreign languages schools, but also privately, and I am currently teaching in a private foreign languages school in Valencia, Spain. I have experience teaching: Italian, English, and French to children, teen-agers and adults of different nationalities (including British, American, French, Spanish, Italian and many others).  Where did I study to become a teacher and a translator/interpreter? I have a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE for Italian and French) from the University of Cumbria (UK) and a Master's degree in Professional Translation (English > Italian) from Swansea University (UK), as well as a B.A. (Hons) in Translation and Interpreting from Scuola Universitaria Per Mediatori Linguistici di Vicenza (Tertiary Institution for Translators and Interpreters of Vicenza, Italy).  How do I know what my students need? When I first meet my students, I always ask what their goals are, so that I can base my lessons on those and I can make sure I cater for all their needs. I am happy changing my teaching style based on my students and what suits them better. I can teach every important aspect of the Italian language. My lessons can be based on speaking, listening, writing, reading, grammar, and culture or it can just focus on one specific aspect.  What can I help you with? - Exams, tests and assignments or I can help you in the areas you find more challenging during your Italian lessons at school or university, - work presentations or any other business-related material, - being able to survive in the real world, if you are planning to go to Italy on vacation, for work or if you are planning to move there or already live there. I am also a translator and interpreter and if there are any other aspects of the language you would like to discover with me, I am always open to new challenges and projects. I cannot wait to teach you all very soon. Take care and ciao for now!

Hello everybody! My name is Giada, I’m a professional Italian teacher since 2011 and I’ve been holding online lessons since 2015. Teaching Italian is not only my job, it’s my biggest passion! For this reason I obtained the best specialisations which attest to an advanced competence in didactics of Italian as a foreign language: - Dilit International House Diploma - Certification Ditals 2 awarded by the University for foreigners of Siena - 2nd level postgraduate Master Itals awarded by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, for which I wrote a thesis about e-learning. My professional experience comprehends children, adults and managers who study Italian for professional reasons. My teaching method is based on a comunicative approach, that allows the students to use actively the language since beginners level. You’re going to learn Italian with enthusiasm and motivation and every lesson you will improve and learn something new. We will work on all the aspects of the language: speaking, with pronunciation, fluency and intonation, listening, reading, grammar, vocabulary and everything you need! Moreover, If you are interested in Italian culture and art, I have a degree in History of Art and I will guide you through the wonders of Italy! I always try to customise my lessons, according on the needs and personalties of the students: in every lesson you’re finding something interesting and stimulating. We’re working with authentic materials, such as newspaper articles, movies and books extracts and anything that may interest you! I love using songs and games to go deeper in grammar or to learn new words, so if you like it too, we’re going to have great time together. The most important thing to me is that you find in my lessons a moment of fun and relax, to learn with no stress and to improve very quickly. If you want to learn Italian with a qualified teacher who loves her job, just go and book a first trial lesson with me!
