I recently graduated from university with a degree in Spanish and Italian. I au paired for a month in Spain and have done a year abroad in Italy. The language can be taught at a basic level, conversational level or fluent. Revision sessions are also available for those who wish for a grammar or short conversation to practice.

I have experience teaching in both environments online and in person. I taught English in an Italian high school for a year during the coronavirus pandemic helping ages 14-19 and levels A1-C2 (beginner-advanced). I arranged activities online and in person games also.

I often like to use power point presentations or prezi to teach then follow up with activities and quizzes as a way to improve the learning with platforms such as kahoot. This can be done in person and online using platforms like zoom.

Each lesson and activity will created at a personal level to each individual to aid whichever way they learn best . If that be by practice, listening, visual images or reading. The lessons will also cater to each level at hand and progress advancing with time to higher levels.

Grammar and culture lessons will be provided in the language and it will be the students choice as to what is taught. Choices will be offered and the next topic can be chosen in each lesson to create suspense and excitement for the next session. If there is a specific desired topic I can prepare a lesson on this also.
