I have a Master degree in Modern Languages and I have been teaching Italian for more than 20 years. I have a deep knowledge of all the language related teaching methods and experience in using them properly. During those years I have developed a method for which all my students are able to speak fluent Italian and understand it properly. This is because the core of the lesson is building up confidence in speaking Italian. Students, therefore, are able to reach the highest marks at their exams. I am well acquainted with all the requirements from the different examination board. Professional students also improve their work - related performances because I only use authentic materials related to their profession. Many of my students learn Italian to engage their free time in an intellectually stimulating activity; being able to express idea or comment current news in Italian is a very strong weapon to improve confidence and stimulate brain. I also connect with my students, almost, daily via technical devices as WhatsApp in which we exchange information, news, gossip, songs.
