CILS - Insegnanti e tutor di lingua italiana

My lessons are 100% tailored to your learning approach and goals. I tend to use my material and create the learning experience just for you. My teaching method in a nutshell: Engaging targeted conversation: I give you visual or conversational inputs and we debate the topic Natural listening: I tell you stories of my everyday life as you were a friend of mine and I ask you to get the meaning of it Creative writing: thru writing you will take your Italian to the next level, no doubt about it! We will write stories together or you will write about your passions and life. Beginners: We will start from pronunciations rules and build together the basics that will let you become independent in making the firsts sentence. You will be encouraged to speak from day one. Intermediate students: If you are already conversational, we will instead focus on vocab building and verbal production (using Italian press articles, youtube videos, blogs..). Advanced students: The course aims at having you stepping out of your comfort zone and learn to speak as native. I will encourage you to use idioms and make your Italian sounds more natural. I also love to teach my culture; therefore we will often talk about Italian trends, traditions & lifestyle. I use Google Drive & Quizlet (a flashcard platform) during my classes: I usually teach on Skype, but I also have a few backups when it is not working. I am a certified teacher of Italian as a foreign language at the University of Venice, Italy and I regularly take refreshing courses on Italian teaching strategies delivered by the leading institutions in Italy. As for now, I am teaching online full time and love it. I also blog about Italian language & Italy at www.italianpills.com You can follow me on Facebook & Instagram https://www.facebook.com/ItalianLanguageCoaching/ https://www.instagram.com/everyday_italian/ ****Lateness****: If you are late I will wait for 15 minutes for you and we'll do the rest of the session until the end of the original time. If you do not show up you will be charged the full amount. **CANCELLATION** If you cancel 24 h before the lesson starts will be fully charged. Please be understanding that a late cancellation won't allow me to rearrange my schedule or to allocate another student Grazie :)

Hi there, My name is Alice, I am an experienced and certificated teacher. I have DITALS certification of the University of Siena that attests my competence in teaching Italian as a Foreign Language, with focus in the Adult Learners Profile. I have almost three years of experience in teaching Italian as a foreign language, to different learners (for age, interests, needs, levels, mother tongue). I do this job with professionality and passion. I'm from Orvieto, a little town in Umbria, and I live in Rome since many years. I love travelling and getting to know other cultures and languages; in fact, I spent two years in Brasil and six months in the USA. I can speak English, Portuguese, a bit of French and Spanish, and I studied ancient Greek and Latin in high school. Thanks to my knowledge of different languages, I am able to understand immediately the difficulty you are passing by and easily help you. I also believe that the comparison between similar linguistic structures could be very funny! My lessons will be designed on you, on your interests and needs. Indeed, I want the lesson to be fun and engaging for you...and, as a consequence, a lot more effective! Therefore, teaching materials will change according to each student’s need and will include Italian literature, films, songs...  We'll speak a lot, mostly in Italian, to practise the language, to be able to communicate, and also to extrapolate grammar rules starting from conversation. So it won't be a useless chat, but each speaking will have a clear didactic purpose. We will practice with a lot of exercises, then we'll correct them together to fix new grammar rules. I can help you to improve your Italian for the most different purposes, as a personal cultural interest, for the study of CILS or CELI certifications, or even for the trip you are planning to Italy! For any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me. I hope to hear from you soon and I look forward to starting our lessons! A presto! Ciao **Please note that the PRICE indicated is for INFORMAL TUTORING (conversation+correction+suggestions+grammar explanation) . If you want to do the STRUCTURED LESSONS(conversation+manual+exercises+homeworks+listenigs) the price is a bit more expensive. Contact me for informations about it and how to book it!** *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Ciao, sono Alice, sono un'insegnante di Italiano esperta e qualificata. Ho la certificazione DITALS dell'Università per gli Stranieri di Siena che attesta la mia competenza nell'insegnamento dell'italiano come seconda lingua, in particolare per il profilo Studenti Adulti. Ho quasi tre anni di esperienza nell'insegnamento dell' italiano lingua straniera a studenti diversi per età, interessi, livelli, bisogni, nazionalità... Faccio questo lavoro con grande passione e professionalità. Sono di Orvieto una cittadina storica dell'Umbria e da molti anni già abito a Roma. Amo viaggiare e conoscere lingue e culture diverse e per questo ho vissuto 2 anni in Brasile e 6 mesi negli Stati Uniti. Conosco l'inglese, il portoghese, un po' di francese e spagnolo e, alle scuole superiori, ho studiato greco e latino antico. Questa conoscenza delle lingue mi permette durante le lezioni di capire subito la difficoltà che stai affrontando e di aiutarti. Credo inoltre che il confronto fra strutture linguistiche similari possa essere molto divertente! Le mie lezioni saranno cucite su misura su di te, sui tuoi gusti e sulle tue esigenze... questo perché voglio che le lezioni siano per te divertenti e coinvolgenti e per questo, di conseguenza, molto più efficaci! I materiali didattici quindi varieranno da persona a persona e spazieranno da film a video, canzoni. Faremo anche molta conversazione, quasi esclusivamente in italiano, per praticare la lingua, per essere in grado di comunicare e anche perché, partendo dall'uso automatico di una struttura, noi estrapoleremo la regola grammaticale. Quindi non sarà una conversazione tanto per parlare, ma con un fine didattico ben preciso. Faremo anche molti esercizi che correggeremo insieme per fissare la grammatica appena studiata. Posso aiutarti con l'italiano per le più diverse motivazioni, da un interesse personale, alla preparazione degli esami CILS e CELI, al viaggio in Italia che stai programmando. Se hai dubbi o vuoi chiedermi maggiori informazioni, scrivimi. Non vedo l’ora di iniziare le nostre lezioni! A presto, ciao *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Olà, Sou Alice, professora de Italiano qualificada e com muita experiença de ensino.

Dear Verbling Community, My name is Manuel and I am an Italian native speaker. I would love to be a part of the Verbling's team of professional tutors and teachers! Here are some quick points about me: My experience: I am a language enthusiast and I am very passionate about teaching languages. I currently live near Varese, in the north of Italy, but my parents are from Siena, Tuscany, home of the true Italian language. I have studied languages in Siena and I have been teaching English and Italian in for 5 years, both online and in class. In this fantastic experience, I have learned how to manage different type of students in different age groups, from young high schoolers to adult entrepreneurs. I have now developed a personal way of teaching languages trough media exposure and immersion and I believe that listening and talking is really the most effective way to learn. I also work as a freelance translator and proofreader and I can definitely help you with anything related to that. My goal: I want to help you learn Italian and English in a way that is both effective and fun. It's an incredibly rewarding experience to see people achieve their language goals knowing you have helped them do it. Plus, I love to get to know people from around the world who share my passion for language and learning. I really want you to be able to speak fluently and I will stick with you and help you until we make it happen. My hobbies: I love to share my hobbies with my students as most of the time they make for awesome material for conversation and I learn a lot of new things myself about their culture and habits. I love to read, especially fantasy novels. I am a huge fan of Harry potter, The Song of Ice and Fire and the Mist of Avalon. I also love anime manga and dorama, I always try to follow as many as possible: it’s a fantastic way to build listening skill in Japanese while having fun doing it (I watched Kimi no na wa 4 times now and I adore it) I love movies and I watch anything that seems good enough and that is not going to make me sleep or cringe too much. When I am not at my Pc working and drinking litres of coffee, I enjoy cooking. I especially like Italian and Japanese cuisine. Lately, I am fixated in preparing tempura. My mother says that I am getting decent but I would like to improve it. Sometimes in summer, I do some sports: volleyball, beach volley, tennis and table tennis. My method: I think one of the keys to learning a new language is engagement: If you can keep yourself engaged throughout the learning process you are pretty much guaranteed to succeed. I am a language student myself, and I know very well the struggles that you need to face when learning a new language. I am currently studying French, German, Spanish, and Japanese and I have reached the European standard level B1/B2 with all of them. At the beginning, I used to force myself to learn streams of single word and grammar points one by one, but that wasn't working for me, it wasn’t practical nor fun. I tried different methods before realising that media immersion and conversation were really the most effective and practical way to learn for me. I shared it with my students with very good results both with online and traditional classrooms. As your teacher, I would like you to be able to learn in the most exciting way possible and I believe that with conversation, media exposure and language immersion, you can definitely achieve that.I will guide you trough the whole process of learning. Each lesson I will: Tell you where you need to improve. Answer all of your questions. Give you assignments and revise them. Adjust to match your learning curve. Always be available to you via chat and email (even after our lessons). In a way, you can see me as your personal trainer for English and Italian. If you follow my instructions you will reach fluency easily and with nothing more than 15 minutes a day of practice. First step! If you are confused on how to proceed, just book the introductory free lesson. Once we know each other and we assess your level, we will decide your next steps. Thank you for reading trough all of this! I can't wait to meet you:D
