Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 27. Mar 2018
Absolute beginners to advanced. In-depth phonetics (accent, pronunciation, etc). Conversation. In-depth grammar aspects. Intonation. Specialized in people who are planning to move to Italy for work or school. I can give you pointers to better understand any regional variation in accent and lexicon, as well as better prepare you for the cultural differences between North, Center, and South.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I'm always talking about some aspect or another of any language to whoever is around me. I can recognize someone's origin from the first word sometimes. I love phonetics. I taught an American friend how to get rid of his lisp, and a Spanish friend to pronounce French properly. I taught English at the local village here in Costa Rica, and Spanish to the people I live with at the farm (we speak English). I try to teach in a fresh and innovative way, taking the best from many sources.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
While learning Bengali 20 years ago I took up one course book after finishing another. The difference in approach between the two books made me appreciate every aspect of the grammar from different points of view, and learn more efficiently and quickly.
This is the approach I still have today. I contribute with my own material once I have assessed my student's needs and proclivities; until then I can use any material and technique that's available online.
I've loved the first half an hour. Sergio is a great teacher, who wants to get to know your expectation und needs. He has a good way of explaining roles und gives examples in other languages. It helped me to understand it better.

The lesson was fun and we got so much done in 30 minutes! We talked about what I'd like to learn, my previous Spanish studies and then went through the basics of Spanish pronunciation which was really helpful.

We had a nice conversation about a variety of topics. Sergio was very patient with me as i fumbled through my sentences. His english is phenomenal in case you need a translation or explanation of some finer linguistic point. An enjoyable hour, recommended!

I've just done my trial lesson with Sergio and he seems to be a good teacher! The first things we talked about were my goals and my current level of Spanish. He seems to have a great knowledge of how languages work together, especially ones that come from the same root like Italian and Spanish.
