About Me
italki teacher since Aug 10, 2019Me as a Teacher
I taught Italian in multilingual classes, with people from all over the world, such as Germany, Austria, Brazil, USA, Spain, France, Japan, United Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland, and many more. Since I live in Spain, I have been an external collaborator of a committee of the Dante Alighieri Society in Asturias and an Italian conversation assistant for middle and high schools. Therefore I have a lot of experience in teaching Italian language to Spanish speakers of all the ages.
At the moment, I am a teacher for a Berlitz school in Madrid, giving Italian lessons for business.
I am also a recognized trainer and examiner of the CILS exams, authorized by the University for Foreigners of Siena. My lessons & teaching style
I am of the communicative approach, therefore my priority is the oral production. However, I always try to cover all the other language skills, such as listening, reading and writing, because they are essential. Grammar is also another fundamental pillar: few doses, but necessary!Certificates
