About Me
italki teacher since Feb 18, 2020
Hi guys!
I'm Erik, I'm 25 and I currently live in Porto, Portugal. I'm from Varese, a city located very close to Milan, in the North of Italy.
Since my childhood, I always felt a strong curiosity for foreign countries and languages, and that went on to be a crucial part of my academic career. That's why, in 2018, I graduated in language mediation and cultures.
During those studies, I had the opportunity to go to an exchange program called Erasmus in the city where I now decided to live. There I met people from all over the world and exchanged their language and culture with mine.
I love to talk with people from all around the world about the most various topics.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I usually teach to my students the strategies that allowed me to speak three languages fluently. I learnt those strategies during the course of my life, looking out of the traditional academic schemes.
I will teach you to be confident and to not be afraid of making mistakes, a crucial component for learning faster.
I usually make the class a real conversation about the topics you prefer, in order to create the most relaxed environment possible, as if it was a talk with friends. Then, we will see together what we can improve about every areas of the language.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is very flexible, meaning each lesson is adapted to the need of the student.
I usually make my classes as an informal conversation about any topics you prefer, so you can feel relaxed and confident and at the same time I can give you tips to get better and some tricks to learn faster.
If you prefer, we can also see and analyze together articles, media or books that you like.
I will then give you some advices for you to continue your learning even after the lessons.
And, of course, I'm available anytime for any questions or doubts you may have :-)

Excellent first lesson. Language acquisition is a very interactive way of learning, Erik makes interesting by using a variety of visual sources that are easy to follow. During our short session I learned several new words, just by listening and asking questions. Thank you!

Eric è super motivato e molto interessante. Ha vari metodi di insegnamento per supportare il modo in cui impari. Mi è piaciuta la mia prima lezione con lui e non vedo l'ora di prendere altre lezioni.
