About Me

italki teacher since Nov 9, 2020

Hi everyone! My name is Francesco and I am from Saarland, Germany. I have been to 8+ countries and really enjoy speaking to people from around the world. My full time job is teaching people German, here on italki. I work hard in everything that I do and will do my utmost best to have you speaking German at the level you want, in a very short amount of time!!

Me as a Teacher

My approach is friendly and involving, because I really love to help other people to learn a new language. Don't be nervous If you make a mistake: you're welcome to ask me questions, to repeat or ask me to reformulate.

My lessons & teaching style

My Lessons & Teaching Style During our lessons I'll be taking down notes on your mistakes, that are directly inserted into our Skype conversation and be correcting them so that you can see them and even go over them again at the end of the lesson. I try to have you talking as much as possible, to tell me stories about your life, and ask you interesting questions so that you can achieve that, and then so that you can improve on your listening skills. IMPORTANT: Lessons cancelled less than 24 hours before the start time will not be rescheduled nor refunded. I DON'T TEACH KIDS UNDER 14!

Education

2019 - 2021

Bachelor’s - German as a foreign and second languageUniversität des SaarlandesIn my studies, the focus was on teaching foreigners, children and other groups who might have potential difficulties with the German language. Therefore, I believe that I have optimal qualifications for Italki.

I can't believed I talked German for 30 minutes straight! Excellent conversational practice, Francesco keeps the conversation engaged and fluent, while at the same time, writing down any new words learned in the process.
