Informazioni su di me
Insegnante di italki dal 7 Apr 2020Che tipo di insegnante sono
In 2011 I took my first steps into teaching by completing a CELTA course, which is largely regarded as the most recognised English teaching certificate in the world. With this, I moved to Spain and worked for 6 years in language academies. I taught all different types of people: children, adults, pensioners, the unemployed, business-men and women, civil servants, academics, students and more! I have ample experience in exam preparation and have helped many students get their FCE. I also use my creative skills to produce my own materials and have aspirations to publish these one day. Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
The most important thing about my style of teaching is that I adapt to the needs and wants of my student.
Nonetheless, I usually endeavour to find a balance between grammar, vocabulary and the four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking).
I use different online tools and learning platforms for my structured classes. I also provide all my students with free weekly reading and listening materials.
Students often like to start with some conversation classes. We discover the student's gaps naturally this way. When we identify a problem-area, it seems to motivate the student to fix it! At this point, we often change to structured grammar classes...or not!Il mio materiale didattico

Certificati
CELTA - Sussex Downs College - 2011The CELTA certificate, awarded by the University of Cambridge, is the world's most recognised TEFL qualification. This rigorous course requires the students to teach real English classes to real students in front of a panel of fellow teachers. Each class is followed by peer feedback. The course is a fantastic preparation for classroom teaching and also equips teachers with best practices and a world-leading methodology for teaching English.

Istruzione
2008 - 2011
Laurea triennale - HumanitiesThe Humanities BA covers elements of history, philosophy, political theory, sociology, psychology, law and critical studies. I was elated when I found out I had won a scholarship for academic excellence, awarded for the consistently high grades my essays had achieved. I ended the degree with first class honours and a big smile.
2017 - 2018
Laurea specialistica - Poverty and DevelopmentThe Poverty and Development MA at IDS, ranked 1st in the world for development studies, prepares students with the knowledge and skills to engage professionally with the design, implementation and assessment of national and international poverty reduction. As a language teacher, my research focussed on linguistics and the power of certain buzzwords to influence international agendas. My research was at the forefront of development debate and achieved the grade of distinction.
Esperienza di lavoro
2011 - 2012
English TeacherI worked for one year in this language academy teaching English to adults and children. I also gave one-to-one classes to three university professors in La Universitat Internacional de Catalunya. At the end of the year, I designed my own two-week summer camp for young learners, in which we produced a short film.
2012 - 2013
English TeacherI was delighted to land a job with BCN languages after only one year in the industry. The chain of academies is considered to be one of the best and most professional in Barcelona. I taught English to adults and teenagers and was responsible for all aspects of their learning including examination preparation, homework, report writing and parents meetings.
2013 - 2015
English TeacherThe Clara-Silva English school in Ourense is the most well-established language academy in the historic Galician city of Ourense. Here, I taught English to groups of children aged 7-18 in a private language academy. My main responsibility was to engage my students in fun activities with the aim of improving their fluency and pronunciation. I gained invaluable experience preparing students for their Trinity examinations. I also enjoyed putting on a yearly theatrical play for the parents.
2015 - 2016
English TeacherOn returning to Barcelona, I was again elated to take a job with BCN Languages in their brand new academy located a stone's throw from Camp Nou Stadium. This year I was focussed mostly on FCE preparation and gained valuable experience in exam preparation. Nonetheless, I also taught levels A1 through to C1. I also used my photoshop skills to produce a short comic with my younger learners.
2017 - 2017
English TeacherIdioms Plus is a start up located in Barcelona, which offers language services to large enterprises. I really enjoyed giving classes of business English in a large pharmaceutical company located just outside of Barcelona. My responsibilities included conducting level testing and designing an English course appropriate to their needs. I was also in charge of creating and uploading materials onto their interactive online platform for language learning.
2018 - 2020
MentorRecently I have been working on a mental health project for socio-economically poor children in the local area. We work directly with kids who find themselves in crisis at school. This has given me valuable experience with people who have special educational needs, including autism and ADHD.
