Experience Summary
My experience with Italian dates back to Jan 2009 when I began my two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I spent those two years communicating with hundreds of Italians each week. I am currently studying Italian at BYU with plans to graduate next year. I have passed all basic Italian grammar classes with a grade of at least A-.
Teaching Style
Learning a language allows for a lot of flexibility in terms of curriculum. Students can talk, write, or read about anything as long as it helps them develop their language skills. I try to make the experience as fun as possible, but the teaching won't matter if some goals aren't established to work for. With certain objectives in mind for tutoring sessions, or larger scale goals, the student can be held accountable and also see the progress he or she is making.
My Hobbies
I enjoy all kinds of sports: basketball, football, baseball, golf, volleyball, tennis, etc. I also love TV shows, especially watching different series online!
