Italian Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Chicago, IL

I've taught Latin, Italian and Spanish for 10 years. Currently I work as a translator and as a teacher at the Institute of Italian Culture in Chicago (Michigan Avenue)and I am a doctoral candidate in comparative literature. Planning lessons, providing material, correcting tests, managing the classroom, arranging the schedule, are part of my duties and responsabilities. And since the beginning of my academic career I have dedicated myself to teaching (individual and group) private classes and have always organized study groups with high school and university students, in Italy as well as in Spain, following the school syllabi and reinforcing what the students learned in class, perhaps meanwhile stimulating their interest. My teaching philosophy is based on the certainty that study must be brought about by interest. I think anyone of us who has confronted the learning of a new language,

My favorite teaching experiences have been tutoring students one on one-it is truly remarkable to see the improvement students can make when they are able to work at their own pace and with individualized attention. I am committed to helping children attain their goals through showing them how much I believe in their success. Through providing individualized attention, I enjoy adapting to how students best learn-whether it be through shorter, more frequent sessions, helping students to develop study strategies, or working with students to increase interest in a subject. I am very patient, compassionate, and flexible-I am committed to working with students to help them reach their goals. I also understand that parent and teacher communication can be essential to help a student reach these goals-and certainly would strive to maintain a relationship with a student's teachers to have an

I speak multiple languages and have over 25 years of experience teaching French, English, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi and Punjabi in my own language school as well as in academic and corporate environments. My passion and my specialty is guiding students to fluency and competence in languages. I myself continue to learn new languages and culture for personal emjoyment. My degrees are a BA in ethnomusicvology from UCLA and an MA in French from Arizona State. My tutoring style is informal. It is based on establishing good rapport, understanding my student's learning style and making the sessions as enjoyable and productive as possible. I have found that this is crucial in getting good results. Happy people learn much better than stressed and bored ones. At the same time I am very structured in helping my students to master the content they are studying. The material is system

I have mostly taught university-level students but I have occasionally worked with high school students. I would like the opportunity to work with all age groups. In my opinion, students learn in many different ways so it is useful to approach difficult concepts in practical ways. I like to use visual media when teaching (films, excerpts from relevant programs, still images, powerpoint) to reiterate main points. I like to work closely with students and believe this type of communication is what allows each student to fully understand what's expected in the assignment. I believe providing a comfortable and easy going approach to tutoring so that learning is enjoyable. I am honest, patient, and nice. I have taught university-level art history courses for the last 7 years. These courses include training in writing, presentation, and speaking in addition to their emphasis on the histo
