Italian is one of my top subjects! I have been studying the Italian language and culture since 2009 and have been living in Italy since 2012. My teaching experience includes two years of high school language courses in Italy and also the tutoring of children ages 6-11.

My teaching style is more non traditional. I use many games that come from my theatrical background. Many of the games require students to be on their feet. I make learning Italian a physical process, not just a mental one. I focus on the importance of the pronunciation of words. I use pictures and film clip to engage both visual and auditory learners.
After graduating with a degree in Theatre, I turned my abilities towards mastering the spoken Italian language. I have studied Italian at DePaul University in Chicago, Lorenzo De Medici in Florence and Middlebury College in Vermont, where I am currently earning my masters over four summers. I also have two years of real world experience, as I have been living in the small town of Mantua, Italy since 2012. My life is not complete without the Italian language. While reading Italian text is an important way to reinforce vocabul ... read more

Italian is one of my top subjects! I am a native Italian. I graduated in an Italian University and I hold an active professional license (law) in Italy.

I am a native Italian. I speak Italian fluently at a professional level. I have one year experience at Berlitz Language Learning in Chicago, IL, as an Italian Instructor. Although this institution uses an unique method of teaching foreign languages, I am very flexible with any type of teaching technique and levels.

Born and raised in Italy until the age of 20 years old with a teaching experience for kids of age 6 to 22 years old, mostly at home during free time. Italian could be a hard language to learn, however, for those of you who would like to have at least a basic knowledge, I could be the right tutor for you. If interested, let me know.

My comments on tutoring Italian : I returned from Palermo, Sicily in late December, 2014. I had been there working and living since June, teaching English to Italian children and adults. I have been going to Italy since 2010 annually and absolutely adore all things Italian. Speaking Italian is like eating cake with every word.

I truly believe conversation is the best way to learn a new language. There are many people who study grammer and vocabulary on paper for years, but when they are finally put in a real situation in which they are required to speak the language, all of their training fails them because they never did the most basic and important thing, which is to practice making the sounds with your mouth, practice saying the new words, practice actually using the new grammer structures.
I have always had a strong passion for languages and perhaps because of this have done extensive traveling. I have lived in several countries and speak several languages. In my adventures I have found time and again that the easiest, most effortless and fastest way to learn a language is to immerse oneself in that culture. Why? Because it is not enough to remember that "arrivederci" translates to "goodbye." Rather, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and tutoring various groups of people! Attending the University of Michigan offered me many opportunities to tutor and teach people of all age groups. I have worked as a Teacher's Assistant in a preschool, a teacher for undergraduate students at U of M in a service learning class, and a teacher of a creative writing class for a group of adult males and females. My tutor experience includes working at a local after school tutoring program working one on one with students to focus on their individual needs. Over the past several years, I have tutored students in middle school, high school, and college in Spanish, Math, and English.
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 hel ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 history of culture. As an assistant professor, my role also includes my own research so I have extensive experience writing research papers and articles. I am very adept at grammar and spelling. Because of my educational background, my strongest subjects are history and english. Furthermore, I am constantly learning through reading and traveling.
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 pro ... read more
