Tutoren & Lehrer für Italienisch

Hello, my name is Federico, I'm italian, I was born in Rome and that's where I'm living now. In the past I lived in several italian cities like Milan, Turin, Naples and others. I graduated with a degree in Economics. I've also obtained the Ditals certificate for teaching Italian to foreigners. Along with private lessons held both online and face-to-face, I teach in a school of Italian for foreigners in the center of Rome. My students are adults with various levels of language skills, from elementary to advanced. I offer Italian lessons for both general and specific areas (business and legal Italian) and provide the preparation for the Cils exam. Teaching Italian is my real passion so I hope I can help you to learn it soon. Follow my page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Verbling-Teacher-Federico/343270862545984

Welcome everyone, benvenuti, soyez les bienvenus :-) I hold a Master's degree ​in ITALIAN and FRENCH Language and Culture with a teaching certificate. I have been working as a classroom teacher for ten years and though I am NEW to Verbling, I have already been teaching online for two years - and I am so happy to be able to do it because I live between three countries and my students move a lot too! I use various teaching methods and materials depending on YOUR needs. I can help you learn Italian or French from the very beginner level, we can work on your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation - excellent pronunciation is crucial if you want to make yourself understood. I can provide you with a rich material that will keep you engaged and will give you plenty of information about the cultures you wish to know. Especially Italian can be TRICKY: it seems you can say things in many ways and rules are quite loose but then you can end up FARE UNA FIGURACCIA (making a fool of yourself) even with such simple tools like the -ino/-etto suffixes that indicate smallness: you might ask for un vasINO di yogurt (a POTTY full of yoghurt) instead of un vasETTO di yogurt (a POT of yoghurt) at the grocery store :-D (Just try and google vasino and vasetto images and you'll see!) I also love giving CONVERSATION classes where you can express yourself on various topics that we prepare ahead using textbook material, newspaper articles, videos, movies, songs and so on. During these classes in I always look for teachable moments, I always correct you and do not let you get away with anything. When you book a package of 10 lessons I will send you a 10 unit MINI-COURSE plan tailored to your needs and you will receive a test when we are finished. Once you are done with your test you send it back to me and you will get it back with corrections and comments - with no fees whatsoever, it is included in your mini-course (and regularly offered if you go on studying). So if you are determined to learn Italian or French or you wish to improve your Italian or French Language Skills, and you are looking for a teacher who offer fun and informative classes I hope you will contact me, and give me an opportunity to help you achieve your goals. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. P.S. If none of my available times work for you, feel free to send me a message, and we can find a time that is good for your schedule.

My lessons are 100% tailored to your learning approach and goals. I tend to use my material and create the learning experience just for you. My teaching method in a nutshell: Engaging targeted conversation: I give you visual or conversational inputs and we debate the topic Natural listening: I tell you stories of my everyday life as you were a friend of mine and I ask you to get the meaning of it Creative writing: thru writing you will take your Italian to the next level, no doubt about it! We will write stories together or you will write about your passions and life. Beginners: We will start from pronunciations rules and build together the basics that will let you become independent in making the firsts sentence. You will be encouraged to speak from day one. Intermediate students: If you are already conversational, we will instead focus on vocab building and verbal production (using Italian press articles, youtube videos, blogs..). Advanced students: The course aims at having you stepping out of your comfort zone and learn to speak as native. I will encourage you to use idioms and make your Italian sounds more natural. I also love to teach my culture; therefore we will often talk about Italian trends, traditions & lifestyle. I use Google Drive & Quizlet (a flashcard platform) during my classes: I usually teach on Skype, but I also have a few backups when it is not working. I am a certified teacher of Italian as a foreign language at the University of Venice, Italy and I regularly take refreshing courses on Italian teaching strategies delivered by the leading institutions in Italy. As for now, I am teaching online full time and love it. I also blog about Italian language & Italy at www.italianpills.com You can follow me on Facebook & Instagram https://www.facebook.com/ItalianLanguageCoaching/ https://www.instagram.com/everyday_italian/ ****Lateness****: If you are late I will wait for 15 minutes for you and we'll do the rest of the session until the end of the original time. If you do not show up you will be charged the full amount. **CANCELLATION** If you cancel 24 h before the lesson starts will be fully charged. Please be understanding that a late cancellation won't allow me to rearrange my schedule or to allocate another student Grazie :)
