    Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
    Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

    German Language for Beginners (Deutsch - A1 und A2)
    German as a foreign language can be hard, especially regarding the grammar part. Always focusing on the structures of the sentences can be challenging and demotivating when trying to connect the sentences in a communication environment. That is why with the help of this class, you'll get more confident in building strong sentences without the stress usually involved. As a foreign speaker of German of over 3 years, there's no other person that understands the struggles better than I do. We will cover all the fundamentals with the background of grammar and syntax so that we are able to create a strong base for future advanced levels.

    - "Mastering English at Every Stage: Learn & Grow"
    As an English teacher, I have designed and delivered courses tailored to different age groups, focusing on their specific learning needs and cognitive development. For primary school students (0-3 years), my approach centered on early language exposure through interactive storytelling, songs, and playful activities that fostered basic vocabulary acquisition and listening skills. For secondary school students (9-14 years), I structured lessons around grammar, reading comprehension, writing exercises, and conversational practice, ensuring a balanced development of all language skills while encouraging critical thinking and creativity. In adult education (18-22 years), I emphasized advanced language proficiency, academic writing, professional communication, and critical analysis, equipping students with the linguistic tools necessary for higher education and career opportunities. My methodology integrated student-centered learning, fostering engagement and confidence in using English across various contexts.

    Conversational English and IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation.
    A certified English Teacher| Master’s degree| Started teaching 9 years ago| Taught all ages and levels| Specializing in Conversational English| IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation. My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also have to make sure that the learner is not running in a circle. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation. In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves: • Improving their grammar. • Fixing their pronunciation. • Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms. By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently. PS: Currently, I’m working on my PhD thesis in English literature. Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.
