Tutoring Experience

I am a fully qualified native speaker tutor with over 25 years experience in teaching Italian !Job experience includes teaching for Kent Adult Education College (Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks) from 2001 to 2016 where I focused and received constant training in the Further Education sector.
Private for over 25 years preparing students for Italian GCSE and A levels as well as teaching adults for various purposes ( holidays, conversation etc.) and many years also teaching Italian for business for various international firms like the fashion Company "Guess" based in Lugano Switzerland, Mac Multiples Paddock Wood Kent and Honeywell UK.
I have also prepared and conducted GCSE and A levels Edexcel exams for various schools in Kent ( Judd in Tonbridge and Westland Six Form in Sittingbourne.)

Tutoring Approach

The first step for me is to understand my students needs and goals then I plan our course accordingly providing my students with well-structured, interactive, productive and enjoyable lessons.
I have a very passionate and caring approach and I periodically discuss my students' progress with them to set new targets and challenges and to make the learning process as structured and fun at the same time as possible! From time to time I also include in my lessons watching Italian films and some visit to a local Italian Café' or independent authentic Italian restaurant as a "full immersion" resource and most effective practice particularly for my conversation lessons in the target language.

Also being myself not only a native teacher but having lived in Italy for 30 years allows me to incorporate in my lessons Italian culture and custom as well as Italian gestures, colloquialism and curious facts! Feed back from student over the years has always been very positive and rewarding!
