Présentation

I am Francesca, a passionate harpist and music educator. I have recently completed my first year of a master’s degree at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. In addition to my advanced studies, I have a deep commitment to sharing my love for music with others, particularly children and young adults. My greatest strengths lie in my ability to connect with people, quickly identify their difficulties, and tailor my teaching methods to meet their individual needs.

Education

I have a solid educational foundation in music, having earned my bachelor's degree in Italy. I studied the harp through the Suzuki method, a pedagogical approach that has profoundly influenced my teaching style. This method not only helped me master the harp but also equipped me with the skills to understand and address the challenges faced by my students. My current pursuit of a master's degree at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague continues to enhance my technical skills and pedagogical expertise.

Expérience / Qualifications

I bring a diverse range of teaching experiences to my work. In Italy, I taught music theory and harp at both elementary and middle schools. I also led a summer camp for children from underprivileged backgrounds, an experience that honed my ability to engage and inspire students from various walks of life. I am particularly interested in teaching the harp to children but am equally excited about working with teenagers and adults who are fascinated by this beautiful instrument.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have performed extensively as a soloist and in orchestras, including the prestigious Residentie Orkest. These performances have enriched my understanding of music and strengthened my abilities as a musician, which I bring to my teaching practice.

One of my proudest achievements is my bachelor’s degree from Italy, but I am also very proud of the opportunity to perform with the Residentie Orkest despite not yet having completed my master’s degree. This experience has been invaluable in preparing me for a professional career in music.

As a dedicated harp instructor, my primary aim is to cultivate a passion for the harp in each of my students. I accomplish this through theoretical knowledge and hands-on experimentation, ensuring that learning the harp is engaging and enjoyable. My teaching approach is highly adaptable, and tailored to suit the individual needs and learning styles of my students.

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

Ciao! I have been teaching Italian for the past twelve years. I have taught privately and at language schools like La Scuola Italiana del Greenwich Village in New York and ItalCultura, the school of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago. During the first few lessons I will make sure you have the tools to pronounce and identify all the sounds of the Italian language. This step is essential! And it will make everything easier afterwards. When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling. When you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words.

I will customize my materials to your interests, needs and desired pace. And because you are learning from a native Italian you will also learn about Italian culture and history. You will absorb a way of thinking, not just grammar rules.

I speak a bunch of languages so I know a thing or two about how tedious language classes can be. My terrifying French teacher in middle school made us repeat the same fake dialogue from a really bad book ad nauseam, over and over and over again. Some of those dialogues are carved in my brain: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Richard Drapeau, je viens du Canada, je suis Canadien...”

When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling and we will go on “talking walks” because when you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words.

I hold a degree in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (Foreign Languages and Literatures) from Università Roma Tre (equivalent to an American MA) and a Master’s of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media from Columbia College Chicago. I wrote a thesis about translating a long epic poem by W. H. Auden and I tried to ride a horse across America.

Private tutoring classes for young children, teenagers, adults and seniors who would like to:
> Learn Italian, French and/or English from scratch
> Do homework with the support of a tutor
> Improve and perfect their language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading)
> Prepare for language certifications such as PET, FIRST, TOEFL, DELF, admission exams...
> Practice their skills in fun conversations and/or for special occasions

About Francesca: I graduated as a translator and interpreter from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and I lived in different countries where I perfected my accent and pronunciation and I also learnt about the local culture (specifically Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, UK, the US).
I love foreign languages and cultures and my goal is to pass this enthusiasm on to my students as they also learn "boring" grammar rules. For me it's all about helping you find a method of language learning that makes it easy for you to remember new words and correct grammar.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi!
I'm Antoine, a MSc graduate in Applied Mathematics at TU Delft.

During all of my studies, I have tutored high-schoolers and bachelor students in Mathematics, French and Italian.

Now that I have settled in this new country I would like to start tutoring again. So if you are having a hard time in Mathematics (or in one of those languages) at any level, I will be more than happy to give you all the help you need!

I have tutored both face-to-face and via webcam in the past. I am okay with both methods although I think it is much easier to help out during a live session, therefore I'm okay with moving in the the Hague/Rotterdam zone.
