Learn Italian Language: Grammar, Writing, Listening, Reading... and Culture! (All Levels)

Being an Italian born in Switzerland (a multicultural and multilingual country), having studied in England and in Italy, and now living in Portugal, different languages and cultures have always been an essential part of my daily life. Moreover, having studied multiple languages myself, I am particularly aware of the difficulties inherent in learning a foreign language.
When teaching Italian, I shape my classes according to the students’ individual needs.
I believe in enriching vocabulary and grammar lessons with little written tasks and oral conversations about Italian culture and current topics. This allows to put the theory into practice and contextualisation, and to render the classes more engaging and interesting. I also use translation as a powerful tool to delve into further aspects of the studied language.

About Me

Hello!
My name is Francesca. I have recently graduated with a master's degree from the University of Oxford, where I studied Comparative Literature and Critical Translation. For my bachelor's degree, I studied at the University of Warwick where I received a first-class BA in English and Italian literature.

LANGUAGE TEACHING:
Being an Italian born in Switzerland (a multicultural and multilingual country), having studied in England and in Italy, and now living in Portugal, different languages and cultures have always been an essential part of my daily life. Moreover, having studied multiple languages myself, I am particularly aware of the difficulties inherent in learning a foreign language.

When teaching Italian, I shape my classes according to the students’ individual needs.
I believe in enriching vocabulary and grammar lessons with little written tasks and oral conversations about Italian culture and current topics. This allows to put the theory into practice and contextualisation, and to render the classes more engaging and interesting. I also use translation as a powerful tool to delve into further aspects of the studied language.

Learning a foreign language takes time and patience. But this doesn't mean it can't be fun: I aspire to make my classes interactive and engaging, and by tailoring them to the specific needs of my students I help them achieve their potential without wasting time!

*********

UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS / PREPARATION:
Being willing to study in the UK led me to scrutinise the admission process and gain a wide knowledge of what different universities value most in candidates.

I help prospective university students with their personal statements, CVs, essays, exams and interview preparation, and the whole application process.

*********

OXFORD / CAMBRIDGE ADMISSIONS / PREPARATION:
Having applied to, successfully obtained an offer from, and studied at Oxford, I also have expertise in this procedure and I can help my students with useful tips and suggestions to improve their applications and let their personality and passion shine through.

I help prospective university students with their personal statements, CVs, essays, exams, interview preparation, and the whole application process, specifically targeting them for Oxbridge.

*********

LITERATURE:
As I hold a Bachelor's degree in Modern Literature and a Mater's in Comparative Literature, literature is one of my biggest passion.

I help students undertaking a literature course at GCSE (middle school), A level or IB (high school), or university.

*********

COURSEWORK:
Finally, I love to share my passion and knowledge of academia.

I help students assess their past coursework to thoroughly understand where and how to improve, and support them with their essays, presentations, dissertations, exam preparation, etcetera.

For instance, I can offer my students helpful guidance during the research phase, as well as accurate insight into how to effectively structure arguments and successfully expose them in a convincing and original way.

Education

2019–2020 – Mst in Comparative Literature and Critical Translation (Unviersity of Oxford)
2015-2019 – BA in English and Italians with Hons. (University of Wariwck)
2016 – Year Abroad (Università di Roma la Sapienza)

Experience / Qualifications

TEACHING EXPERIENCE:

During my studies, I always tried to combine my passion for teaching and education with my deep interest for human rights and social issues.
This led me, in 2016, to become part of Guides (UK) as an assistant, where I organised and coordinated recreational and educational activities for a group of twenty girls aged between 10 and 15.
In the same year I became part of a group of ten volunteers conducting an interdisciplinary project of educational and recreational activities, art and craft sessions and games for the children of the school in Jinja (Uganda).
In 2019, I was team leader in a project by the Are You Syrious, association in Croatia charged with organising an overseas trip bringing 15 young students to Croatia to provide lessons and activities to local young refugees and asylum seekers.
Currently, I am giving private language classes to students online.
I have successfully been helping prospective university students with their personal statements, CVs, and with the whole application process. Obtaining an offer from a leading university can be a major step in one’s career and particular care should be given to the thorough and strict examination these universities give to students’ personal statements, CVs and interviews. Being willing to study abroad in the UK led me to scrutinise very carefully the admission process and gain a wide knowledge of what different universities value most in candidates. Moreover, having applied to, successfully obtained an offer from, and studied at Oxford, I have expertise in this procedure and I can help my students with useful tips and suggestions to improve their applications and let their personality and passion shine through.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2.

Italian with a native speaker. Personalized online classes!
I have over 12 years of experience teaching online Italian classes, adapting to the most diverse goals and profiles. I have supported university students preparing to study abroad, professionals working with Italian companies, and individuals who need to certify their Italian level with official exams such as CILS or PLIDA, with excellent results. I have also worked with children of all ages and with parents married to Italians, helping them integrate linguistically and culturally into the lives of their partners and children. I design each course with the student, adapting the content to their interests, pace, and learning style. I don't work with generic programs: I believe in a flexible, humane, and deeply individualized approach. Includes varied and dynamic digital materials: Videos, audios, movies, cartoons, grammar books, interactive exercises, and more. Everything is available online so learning can continue outside of class. My method is based on the theory of Personalized Education developed by Víctor García Hoz, which recognizes that each student is unique and learns differently. Therefore, each class is different.
