    Improve your Italian skills by following your interests (i.e. books, TV series, songs)! Online tutor for Italian as a foreign language

    I tailor each lesson according to my student needs. I allow for the first 10 minutes to “steam off” in English/Spanish to express requests, needs, doubts and/or clarifications. Then everything is mandatory in Italian! The only exception made is for improving translation skills, upon request. My academic background allows me to trace the etymology of any given word and to easily spot false-firends, enabling a durable memorisation of new vocabulary.

    Lessons usually focus on travelling, contemporary issues, specialised vocabulary of one’s own professional area, and practical vocabulary for daily life.

    Examples of tasks:
    - Preparing and sending an email to book an hotel room / rent a car
    - Understanding and analysing brief videos/audios (i.e. Ted Talks, Podcasts) to post comments
    - Explaining a recipe
    - Summarising a tv show episode/play/book
    - Analysing and translating news, crowdfunding campaigns, and essays.

    Extra information

    Classes are typically held on Skype. Other platforms can be considered upon request.

    About Me

    I am specialised in Gender Studies and Conflict Transformation. Studying and tutoring in a second language (English) while improving my Spanish, French, and Serbian language skills allowed me to gain an ‘outsider’ perspective of mastering English. I can easily spot its limitations as well as its variety of terms available to express oneself.

    I have been proof-reading theses, essays and written outputs for over 8 years now and I have developed a sharp attention to detail to spot typos and unnecessary repetitions.

    I’ve also been employed as a hostess on board for boat tours around the Sorrento and Amalfi Coast. Such experience allowed me to share the myths, history and traditions of my beautiful hometown in Italian, English, French, and Spanish – both for adults and children.

    I fully understand how hard it can be to pass an exam in a second language and that's why I love to prepare my students for success. While I might be new on Apprentus, I encourage you to check the reviews I have collected through the years,

    My classes are tailored towards the student needs aiming at scoring at least one full band above the desired one. This way, we maximise the chances of passing the exam with top grades! The first 10 mutes are dedicated to requests, venting, needs, doubts, and clarification. Then, we focus exclusively on the exam combining theory and practice. Classes typically follow the 4 sections that compose the exam while leaving free choice with regards to the textbook or sources to use. I provide my students with documents containing my personal tips and tricks to minimise external factors related to anxiety/pressure while strengthening skills and strategic concentration. I am available to commute (trip paid by the student) to Novi Sad. I have 10 years of experience in tutoring English as a second language and I have specialised in IELTS since 2013. My students have ALWAYS passed the test and you can find their reviews.

    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.

    Preparing for, and Improving, College Composition and Reading
    Despite advances in AI and other technologies, the core practice of excelling in college remains reading comprehension and essay writing. While these tools can act as a band-aid, they do not help students with foundational learning skills overall. With five years of experience in teaching college composition, I am aware of the gaps between high school and college literacy with which many students enter. My course will focus on filling such gaps to improve prospective and current students' overall reading and writing skills to aid in textbook comprehension and essay writing for any class they may attend. In attending my course, you will practice: - 1:1 help with essay edits and writing - Reading and critical engagement with excerpts from typical college material - Short writing drills to improve overall writing towards a college level - Line editing and peer review

    Italian soprano offers coaching of Italian Pronunciation for singers
    As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing. Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing. We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis. We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them. In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!
