Ciao! I am a native Italian and English speaker and I have been teaching teenagers and adults in the last ten years. A History, Cultural Heritage and Chemistry graduate, I am especially passionate about linguistics and different cultures!
Our conversation lessons will help you learn and practice your Italian, whether you are a beginner or want to perfect the language. Topics will be tailored to your needs and can range from basic scenarios to more specific ones (professional, travel or cultural context). When necessary we can focus on specific grammar rules and expand vocabulary that is more important to you.
Approach - I always encourage the student to develop a personal connection to the language by exploring personal interests and real-life language use.

French teacher - Passing the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Private preparation sessions | [IN LINE]
I am Fawzi, a French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2012.
I offer specific sessions to meet your needs and objectives to pass your DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I accompany many interested parties of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2012; for me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a key objective in the life of ambitious people.
I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. I explain my lessons in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your shortcomings 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. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles.
--------------------------------------
Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level?
Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation.
