Italian, French, Spanish, English classes for adults and children

My name is Chiara, I'm a native Italian speaker and I work as a freelance translator and interpreter. I have a Master's Degree in Specialised Translation.

I have been teaching Italian, French, Spanish and English for over 6 years, to both adults and children.

In 2016/17, I worked as an Italian and Spanish teacher for adults at an Agency of the European Union while I was living in Strasbourg, France. In the year 2021, I extended my experience to children as well and started working as an English teacher for primary school children of all ages in Bologna at Educraft language school.

I fluently speak all four languages and I use them in my everyday life since my clients come from all over Europe.

Of all the work experiences I have had, teaching to children is definitely the one that satisfied me the most. I enjoy teaching to bilingual children and help them overcome the challenges of having a bilingual brain.
Since I am a freelancer, I am very flexible in terms of working hours and I can adapt to the student's needs and requests.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Chiara

excellent teacher
Zander appreciated the lesson.
Chiara's lessons are always very well planned and paced with great exercises. I have really enjoyed all of her lessons so far. She has a distinct ability to explain grammar and language peculiarities simply, so I feel I truly understand them, especially with the exercises to reinforce them. She is also very kind, personable and patient!
Chiara is a great teacher - she is patient, enthusiastic and she explains things very well!

Manon
Private lessons in English and French / Private lessons in English and French
Hello, I offer French and English lessons for all levels! My name is Manon, I am a French student, and this year I am studying in Bologna. Born in the United States, I speak fluent English. I then came to live in France when I was 5 years old, so I also speak fluent French. For me, learning a language necessarily involves speaking, that's why my course will always start with a discussion phase between me and the student, so that he can tell me about his day, the latest film he saw or the last book he read... The other essential aspect of learning a language is to listen to it. This is why I will ask each session to the student to choose a video to watch that he will have to comment on the next session both orally but also in writing. Of course, these exercises will be adapted according to the age and level of the student. Finally, it is also elementary to work on the basics of grammar, conjugation and spelling of the language through written exercises that we will correct together. My lessons can be adapted for all levels My lessons can also be done remotely, by videoconference, with teams, Skype or Zoom. Hello, I offer French and English courses for all levels!

Lessons of Spanish are tenute in Spanish, and words of English!
. The best way to learn a language is by talking to a native and learning about their culture while they learn about yours. I am a Spanish boy from Tenerife, I have experience of having taught classes in Spain. I speak both Spanish, English and Italian. I am looking to take advantage of the opportunity to teach Spanish, to perfect my Italian.

Amber
English and French Tutoring/ Preparation for ACT and SAT
Learning ESL or French as a non-native speaker can seem like a daunting task. Fortunately, my style of tutoring incorporates lessons plans with entertaining exercises and activities. Each lesson I establish a cultural objective to give some cultural significance to the information. I also include a grammar and lexical objective which will target key vocabulary and grammar structure common when speaking about specific cultural topics. Each session begins with a warm up to test your memory and present new information, a production to apply the grammar and lexical tools With exercises, and an independent short project to complete at the end.

I also provide individual monitoring for your work method, more particularly in terms of understanding the instructions and the work schedule. If you need a helping hand, I'm here to listen.

Phillip
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!

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
