Ciao! my name is Valeria. I am an Italian native speaker with 7 years’ experience in teaching Italian. I like to live abroad, I had lived in Uk, in Spain, in US, Brazil and now in Portugal. I teach online (especially now with the pandemic situation). So, I have learnt all the possible strategies to make an easy and fun online class, for everyone. If you love Italy, if you have Italian friends, if you're planning to visit Italy, if you need Italian for your work, school, or 'amore'...don't worry! I can help you! I have a degree in Communication and a master’s in Journalism. I am certified to teach Italian to adults (CLTA) after studying at one of the best schools: International House of London. I speak English and Portuguese as second languages. I have experience in private tutoring with people all around the world. I also work with private language schools, with classes of 5 to 15 people and companies connected with Italy. My approach is mostly conversational, not forgetting the need to learn grammar by using texts, games, songs, video and everything that could help to make the explanation easy to understand. I love teaching my culture and my language to other people. For me it's important to learn gradually and to have fun with creative and interesting lessons. I also can help with exams or certifications; we will talk first and then start together a plan.
