About me Ciao!
 I am a 
qualified native Italian teacher. Born in Sicily, lived in London for a couple of years and now moving to Montreal.
 Welcome to my profile.
 I 
love to teach and to be of help. I am a professional counselor also, will be happy to apply my expertise 
to improve your quality of life. 
 I am very 
respectful, accessible, warm, caring and professional, it is highly important for me to make you achieve the goals we set together during the assessment.
 I am currently teaching at Dante Alighieri in Siracusa.
Qualifications I studied and took the course to teach Italian to foreigners, certified 
Ditals at Università per stranieri di Siena, I have also been trained as 
Tutor online at Università per stranieri di Perugia. I have got a degree in Economics, a diploma as 
Professional Counselor (Gestalt approach) and I took an online course to improve my English language fluency, and I learnt a lot how to teach languages to adults at TITC (International TEFL Coroporation) especially how important 
is to dedicate the lesson's topic to your needs as learner.
 I am an interpreter and translator certified at 
S.S.I.T. in Italy.
 I can therefore give you 
good information on business and I can 
be of help if you need emotional support.
Teaching approach It is a holistic approach.
 To give students the 
tools to gain an understanding of the language structure and fluency on communication, with a practical emphasis on language awareness, phonology and 
individual needs. 
 I have learnt that the best methodology is 
students centred, where I can get you (students) involved throughout the lesson, keep you 
motivated by choosing those activities that 
interest you and include 
real life situations letting you free to communicate.
Method: task oriented and situational based.
 I use to organize the lesson in advance through some papers:
- Lesson plan, following 3 phases: Engage, Study, Activate
 
- Needs evaluation test
 
- Short and long term goals
 
- Progress diary
 
Thank you for taking the time to read about me and Looking forward to meeting you.
