Spanish lessons in Verona - 9 teachers found

Hi! My name is Mariateresa, I'm Italian and I teach English, Italian and Spanish to foreign students. Having lived in Spain during my last... year at University, I moved to the UK, where I lived for the next five years. My English at that time was quite poor and I made a living by doing various jobs. One day, inspired by my amazing English teacher Mandy, I had an idea: why not teach my native language and Spanish to English people and other nationalities? You wouldn’t believe how fascinated people are by these languages! It was in 2017 when I fell in love with this job. So much so that one year later I successfully attained a TESOL Certificate, to teach English as a foreign language. Teaching allows me to fully express myself and my personal qualities, such as patience and an ability to give my full attention to other people. By giving students a space in which to express themselves without fear, I create a safe, non-judgemental environment. When a new student contacts me I always offer them a free trial lesson, so that we can introduce ourselves and I can get to know their level, interests and needs. It's from there that I create the ensuing lessons. I provide students with a solid grammar base, but also help them to understand the application and use of the language in everyday life. At the same time, I tailor the lesson to suit the students' main interests – such as grammar, speaking, pronunciation, writing or exam preparation. I teach students of different levels, from beginners to advanced. Although I love teaching in-person, I have adapted myself to teaching online as well. I have also completed a Teaching English Online course offered by Cambridge University. I have to admit that it's a really effective method, plus you meet people from all over the world! Having lived abroad for several years I know that learning a foreign language requires time, but it's also fun. By speaking in it we can express hidden parts of ourselves – it's a bit like acting! You can also assimilate the culture from which the language evolves. It's interesting to see how we can change and develop! My aim is to transmit to students the idea that nothing is impossible. Learning a language is challenging, but entirely achievable if you keep in mind that it's a journey made of small steps. What is important is to establish those small objectives every day, and reach them with calm determination. Like a tracker counts the steps that you walk, put on your “count-words tracker” and you'll be surprised at how much you have learned by the end of the day!

Spanish, English and Italian teacher

I possess a Master's degree in Translation and Liaison Interpreting and a truly international professional background obtained during my seven... years experience working in the tourism and commercial sectors in Italy, Germany, Spain and Mexico. I love working with people of different nationalities, I’ve always had private students of all levels and ages and I have always been appreciated by my students for my interpersonal skills, my charisma and especially for the very practical cut I give to my lessons. That's why in 2019, after a long time travelling around the world, I decided to do what I love most in life which is sharing my passion for foreign languages and to make teaching my real profession. In the last two years I also had the opportunity to work as German and English teacher in some public middle and high schools in Italy and as foreign languages teacher for adults who work in specific work sectors. I always get great satisfaction from teaching and receive very positive feedback from all my students. Even if I prefer face-to-face classrooms, I also feel comfortable working online. I teach on Zoom or Skype and I always try to make my classes very interactive using digital materials, exercises or diagrams prepared by me, so that my students are fully and entertainingly involved.
