I prefer to adapt my methodology to the objectives and needs of the student. But there is one thing I always stick to: I try to develop autonomy by using activities in which the student is led to discover and reflect on grammatical structures and vocabulary and to discover the language independently. I am convinced that this type of work encourages the student to understand the language more deeply and consequently to use it by memorising rules and vocabulary.
I always try to create dynamic and varied lessons, but above all focusing on the concrete use of the language for a real improvement in communicative competence.
I have experience in teaching English and Italian to children, teenagers, and adults both in general courses and for the preparation of language certifications. I know the exams of the main certifying bodies for both children and adults.
I have always been passionate about teaching and love this profession.

Education:
Ca'Foscari University of Venice

Master's degree in Language Science (LM-39 in the Italian academic study system)
I have an Italian master's degree in Language Sciences (LM-39) from Ca' Foscari University in Venice. My specialization subjects are:
- Teaching and Learning of Foreign Languages (Applied Linguistics),
- Teaching and Learning of Italian as an L2,
- Psycholinguistics.
I have a high level of competence in English (C1 of the CEFR). Additionally, I studied Spanish and German (both B2 of the CEFR).
During my Master course, I did Psycholinguistic studies on the cognitive processes underpinning typical and atypical first and second language acquisition; Pedagogy, and Applied linguistic studies on methods, methodologies, and practices for effective language teaching.
The main skills I developed during my studies are:
- providing effective lessons even in the absence of prior planning
- organizing the didactic contents (authentic or processed) in a propaedeutic way based not only on the difficulty of the target structures but also on the morphosyntactic and lexical characteristics of the original language.
