Stefano

Ciao! I am Stefano, a native and qualified Italian teacher with CLTA certificate of Italian teaching to adults issued by International House London.

I`m manager and teacher at the "Italian School of St Albans", where at the moment I also teach 6 groups of different levels. I have 6 years of experience with one to one lessons in London and I have worked at St.Albans school of languages from September 2012 to March 2016. I also teach Italian in Canary Wharf for the staff of FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and provide individual tuition at the Bank of England, HSBC, Lastminute and Skadden.
I am very motivated, passionate and able to talk about any topics. I am always keen to improve myself and am very sociable.

Language is the key that opens the door to the knowledge of a place and its people. I feel really proud of my origins and always happy to help my clients by providing info about the culture and traditions of Italy. I believe as a teacher imparting technical knowledge is important but it is also essential to inspire interest and an enjoyable learning experience.

I always try to keep my students engaged by making my classes interesting. I do this by introducing current issues about Italy and any other topics of interest to my students. I ensure my classes are tailored to my students` levels and create an atmosphere where students can ask plenty of questions.
Lessons are planned to improve various skills, through the introduction of articles, audios or videos and usually end with a final task, when through a game or a role-play the student can practise the functions learnt during the session.

My aim is to make Italian classes fun as this keeps people motivated and passionate about learning.

My teaching methodology has been developed using techniques learned at the International House which has been refined with my personal experience.

Availability: Weekdays and weekends (upon previous arrangement).

Experience: In the last 5 years I taught Italian in London to many private clients and companies. I teach groups at the Italian School of St Albans, where I`m the manager too.
The Italian School of St Albans offers evening Italian classes and cultural events in the heart of St Albans, in Hertfordshire.

Since January 2013 I have been teaching Italian to employees at the FCA – an independent non-governmental body that regulates the financial services industry in the UK. The FCA has approximately 4,000 employees and at the moment I have 5 different groups.

From September 2011 to March 2016 I worked at St Albans School of Languages, a popular spot for learners of English and modern foreign languages in Hertfordshire. The school runs english classes in the mornings and foreign language classes every evening.


Also, I currently have 10 one-to-one students. My clients are predominately professionals working in the financial services industry and want to learn Italian for different reasons. I provide these lessons at the student`s house or on-site at Bank of England, FCA, Deloitte and Skadden.
