About Cristina:
My name is Cristina and I am 39 years old; Italian is my native language.
I grew up and lived in Bologna until I moved to live and work in Dublin, in Ireland.
At the beginning of April 2009 I moved to Exeter, in the beautiful county of Devon.
I am extremely dynamic and I have many different interests. I love walking, cycling and physical sports. Also, I enjoy cultural activities including reading, visiting museums and art exhibitions, listening to good music and exploring new places.
English is my second language and I love improving it as well as teaching Italian.
My deep passion for these two languages is the best way to express my friendly and positive personality.

Teaching Experience:
I attended High School and University in Italy and graduated with the highest grade in Law.
I have been working for fourteen years as an accountant but teaching is a passion I have never abandoned and I have been giving private lessons for several years.
I have now made my professional dream come true by turning my passion for teaching into a full-time occupation.
Because of my experience in a business environment I am able to give specialist tuition for students who require Business Italian as well as standard Italian.

Tutoring Approach:
Every student has different strengths, weaknesses, expectations - and most of all a unique personality.
That's why my approach is always flexible and personalised.
I do my best to understand your needs and to make my lessons enjoyable and interesting.
We will start to approach Italian language building together with a solid grammar foundation.
Then, we will develop your knowledge doing writing and reading exercises but also listening to music, watching videos, surfing the net and - finally - having a nice chat together.
