Giada

Hi! I am Giada and I am a first year psychology student at UCL (University College London). I am a native Italian speaker, who have studied in Italy until grade 11 and only came to the UK to study the IB diploma (year 12 and 13) a couple of years ago. I have studied Italian A Literature and English A Language and Literature, completing the IB diploma with a total of 41/45 points. I have therefore obtained a bilingual Italian and English diploma.

I have been an Italian tutor for two years now and have helped both adults and children in learning Italian as a foreigner or second language. My lessons are very adaptable according to the student`s needs and requests, but a structure is always present and lessons are planned beforehand to ensure no time is lost during the lesson.

Availability: I am currently a university student so, beside a few mandatory contact hours a week, I am very adaptable to the student`s needs. I also do lessons in the evenings and during the weekend.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I teach all levels of Italian from beginners to advanced starting from grammar and vocabulary up until literature. My lessons are therefore geared towards students studying Italian at any level, and who are either struggling with the language at school/university or willing to learn it privately.

However, students are required to have specific goals in mind so that teaching is personalised and directed towards what they want to achieve. The first part of the lesson will usually be dedicated to teaching involving direct engagement and participation from the student. In the last part there will be time for questions of any kind and the student will be assigned homework to be completed for the next lesson.

For those who are learning Italian on their own, I plan a schedule for the specific goals you want to achieve and usually assign homework (exercises, videos, talks or readings) every week.

For those learning Italian at school/uni or willing to achieve a specific qualification, I assign work and plan my lectures according to the guidelines of the exam to be taken.
