Francesca

Ciao I`m Francesca. I am a mother tongue Italian language teacher.For the past ten years alongside teaching in schools and in colleges, I have privately tutored adults of all ages and at all levels, wishing to learn or improve Italian language. I have also assisted one-to-one and small group language training for business people and busy individuals who need language skills for work and I have also helped students to pass the CILS examination.
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced, whether you want Italian for business or pleasure, I can help you perfect your language skills at a level that suits your needs all in a friendly, informal and lively atmosphere that is totally Italian.
I am patient, enthusiastic and my lessons have a positive, supportive atmosphere. I want my learners to enjoy their lessons and I always encourage them to have a pro-active approach to learning, where the emphasis is on oral interaction rather than just the theoretical practice.
