Information about Marina
I am a Master of Arts graduate with wide experience in the Educational field. Qualities that make me a good teacher are: creativity, enthusiasm and extroversion.I use my creativity to devise many different and catchy learning activities, to keep my students motivated and involved. I tend to build positive relationships with them, being supportive and meeting their needs. Moreover, I put my enthusiasm about languages, cultures and travelling in my lessons, using my knowledge and experience to make them more interesting.
In teaching languages, I adopt the Communicative approach and the Functional method, alongside with the principles of the non-formal education methodology.

Experience: I am an Italian graduate with a first class MA in Philosophy and a wide range of work experience in the Educational field as a youth leader and a project designer. Since November 2013, I have volunteered as a teaching assistant in a Secondary School and as a language assistant in a Primary School in Derby. I am also working as a youth leader for an association in Nottingham. Starting from June 2014, I have been studying for the Level 3 Diploma in Specialist Support for Teaching and Learning .
I support learning activities in the EAL and the SEN area and Year 10 students in Spanish.
besides the MA in Philosophy, I have a diploma in Humanities (graded 100/100), which is equivalent to the A-levels in all the subjects studied (according to the “Statement of Comparability” issued by the UK NARIC), namely: Italian Literature and Language, Maths, Science, History, Philosophy, History of Art, Latin, Ancient Greek. In August 2014, I obtained also a level C GCSE English Language.I have also a British Institutes ESOL Certificate Level C1 and the TOEFL iBt Certificate (grade 92/120).
Over the past five years, I have gained a significant work experience in working with young people and children, as a youth leader and a project designer in NGOs in Italy and Spain. I monitored and identified funding sources and calls for proposals to develop educational projects. As a youth leader I planned and implemented learning activities and workshops with students of all ages about different subjects: business, history, archaeology, marine biology, environmental education.
