Maria Grazia

Hi,
My name is Maria Grazia, I am Italian and I have been living in England for many years, where I have been working and studying.
I am an enthusiastic and cheerful person and
I strongly believe that a good relationship with students can be inspirational and motivating.

Availability: I am available most evenings, Fridays all day as well as week-ends.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I am an extremely well -qualified teacher of languages and I have lengthy experience of teaching both English and Italian as foreign languages.
I have been teaching in England for many years in all Key Stages, from large groups of 30 students to small
A level groups of 2, from equal level to mixed ability. I have also gained a great deal of experience of teaching GCSE Italian at all levels abilities, from condensed fast learning over 12 months to absolute beginners.
As well as teaching in schools and colleges I have been running twilight Italian language courses for bilingual students. This has allowed me to gain excellent experience of teaching students of different abilities and the flexibility to accommodate individual learning needs.
My MA studies in Applied Linguistics have helped me understand the dynamics of language learning so as to be able to formulate my own teaching strategies based on a deep knowledge of learners and their needs.
