Ilaria

I am an active, sensitive, curious and sociable individual who enjoys meetong new people and discovering different cultures. I love reading (libraries and bookshops are amongst my favourite places not necessarily because of books but especially because I find them very inspiring and relaxing), travelling and cooking. I also like watching documentaries, especially those focused on animals and history. I would describe myself as a flexible, patient and caring person.

I tend to give an initial assessment test to my students so I can have a better idea of their level and preparation. I always ask them about their expectations and tailor my lessons according to their own needs and interests but I also take the initiative in choosing topics if I see them struggling with them. I give equal importance to all abilities stusents need to master when learning a foreign language (reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar) and choose material accordingly. Pronunciation and lexical variety also play an important role.
