Francesca

I am a Sicilian professional journalist based in South London.
I work as tutor of Italian language and my first suggestion for you is: "attach" your improving Italian skills to something you are passionate about.
You`ll learn faster and easier, enjoying the journey all along and building up your vocabulary in real-life situations.
Food, Travel, Arts, Music, Cinema, Lifestyle, Current Affairs, Politics are all great topics.
Even Football and Gardening :)
I am available for lessons, conversations, proofreading, help with exam preparation.
First class honors (110/110 cum laude) in Italian from University of Catania. Special mention in written Italian.
I am a good listener and I am happy to focus on your learning needs.
Si, you can make it.
A presto

- This is the feedback from one of my students, Deb:
"Outstanding preparation and personalisation of the learning experience. Highly gifted tutor who is an expert in not only language but the Italian cultural context".

- This is a feedback from one of my students, Phil:
"I can testify to Francesca’s skills primarily as a language tutor, but also as a journalist.
Although I had studied Italian before meeting Francesca, it was her diligent and friendly tuition which brought me to the level whereby I have been accepted on a BA course in Italian at one of the top universities in the country. Francesca has a great passion both for her language and for her national culture, particularly the regional culture of her native Sicily. Her enthusiasm for her subject is infectious, and she has a talent for making learning fun. I have no hesitation is commending her teaching and tutoring skills most highly".
