Rossella

I am Rossella, I am Italian and I moved to London 11 years ago. Italian is my mother-tongue but I am perfectly fluent in English. I have a Diploma in languages (Liceo Linguistico, Mantova, Italy) and a degree in Economics and Tourism (University of Bologna, Italy). Now I am a full-time mum of two boys who are growing up speaking both Italian and English.
I have been a tutor for over 4 years, mainly one to one and also small groups (max 3 people).
Since each student has their individual way of learning, I think it`s important to discuss it at the very beginning in order to make sure that the tutoring is efficient and enjoyable. For example, there are some students that learn better by listening and repeating and others that need to write and read to learn the language therefore each lesson is organised around the student`s needs and learning skills. Both grammar and conversation are essential to learn and improve the language.
I also offer lessons purely based on travel, focusing on all aspects that tourists traveling to Italy are interested in, such as booking hotels and restaurants, asking for directions, being able to use public transports.

Availability: I am available Monday, Tuesday, Friday from 9.30 am until 12 pm - Wednesday from 9.30 am until 3 pm. I can also do evenings, except for Thursday evening.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have been a tutor for over 4 years, mainly one to one and also small groups (max 3 people).
I have been teaching Italian to adults only, most of them beginners. I am very proud of what my students have achieved and are still achieving. Most of them only knew few words and are now able to hold a proper conversation in Italian.I have also been working with young people studying for their A-level and university students.
