Information about Barbara
Ciao! My name is Barbara, I am currently a Ph.D. student at St. Peters College at the University of Oxford, where I am also a Language Tutor. I have extensive experience of teaching in a wide range of settings at primary, secondary and university levels for a number of schools.
Before beginning my graduate studies at Oxford, I spent eight years working as a teacher in a private institute in Italy. The subjects I taught include Italian, Latin, History, Philosophy, and Art.
My approach is adaptive according to the specific needs of my students. I tend to follow a communicative method and from the first day of lessons and at each ability level I only speak Italian.
I put particular emphasis on spoken language and on communication, but also deal with the 4 base abilities (reading, writing, oral comprehension and speaking). I design my lessons to always be interesting, interactive and fun, and I create a relaxed atmosphere in which learning is done naturally :) I use text books and other authentic material, like newspapers, magazines and video, to help facilitating learning about contemporary Italy and the many different aspects of Italian culture.
I hold two degrees: an M.St. in Modern Languages from the University of Oxford and an M.A. in Modern Literature from the University of Cagliari, Italy.
Availability: I am currently available to teach most week days.
Willing to travel: 5 miles
Experience: 2015-ongoing:
Part-time Italian Language Tutor at the University of Oxford
2014-ongoing:
Italian Tutor in primary and secondary schools in the greater Oxford area.
2006 - 2012:
Full time Humanities Teacher at Top Level Institutes, Cagliari. Italy.

Barbara has been teaching me for about 3 weeks now and I really look forward to my lessons, they are interesting, stimulating, varied and Barbara works at my pace. In my opinion, having a native Italian teacher is essential and especially one who clearly enjoys teaching and helping you develop your language skills. I would highly recommend Barbara.

Barbara is an excellent tutor. She gives engaging lessons which make the language come alive. Our 14 and 16 year old children enjoy her lessons and readily complete homework set. I do not hesitate to recommend her.
