Personal Description:
My name is Alessia and I teach Italian since I moved to Dublin … more than 21 years ago.
Since 2020, I am proud to say that I am a part-time Italian language lecturer in one of the best University here.
I am passionate about my culture and my language! I love teaching this musical romantic language, for work or for leisure! Also I can share some cooking recipes of my Country… so that you can enjoy cooking different food {more food for thought :-) } while learning the language!
My approach to teaching is full of energy and positive attitude with really enthusiastic charisma! :)
Tutoring Experience:
I teach Italian language to all levels in a class or one-to-one manner -from beginners to conversation- I taught in different city centre language schools (Languagewise School, Annalivia School, Cactus Learning services, etc) and local Community Colleges.
I offer for Higher and Ordinary levels preparation of Junior / Leaving Cert, University grinds also general Italian Grinds.
Also I prepare students to feel more confident on citizenship exams like CILS, etc.
I teach my language in Dublin 15 area… also to bilingual children in a fun and entertaining approach.
We can use Skype, Zoom or Google Hangout platforms for remote teaching, easy to use and to follow the lesson indeed.
Paypal could be used for payment.
Approach to Grinds:
I like to involve the students in every aspect of learning … giving tips that will facilitate learning and memorization of this lovely language; a part from the usual old hard-print material, I use web-resources & lyrics of famous songs during my lessons to improve comprehension and conversation styles.
In order to help you, I usually give some homework so that your learning process will continue at home (if you like)!
