PhD in Italian Literature and Culture
I began my studies in Florence and was fascinated by the rich Italian literature and culture. I was inspired by the difficult stories of writers like Dante and Calvino, which motivated me to study Italian Literature and Culture. As a result, I earned a PhD in this field. I have spent almost 30 years teaching and sharing the beauty and depth of the Italian language with students.I have written many articles and research papers about different periods of Italian literature. These writings give readers a look into how Italy's culture has changed over time.
When I teach Italian, I focus on how language and literature are connected. Most tutors usually teach conversational Italian, but I think that reading, discussing, and analyzing classic and contemporary Italian works can give us a better understanding of the language's depth and beauty.In my classes, students will learn to speak fluently and also study famous Italian literature. To truly understand a language, it's important to consider the context and emotions behind the words.
Mr. Boucher's lessons are a delightful fusion of language and literature. The deep dives into Dante's works have given me an appreciation for Italian beyond just communication.
Hunter is a great teacher! He always brings a happy, positive vibe to his lessons, and it's clear that he wants to help you get the best results by working with your unique learning style. Even though his lessons are planned out and move quickly, he always finds time for funny stories or interesting facts about Italy. Working with him not only helps you learn the language well, but it also helps you build a great relationship. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to take lessons of Italian!
Being a literature enthusiast, Hunter's method of mixing language with literature has been both educational and fascinating. It's a unique approach that I wholeheartedly recommend.
MA in Italian Linguistics
I come from Rome, Italy, which is known as the cultural capital. I had the opportunity to explore the Italian culture firsthand. I got my MA from the University of Rome, La Sapienza. Then, I started teaching to share the beauty of the Italian language. In the last 15 years, I have helped many students improve their Italian language skills from beginner level to almost fluent.I have worked with Italian theaters to help bring plays to schools, which helps students learn about language and culture.
Italian is not just a language to me, it's a feeling. I focus on helping students understand and experience the language, rather than just memorizing it. I believe it's important to focus on grammar and vocabulary, but I also think it's helpful to have conversations, watch Italian plays, and cook Italian food together. This helps learners become familiar with the language and also includes its cultural aspects in the learning process.You must actively participate in my classes. I want my students to use Italian like they use their native language, whether they are discussing the theme of an Italian novel or pretending to be in an Italian marketplace.
Henry is a wonderful teacher for all levels. He will help you set reasonable goals, make sure you have a comfortable place to learn, and guide your learning as a beginner. He will also approach each lesson with excitement. He is a wonderful teacher!
Henry has been my teacher for two months, and it's been great to learn from him. He's been very patient with me, and the pace of his lessons is just right. If you are new to the language like I am, I really think you should go see him.
I never thought I'd enjoy cooking as a part of language learning. Making pasta while discussing in Italian was an unforgettable experience.
MA in Italian Philology and Translation
of connecting different languages. I worked as a translator for five years before becoming a teacher. For the past 12 years, I have enjoyed helping students understand the complex grammar of the Italian language, appreciate its musicality, and enjoy its expressive nature.I have also conducted workshops on translation, where I showed how we can express meaning in different languages while keeping the cultural significance intact.
I think immersion is important. Italian language has a unique essence that can be felt in its everyday usage, literature, and art. In my classes, students are encouraged to fully engage themselves. This includes having conversations, reading parts of famous Italian books, and even translating well-known songs.I focus on understanding rather than memorization. I make sure my students can use what they learn in real life, like when they go to Italy or watch an Italian film without subtitles.
Ms. Blanchet's sessions are an eye-opener. The translation exercises she provides have notably improved my understanding and appreciation of the Italian language. Wonderful teacher. Patient and easy to work with. I would suggest this class to anyone who wants to learn Italian in a fun and friendly setting:)
She's kind, clear, and always ready for class. The time goes by really quickly when she teaches this way. I'm happy with the three hours a week I work now. Also, it was nice of her to be flexible when I had to stop a lesson. I would definitely recommend it!.
I suggest Eva because she is a fun, well-trained teacher who wants me to get better at Italian. The lessons are both fun and well-planned, which makes the time we spend together very useful. I have tried many other ways to improve my Italian, but I think that spending time with Eva is by far the best way to make quick progress in all areas: speaking, writing, and understanding. All of these are important for everyday life.
MA in Italian Studies with a focus on Modern Literature
I got my MA in Italian Studies from the University of Florence. Then, I took a year off to travel around Italy and learn about the different dialects and cultures in each region. This trip helped me learn more about the Italian language than what I could learn from textbooks. I have been teaching students for 9 years. I combine traditional curriculum with my travel experiences. My students are enthusiastic.
To understand a language well, you need to learn about its culture, subtle differences, and the situations in which it is used. I teach more than just grammar and vocabulary. I teach students about Italian traditions, festivals, and the differences between regions. My students learn Italian by listening to stories, studying classic literature, and trying regional dishes. This helps them understand how the language is used in real life.Interactive sessions are important. I support students in talking, making errors, gaining knowledge, and becoming more confident in themselves.
After 8 weeks of lessons, I'm really happy with how things are going. He makes sure that every lesson is fun and fits my needs by paying attention to what I'm interested in and planning it around those. I'm very thankful for his help, and I would suggest him to anyone who wants to learn Italian.
Great tutor, very patient, and nice. It takes into account special needs (in my case ADHD) and changes the lesson plan to fit your needs. I would strongly suggest. Thank you, Benjamin
I appreciate his diverse teaching techniques. However, at times, I feel we divert too much from the syllabus. A balance would be ideal.
MA in Italian Linguistics and Literature
I got my MA in Italian Linguistics and Literature from the University of Rome. Then, I came back to my hometown with a goal: to teach young people about the Italian language and culture. I have been teaching Italian for the past 8 years, helping students become skilled in speaking the language and developing an appreciation for its literature.Outside of school, I have been fortunate enough to participate in Italian language workshops and cultural immersion programs. This has helped me strengthen my connection to the language and its rich history.
Learning a new language is not just about memorizing words or knowing grammar. I focus on a well-rounded approach where students learn the Italian language. I use Italian films, music, and literature in my lessons to help students learn the language in a real-life way.Feedback is important. I make sure to talk openly with my students, understand what they are good at and what they need to work on, and then adjust my teaching methods to help them.
Ariana is a great teacher, and her lesson plans are thorough and easy to follow. I felt like I had made a lot of progress after just one class. I strongly advise! To begin, she is very friendly, which makes it much easier to learn from her. She also makes sure that each lesson is relevant to your hobbies, which makes it easy to stay interested and motivated. She does a great job of explaining grammar and how words change in Italian compared to a straight translation into English. This helps me remember things and understand how sentences work better. I would definitely recommend her as a teacher to anyone, because even though I'm a beginner, I'm learning so quickly thanks to how well she teaches.
I love how she brings in different media like movies and songs to teach. I just wish we had a bit more time for spoken practice in class.
Her classes are informative, but they can sometimes feel packed. It's a bit overwhelming trying to keep up, especially with the cultural references.
I am glad I booked my sessions with Anas. He is the most competent, passionate and supportive Math teacher, and helped me reach my potential. My knowledge and grades impressively improved. Great tutor! I would recommend him to everyone looking for a math online tutor.
