  My Italian Way

  Mar 2015 - now

  Organization Manager - tutor of Italian as a second language (online and face to face)

  My Italian Way is for all those who love Italy and would like to learn and improve the Italian language in a natural way. We offer Italian language courses on Skype, courses (mini groups or individual lessons) in Rome, in Santa Marinella or (if planned in advance) in Sardinia. We also offer the chance to experience the country because students might choose some activities for their free time which will give them the opportunity to be with other Italians. To sum up, I would like to offer the chance to live a different and more authentic Italian experience. I have been working as a freelance tutor of Italian as second language for more than 10 years, I have met students from everywhere in the world and I have worked for companies, private schools, embassies, with children and adults. But, before that, I was a student of foreign languages and literatures and I graduated at the University La Sapienza in Rome. During this time, I had the opportunity to live abroad in different countries. With time and experience I realized that the best way to learn a language is by doing something that you like or are interested in. In order to really learn it, you need to “feel” the language and to make it yours because when you really need them, words will come! Show less

  Magic teacher for English, Italian as a second language, Spanish and German - Hocus&Lotus

  The foreign language is learned through the creation of a context in which we speak, live and act exclusively in the new language: this is the fantastic world of Hocus & Lotus. The two little dinocrocs, with their dinosaur tail and their single crocodile tooth, experience fantastic and exciting adventures alongside the children.With Hocus & Lotus the children engage in a variety of activities characterized by affection and emotional involvement and structured in such a way that they respect the rhythm, time and skills of each and every one of them, by going through the different stages of native language acquisition process.
