TEACHER

When I start teaching a new group of learners, I try to determine their learning habits, previous experience with language acquisition, and level of comfort with different aspects of the target language and different activities. In a remote learning environment, I will ask students to complete different tasks at home, such as listening or reading and comprehension, grammar exercises, and then guide them through more communicative activities during the lesson, without changing the authentic materials and the real-life use of the language I tend to prioritize. Students always know more than they realize, so I will encourage them to share their knowledge and take the initiative, but also to be patient when faced with new challenges, and to trust the process!

TEACHER

Filippo was born in Florence, where he studied communication and journalism and completed a specialized course in teaching Italian as a foreign language.

Filippo loves teaching Italian because his journalism career has allowed him to explore the “BelPaese” from north to south, delving into its culture, traditions, and dialects.

His great passion and vocation are to share this knowledge with his students.

TEACHER

I love inspiring students to gain a deeper appreciation of Italian, by providing dynamic instructional activities tailored to each student's needs.
