About me - English
Hello, my name is André. I am 29 years old and I was born in Paris where I grew up. At 18 I travelled to Italy (country of my parents), in the "Marche", because I wanted to live another life, another culture and continue my studies at the university. I have been living here for 10 years and now I want to go back to Paris and do some travelling around Europe...
I am a friendly person. I love to be around people.
Qualifications & Experience
I am a recognised teacher from a year now in my home town but I have been teaching since I started university. My first stage in a workplace was in a school of languages (Komalingua). My qualification is my bachelor's degree in languages and communication which I concluded in 2012 by writing a thesis on French-Italian Bilingualism. My experience is composed of various things:
1°Since 2006 I have been helping students at home.
2° from last september I hold lessons weekly at the university (as a lecturer).
3° during the spring and the summer of 2012/2013 I have repeatedly been travelling to the U.K. and Ireland with students from France and Italy.
Teaching Approach
I would start with simple words and gradually increase the level of your comprehension skill and together we will create a vocabulary (list of words we learn). I would let you listen to the language because what's important for students is to listen before speaking. A beginner book is provided for French students.
Regarding writing skills I will create a test for you. (dictée in French).
I will guide you through the difficult part of Learning a Language...
Ciao, mi chiamo Andrea e ho 29 anni. Sono originario di Civitanova Marche ma sono nato in Francia. Sono cresciuto a Parigi trascorrendoci la maggior parte del tempo, soprattutto per andare a scuola, e durante le estati tornavo in Italia con la mia famiglia. Da 10 anni mi sono trasferito in Italia dove ho continuato i miei studi all'università.
Sono una persona amichevole, paziente ed istruita. Amo leggere e viaggiare, trascorrere del tempo con i miei amici, mangiare con la mia famiglia.
Qualifications & Experience
Da un anno a questa parte sono un insegnante di Francese per la biblioteca comunale di Civitanova Marche ma da quando ho iniziato l'università ho insegnato a ragazzi e ragazze qua e là. Mi sono laureato, nel 2012, con il massimo dei voti in Mediazione Linguistica all'università di Macerata, presentaì una tesi sul bilinguismo franco-italiano. Ho trascorso il mio stage formativo durante un anno in una scuola di lingue (Komalingua)... Da allora ho avuto svariati alunni, grandi e piccoli, e ho tenuto lezioni sia di Francese che di Italiano per persone individuali o in gruppo.
Teaching Approach
Il mio approccio di insegnamento è soprattutto cognitivo e molto orale. Mi ascolterete per poi ripetere. Vi insegnerò a pensare nella lingua scelta, quindi un insegnamento con poca grammatica e tanti vocaboli. Completeremo le lezioni con un riassunto e un dettato per verificare le competenze. Un libro per principianti vi sarà fornito.
