I'm friendly, patient and professional.

I always try to make my students feel comfortable, conducting my lessons in a relaxing and interesting way.

I generally lead my lessons as much as possible in Italian, supporting and facilitating in this way the new linguistic input.

I always ask my students what their motivation and language goals are.

I prepare personalized lesson plans, aligning them with the aims of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

After each lesson, I use to send homework, exercises and linguistic material by email.
