About me - English
Hi! I’m Jessica 😊
I’m Italian, from Rome, and I’ve been teaching Italian since 2019. I work online with students from all over the world and I successfully teach learners with different language backgrounds, such as Arabic, Chinese, German, Polish, and many others.
I specialize in online teaching and I constantly keep myself updated on the best methods for teaching at a distance, making my students feel as if they were attending an in-person lesson.
My goal is to help you see concrete results from the very beginning and to support you in becoming independent in using the Italian language.
Qualifications & Experience
I hold a degree in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners, with a focus on language teaching.
I am certified DILIT and DITALS teacher and a certified CELI examiner.
I am also a Relational Educational Operator, a qualification that allows me to support students by paying attention to motivation, emotions, and possible learning difficulties.
Over the years, I have completed several professional development courses in foreign language teaching, both online and in-person, in order to continuously improve my teaching skills and offer effective online lessons.
Teaching Approach
I use a communicative, learning-by-doing approach, which allows students to enter real language practice from the very beginning. We work with Italian in concrete and meaningful situations, focusing on communication.
Practical activities are always combined with reflection on grammar and language use, explained in a clear and functional way. This helps students immediately apply what they are learning.
Each learning path is personalized: based on the student’s needs-expressed directly by the learner and observed during lessons-I focus differently on speaking, listening, reading, and writing, according to individual goals.
Sono italiana, di Roma, e insegno italiano dal 2019. Lavoro online con studenti da tutto il mondo e insegno con successo a persone con lingue di partenza diverse, come arabo, cinese, tedesco, polacco e molte altre.
Sono specializzata nelle lezioni online: mi tengo costantemente aggiornata sulle migliori strategie per insegnare a distanza e far sentire i miei studenti come in una vera lezione in presenza.
Il mio obiettivo è farti vedere risultati concreti fin da subito e aiutarti a diventare autonomo nell’uso della lingua italiana.
Qualifications & Experience
Sono laureata in Lingua e Cultura Italiana per Stranieri, con curriculum didattico-linguistico.
Possiedo le certificazioni DILIT e DITALS per l’insegnamento dell’italiano come lingua straniera e sono esaminatrice CELI certificata.
Sono anche Operatrice Educativa Relazionale, una competenza che mi permette di accompagnare gli studenti con attenzione alle emozioni, alla motivazione e alle eventuali difficoltà di apprendimento.
Nel corso degli anni ho seguito numerosi corsi di aggiornamento sull’insegnamento delle lingue straniere, sia in presenza sia online, per migliorare costantemente le mie competenze e offrire lezioni efficaci anche a distanza.
Teaching Approach
Utilizzo un metodo comunicativo e learning by doing, che porta lo studente fin da subito nella pratica reale della lingua italiana. Parliamo, ascoltiamo e utilizziamo l’italiano in situazioni concrete, così da sentirne subito l’utilità.
La pratica è sempre accompagnata da momenti di riflessione sulla grammatica e sull’uso corretto della lingua, spiegati in modo semplice e funzionale. In questo modo lo studente vede immediatamente come applicare ciò che sta imparando.
Ogni percorso è personalizzato: in base alle esigenze che lo studente esprime e che verifico durante le lezioni, mi concentro in modo diverso su parlato, ascolto, lettura e scrittura, creando un equilibrio adatto ai suoi obiettivi.
