Teaching Approach
As a teacher, I find it extremely rewarding working with teenagers and adults because I can share my enthusiasm and motivation with theirs. I love meeting the needs of each student’s learning style by bringing a wide range of different activities into the classroom. I am experienced in handling vatied class sizes, mixed level groups and one-to-one classes.
I adopt a communicative approach to teaching and I have a proven track record of being able to create a relaxed atmosphere in the classroom, to make learning fun and to engage students through topics designed for maximum oral interaction

Teaching Approach
Grazie alla mia considerevole esperienza, sono in grado di applicare molteplici approcci e metodi didattici che mi consentono di rendere le mie lezioni dinamiche, divertenti e autenticamente interattive. Posseggo ottime doti gestionali (coordino classi di circa 15 studenti) e organizzative. Ho sviluppato una solida sensibilità verso il lavoro in team, ho imparato a essere proattivo e determinato e ad affinare le mie doti di flessibilità, pazienza e precisione, con una spiccata predisposizione al problem solving
