Hi! My name is Luisa and I am Italian. I have been living in UK for the last 12 years. I live in a little town near London. Teaching is the career that gives me most enjoyment and reward, and the feedback I receive on a regular basis (from students and colleagues) tells me that my enthusiasm for teaching Italian is passed on to my students.
Before I came to the UK I was a qualified teacher in Italy, teaching English to adults. I have a degree in Pedagogy, which I took in 1996 at the University of Cassino. I have also a Certification in Education, which I took 3 years ago at the University of Sussex. For the last 8 years I have been teaching Italian (from beginner to advanced level) in FE Colleges and Universities. I have also run courses in Italian for holidays and for business purposes. I teach face-2-face and online.
I enjoy variety in my teaching, and it is also necessary to meet the needs of different students:
• As standard practice I use CD player, games, online quizzes, and power point presentations in my lessons, but the emphasis of activity is on communication and dialogue and we spend a lot of time practicing listening and speaking.
• My individual tuition focuses even more strongly on conversational Italian, especially where the students have been more advanced.
My teaching style is very friendly and professional. The content of the course is always discussed with the students so I can meet their needs.
My lessons are currently held at my place, however I am prepared to travel to the student's place with an extra charge for at least a 90 minutes lesson.
Please feel free to give me a call for an informal chat and to go through any queries you might have.
I look forward to hearing from you and to help you in your Italian study!
Ciao, Luisa Romano
