English Tutor at University of Catania | Engaging Lessons, Interactive Discussions, Grammar Focus

I have been teaching English Language and Literature for almost 4 years, I am passionate about teaching and tutoring. I have a Master's Degree in Languages for International Cooperation and a TEFL Certificate. I love teaching because helping students makes me feel accomplished: my goal is making students feel comfortable and relaxed while studying and learning. Thanks to me students will learn that English is not just a school subject, but it is everything: knowing this beautiful language means having the chance to travel everywhere and get to know and meet people from all around the world. English is a tool, a mean of communication, the key that will let you open all the doors you want. I am Italian and I would be glad to share and teach something about my mothertongue language as well. I love drawing, reading novels and comics, writing poems and stories and working-out.

My personalized tutoring approach focuses on getting to know the student, understand their needs and their goals. Teaching means listening and answering to what your students may be curious about. I like giving lessons about: reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar; mastering these skills is what the student will have to achieve. Studying English is not only about the Language itself, but it is also about the culture, that is why I would be more than happy to teach about English literature, art and history. When I talk about art I do not strictly mean the study of painters and paintings: I also mean the study/reading of comics (they are the perfect tools to learn a foreign language, thanks to the perfect combination of words and pictures); watching films and tvseries and listening to music, everything can be useful to learn about English culture.
