Teaches

I am a Master's Graduate in Public Health Nutrition and currently work as a Communication Officer for EU-funded projects. I was born and raised in Bologna, Italy, and travel-hopped for studies and work during my 20s, before settling in Brussels three years ago.
I have quite some experience in teaching both Italian and English. My most intense years of teaching were in London where I provided individual classes to adults interested in learning the language for about 4 years. As a first step, I always do a preliminary assessment to understand: i what is the person's objectives, what is their level of Italian, and iii) their speed of learning so that I can prepare custom-made classes. Once in a while I also used to organize group meetings/reunions to allow people to have the possibility to speak in Italian with fellow students and to get an additional opportunity to practice.
In my personal experience, I have also taught English to primary school children so I am well acquainted with learning techniques for children and I have gained skills that I could use to teach Italian to children aged 7-11.
How complex Italian is depends on the languages that the learner already speaks and their language skills! However, do not worry! :) Like everything in life, it is a practice that makes things perfect and with some guidance, fun learning, and a few tips, you will be able to learn Italian and hold fluent conversations in a social environment!
Brussels is a hub of Italian-speaking people. As I always say, If you do not speak French or Flemish and you are in the center of Brussels needing help... try Italian! There will always be someone ready to reply :) In addition to this, Brussels offers many Italian-based (and not only) events (comedies, theatre, concerts, even bars full of Italians) so you will have the opportunity to put your skills to the test anytime you wish!
