Hello!
My name is Francesca. I have recently graduated from my master's degree at the University of Oxford, where I studied Comparative Literature and Critical Translation. For my bachelor's degree, I studied at the University of Warwick where I received a first class BA in English and Italian literature.
Being an Italian born in Switzerland (a multicultural and multilingual country), having studied in England and in Italy, and having lived in Portugal, different languages and cultures have always been an essential part of my daily life.
Moreover, having studied multiple languages myself, I am particularly aware of the difficulties inherent in learning a foreign language.
When teaching Italian, I shape my classes according to the students’ individual needs.
I believe in enriching vocabulary and grammar lessons with little written tasks and oral conversations about Italian culture and current topics. This allows to put the theory into practice and contextualisation, and to render the classes more engaging and interesting. I also use translation as a powerful tool to delve into further aspects of the studied language.
Any questions? Please contact me for further information!
With the right approach, anyone can learn a new language!
Learning a foreign language takes time and patience. But this doesn't mean it can't be fun: I aspire to make my classes interactive and engaging, and by tailoring them to the specific needs of my students I help them achieve their potential without wasting time!
