Reading and Writing with a Professionally-Licensed Educator
My first priority is making sure your student understands that I'm not extra, boring schooling. With my fifteen years of experience in mentoring and my commitment to understanding students' needs, we will accomplish this within our first meeting.
Often times, students need either support with structure or being intellectually challenged, but I offer both these outcomes. I look at previous assignments and assessments, and I use this data to understand what skills to focus on, accordingly with the standards of your country's education system (I'm familiar with the American and German standards). I also take into account, however, what exists outside of the data, including interests and needs not specified on paper. I tailor my lessons then to be worth everyone's time. I foster skills in research, organization, and writing so that students will continue benefiting long after our sessions. I utilize tools, such as games, and projects to take learning off the page.
My courses are aimed at primary and secondary school students, but I also take on working adults and college and graduate-level students as I support effective literacy at every level.

Russian Language A1 - C2 / Русский язык и литератураHi All,
thank you for checking out my course.
This class is open to students of all levels. Whether you are only starting to learn the wild-looking letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, or whether you are looking to practise your written and spoken Russian, I would be delighted to accompany you at any stage of your Russian-learning journey. For more advanced students, I would be happy to help you get to know one of the most defining aspects of the Russian language, namely its novels and poetry, which would be a great way to learn about the 'mysterious' Russian soul.
I believe that studying in three different countries have allowed me to try out and assess various approaches to education in general and teaching languages in particular - from the rigourous Russian system based on ensuring that the students will obtain exceptional spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation skills, to the more relaxed yet more critical and analytical Western approach, focused on problem-solving and independent work.
You will get the benefit of a vast bank of techniques, methods and learning materials that I have developed and accumulated over the past year will be used in class to pique and maintain your interest. And since I was once a language student too, I would be able to share my personal tips and tricks with you to help you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself - be it being able to wow your friends and family by reciting a poem in the language of Dostoyevski, or impressing your future collegues with the thorough knowledge of Russian current affairs in their mother tongue!

"Non siamo solo pasta e pizza"; how to learn all about Italian language!I'm a native Italian speaker, English B2, freelance journalist/web writer.
Born and raised in italy, I graduated in Communication in 2017 and then, I left my comfort zone moving to London. Now I live in Berlin.
My method based on many shades of italian language; grammar, listening, speaking, reading, everything that helps you live the language.
But, most of all, I focus on infotainment; yes, information and entertainment, a surprising mix if you can use it in a right way.
It's my first experience but I'm pretty excited! So, I'm ready to teach you all about Italian. Besides some native tricks you can't learn studying grammar!
I'm looking forward to start this journey.
See you soon!
A presto!
