Anne

I am a professional tutor with First Class Honours Degree in Italian offering individual and small group Italian tuition, tailored to meet each student's needs.

Lessons are available to students of all ages and levels (from beginner to advanced). I offer lessons either at my home or in the comfort of your house / workplace within 10 mile radius of St Albans. Since the Covid lockdown I offer lessons via Zoom. I currently have appointments available in the mornings, afternoons and evenings from Monday to Friday, Saturday morning and afternoon. I have previously taught Beginners and Improvers' lessons at Oaklands College for two years.

Furthermore, I have a TEFL Certificate and have taught English as a Foreign Language at Barnfield College. I studied for this Certificate at Luton University and did my teaching practice there during evening classes.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught at GCSE level in a local school - all students gained A* results. In the past I have had several small group lessons for the more mature students and have tutored 7 students taking AS and A2. I have taught a total of 30 Students at GCSE Level, 27 candidates achieved Grade A* or A and 3 Grade B.

In the 2019 Exam my student achieved Grade 8.
I have also taught online via Zoom
I have in the past taught the Beginners Italian Classes at Oaklands College.
I have taught several students English as a Foreign Language.
In 2018 I tutored a student at the Boccone University in Milan via Zoom for the CILS Exam

In 2022 I tutored two students for the GCSE, both gained A grades.

Tutoring Approach

I use a large range of books and worksheets to teach the grammar. I have the last 20 years GSCE and A Level exam papers. I have many novels written in Italian. Realia, c.ds, newspaper articles and sometimes films are used. All of my materials for teaching/enjoyment of the Italian Language are available to students should they wish to borrow.

Some of my current students, who have property in Italy bring correspondence they wish to translate to the lessons.
