What kind of experience do you have?
I am experienced in teaching Italian and Spanish at all leveIs (grammar, conversation, writing, A level, K/S 3 & 4, preparation for university exams, small & large groups, one-to-one tuitions). My teaching approach is communicative and highly interactive, entirely focused on the student's individual needs and motivations. I provide my students with tailor made syllabuses and action-oriented activities. Learning a language means to gain the necessary cultural and communicative competences to carry out everyday life tasks in the target language and culture. I can cater for all ability ranges and I am experienced in teaching to adults as well as to teen-agers. I started with this extremely rewarding profession when I was a university student, still back home. There, during my degree and particularly soon after my Master's, I gained different work placements in Secondary and Adult Education, NGO, along with acquiring an extensive experience as a one-to-one and small groups tutor. I currently live in London, where I am working as an Italian/Spanish teacher for "Cactus Language", as well as a private tutor.

Roberta has been an amazing tutor. She was very helpful with explaining the concepts and her steps to solving problems made the course so much easier to understand.
