I took the "second level DITALS" certification for teaching Italian to foreigners in 2011

Hi! My name is Marialuisa and I was born in Rome, but now I live in Bergamo. Since I received my certification I have started giving private lessons to students of all levels. I'm university graduate in philosophy and I'm a Certified Italian teacher for foreigners (with certification to teach Italian to foreigners DITALSII). I have taught students from various background, ages, and level. I also have experience of proficiency tests, like CELI, CILS and PLIDA.I carry out my work with passion using the communicative method, which motivates the students and encourages them to speak in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The lessons will be scheduled according to the student's needs, and will take place through the use of authentic materials: audios (radio, ads, songs, news broadcasts, phone messages, etc.), videos (radio and TV podcasts, photographs, postcards, weather reports, etc.) to writings (newspaper, classified ads, travel brochures, menus, maps, blogs, flyers, etc.).
