    Teaching Approach


    You can choose between: Classes + Itinerary/les sons + crash courses on holiday


    1) Classes (in person or via Skype): Teaching Approach & Program Description
    When I teach Italian I try to concentrate both on grammar and vocabulary, and enjoying our lessons teaching you something about our culture.
    Dur ing my classes you will find explanations of the basic structures of Italian grammar, as well as many exercises through which you can practice what you have learned. Following the excellent advice of some of my students, I will also be including several interactive exercises for you to complete and receive immediate feedback on.
    We will discuss about Italian life, habits, food, songs, we will read newspaper articles, listen to music and sing (!?), and comment on figurative or descriptive texts on the topics of art, culture, politics and society. A lexical expansion of the topics of conversation takes place, so the language student can understand in different situations and express him/herself in a better way.
    By means of communication the language students become familiar with the Italian language, pronunciation and correct intonation.
    Classes can take place in the most convenient place (usually a bar or library...)
    We can have classes during your stay in Florence (long or short) or via Skype. I'm also using really good text books available both in Europe and in America or on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Fnac.com, Fnac.fr...).
    Classes are available for groups or individuals and from 5 to 99 years old. I can also help you or your family to organize your trip in Italy.

    2) Itinerary-cla sses:
    Working in schools for foreigners, I realized that learning Italian where it is really spoken and where Italians are living, is much more motivating and inspiring. If you can learn in a friendly and informal ambience, in direct contact with the everyday life, you can easily overcome the psychological barrier of speaking a foreign language and you can enjoy and learn at the same time.
    My itinerary are designed for those who want to learn Italian (and how to survive here!) and deepen their knowledge of the language.
    It ineraries are flexible, depending on your specific needs/interes ts:
    Do you want to understand what is "an aperitivo", an "etto crudo" or you want to learn expressions and vocabulary needed to make purchases at the market? Do you need to discover/tast e the best ice cream in the city, how to order "una coppetta di gelato" or the difference between "caffé macchiato caldo" and "caffé corretto"? Do you want to learn Italian just walking in the city center/in a garden/in a library?
    I can guide you as you discover how Italians shop at the market, how they spend their time outdoors, how they enjoy themselves at the table and, at the same time, you can learn useful expressions.

    3)Crash course on holidays:
    Do you want to visit Sicily, Veneto Region, Toscana, Marche Region, Puglia, Capri........ ........? Do you want to see some non-touristy small town where only Italian is spoken?
    I can help you to organize every part of your travel, (accommodatio n/tours etc...), I can come with you and we can have Italian lessons during the day, so the teaching hours can be integrated with very interesting walks to the local street markets, medieval town, small local museums..... Please contact me for prices and further information.


    Program Description


    CIAO e BENVENUTO/A!
    Are you planning on coming to Italy on holiday, business or studies?
    Wou ld you simply like to know more about this wonderful country?
    Do you know enough Italian for daily life... to go shopping, to reserve a hotel room or to request a table at the restaurant?

    About me:
    I'm Italian and I'm a qualified Italian teacher (Ditals Certificate, University of Siena). I work in a school for foreigners and as a private (in person and via skype) teacher in Florence.
    I have a Masters degree Philosophy and Italian and a languages high qualification (English, French, Italian).
    I took my first degree at the University of Padova but I finished my studies in Paris and Nice where i worked for a cultural center, as Italian teacher, research assistant and tour guide.
    I moved to Florence five years ago, because I love this city. Here I worked as a researcher (University of Florence), student advisor and Italian, History and Philosophy teacher.
    I also worked in Finland as Italian teacher for few months.

    Why teaching?
    A very exciting thing for me in the last 8 years has been sharing my knowledge with my students: it's fantastic and I’ve found that teaching Italian to foreigners has helped me to appreciate much more my own language and culture.







    Teaching Experience


    I have been teaching for 7 years Italian, both in a schools and privately in France, Finland and Italy.
    I teach beginners as well as advanced students.
    It has been a great experience of life leaving in another country, working there and meeting new friends and people. I love learning new things, speaking with people and also learning things from them.

    " Roberta is amazing and you should study with her!!!! Period. That’s all you need to know. However, if you require more information, well here goes:
    I have taken many classes at various schools, both in New York City and Firenze. Although I’ve learned a lot, I have never learned so quickly and so effectively as I have with Roberta. Honestly, my comprehension has increased more than ever before! That is not an exaggerated statement. It is true. Even my Italian speaking friends have noticed and commented on this.
    Roberta has an amazing style of teaching by gently guiding me along, and explaining in a way that makes it easy to remember. I find myself using the new vocabulary, and verb conjugations, immediately and with confidence.nI very much look forward to our lessons via Skype - me in New York City and she in Firenze. Not only is she my amazing teacher, but she has quickly become my friend. She has an incredible energy about her that is truly inspiring! I have recommended Roberta to many colleagues and friends and I highly encourage you to study with her. I promise you that your Italian will be fantastico!! Patricia Geremia "
