Finally I have decided to go a step further. Now I am accepting applications for students of Italian. I will teach them Italian (did I write that I am Italian mother tongue?) I come from the only part of Italy where Italian is spoken properly (Tuscany) and I have a deep knowledge of the Italian grammar as well of course the perfect pronunciation of words. I heard a few “Teachers of Italian” and I was horrified; they have probably learned Italian on CD’s!!
My teaching philosophy is simple. To teach how to speak Italian as any good Italian should do! Not boring lessons, but talking with students exclusively in Italian and giving examples of real life talks. Pronunciation is very important to me, so be assured that you will learn more than enough to speak a correct Italian!
I am also buying a few teaching instruments such as a special DVD player; to my students I will show some Italian an American (with Italian dialogues) movies. I will charge $40 per hour, but for the first 10 students I am giving $5 off per lesson. The minimum commitment is for 2 months and there is a $25 registration fee. The student must buy the text book. These rates are for one to one lessons; for lessons to multiple students, quotes on request.
