Class Experience

Art, Italian, and Fun With A Native Speaker! Ages 4-8
In this ongoing class, students will make an art project each week and learn the Italian vocabulary for that week’s theme. In class I will speak in Italian and repeat in English while guiding the students through the projects to familiarize! l the students with the Italian language sounds. The class has fun vocabulary that kids will enjoy learning. The class will be structured in the following way: 
- Introductions, practice “Ciao!” (Hello), “Come stai?” (How are you?), “Bene!” (Good)
- Vocabulary introduction 
- Project creation 
- Review game and goodbye
This is an ongoing course, so students may begin or leave the course at any time. The materials for this course in general are always: paper, markers, glue, child safe scissors, the printable for each class. The colors necessary for the project will be written in the materials.

Learning Goals
Students will learn fun vocabulary words and familarize themselves with the language sounds in Italian. They will learn by creating the main art project of the class and play a game at the end to reinforce vocabulary. The main goal for this class is to build vocabulary with words that young children enjoy. We will learn important words such as emotions, clothes, weather, but also fun words such as animals, princesses, and more!

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am an Italian-American teacher who grew up between Florence, Italy and Pennsylvania USA. I am an Italian as a second language and ESL teacher with over six years of teaching experience. I am a native Italian and English speaker, and grew up in a bilingual household. I love teaching kids of all ages and throughout my teaching career; I have taught students from ages 3-18. I have been teaching Italian on Outschool for two years and love sharing my passion for languages with my students. I currently create and teach Italian and English classes in creative ways through interactive slides, games, art, and more. My greatest passion is teaching, and I want to make the classroom a fun environment for my students!

I have a B.A. and M.A. in Communication Science, a TESOL certificate, and an Italian language C2 certification. I recently graduated with my Master's in Marketing Management. I also have worked with children for years teaching multiple age groups and many subjects in English and Italian. I have created my own curriculum and have a unique teaching style which follows a hands-on approach.

My teaching style is fun, engaging and personal. I want to get to know my students and I want their class time with me to be a complete learning experience that focuses on hands-on learning.

So why study languages? Why study Italian or English? Language development is fundamental for young learners. Foreign language studies also peak curiosity in learners, both younger and older. Italian is a useful language nowadays, not just for the language but also to improve logic, language arts, and it can serve as a starting point for other Latin languages. English is a necessary language today for life and for work. I hope to bring my passion for this beautiful language into your child's life. 

I offer a variety of courses. I love Outschool, because I can teach my language, but also my passions, such as marketing, social studies, and more! I hope to see your learner in my classroom soon.

Class information and policies:
* I do accept last-minute bookings for one-time, multi-day, and ongoing courses. Private lessons must be scheduled and booked 24 hours in advance. This is to allow me to prepare the material for your child, since it is a personalized class. 
* I follow the Outschool refund policies, therefore if you withdraw your learner 24 hours before the one-time class I will refund you. 
* It is Outschool policy for parents to stay off camera during classes. If you would like to discuss anything with me about lessons or your child, please send me a message on OS! 
* Class times are approximate. I may run a few minutes late if everyone is finishing a project.
