Class Experience

Welcome to my First Semester for little Polyglots!
In this ten-week course, the student will have 2 live meetings weekly, with a duration of 45 minutes.
This course is exclusively 1:1 (siblings can be enrolled in the same class), as the teacher focuses on one student to achieve a fast and progressive linguistic level. 
The course material is tailored based on the student's proficiency. 

There are three levels:
- Beginner (A0-A1): student with little or no Italian knowledge 
- Intermediate (A2-B1): the student can understand easy questions and create short sentences
- Advanced (B1-B2): the student can understand more complex questions and speak with little or no breaks easily and fluidly.

Learning a new language involves listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In the area of language learning, these four skills are critically important. My course focuses on all four skills, explaining vocabulary and grammar easily and putting them into practice through conversation and listening.

During the class, the student:
- will be able to ask any questions regarding Italy or the Italian language 
- will receive the notes and pdf 
- will receive worksheets to complete and practice 
- will play interactive games 
- will practice through Quizlet 

The classes include:
- Creative Visual Aids
- Games
- Activities
- Relaxed & Fun Atmosphere
- Reading and writing
- Speaking activities and prompts

Beginner topics (simple example):
- greetings 
- colours 
- useful sentences 
- gender and number 
- animals
- present tense

Intermidiar topics (simple example):
- past tense
- future tense
- my dream house
- my planet 

⇨Why is Italian essential?
First of all, Italian is a beautiful language. It’s considered to be the language of love and culture. Its Latin heritage makes Italian a fundamental language in art and history. Just consider that over 60% of the world’s art treasures are found in Italy. 
Being a Latin language, it could be a bridge to other languages with the exact origin, such as Spanish, French and Portuguese. So, learning Italian as a child will ease learning a new Latin language in the future! Speaking different languages will guarantee better career opportunities in the future and boost SAT scores.
Italian is relatively easy to learn compared to French or other Latin languages. It has the same alphabet as English, and words are pronounced more or less as they are written. Learning Italian will allow your kids to get to know the Italian culture, literature and history, travel to Italy and communicate with locals. Italy has some of the best universities in the world, so it would also be an excellent opportunity to study and make a career there!

Italian classes for kids:
➤Learning a new language is fun and interesting
➤Help the kids develop their brains faster and have a better understanding of the world and culture
➤It can be an advantage from an academic point of view
➤Bilingual children and adults are better at staying focused, problem-solving, and recognising and acting on new inputs, making school and business life more manageable.
➤Simply thinking in another language has been shown to help people make quicker, better decisions.
➤Speaking a foreign language presents better educational and career prospects and the opportunity for a higher standard of living.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My curriculum 
➯ Online ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher (ITALKI). 
I have been an online teacher for three years. I have taught students ages 3-18 years old. I have taught reading comprehension, writing, spelling, and primary and intermediate grammar in this position. I also helped Romanian and Italian kids with their first to sixth-grade English homework.

➯ Online Italian language teacher (ITALKI).
For three years, I have worked full-time as an Italian teacher. I teach for all levels of the CEFR (The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). I focus on vocabulary, grammar, speaking, reading and listening. I have planned curriculum activities, tutored, and worked with students in 1-to-1 and large groups. The youngest is around three years old, and the oldest is over 60.

➯ Online Romanian language teacher (ITALKI)
I have worked as a part-time Romanian teacher for young and teenage students (8-16) for the past three years. I created individualised plans to reach each student's goal.

➯ Online Italian language teacher (VERBLING)
I worked for about two years on this platform. I have taught literature, maths, science and music in Italian, helping the kids with homework and exams. I helped Romanian kids learn Italian to adapt quickly to the new country and not feel marginalised.

➯  Teacher for 'Friendly Classes' Zoom meetings (PRIVATE ZOOM CLASSES)
Two years ago, I created the initiative of 'Friendly Classes' where my students from all over the world meet and learn together different topics. I divided the classes into ages 4-6 years old, 7-11 years old and 12-16 years old. The length varies between 35 and 60 minutes, based on the class and kids' interaction. I teach about climate change, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Easter, Hanukkah, Halloween, National Days of different countries, Ramadan, etc. 

➯ Daycare assistant in a Bilingual Kindergarten (Terni, Italy)
Before the pandemic, I worked in a bilingual (English-Italian) kindergarten for a few months. I played and taught basic English knowledge to kids between one and four years old. I was responsible for some kids with autism, dyslexia and 2E (twice exceptional). 

➯ Nursery teacher (Onesti, Romania)
In 2021 I travelled around Europe and worked as a volunteer in various places with children. I found an incredible small city in Romania called Onesti, where I taught Romanian and Italian to kids between two and five years old. 

➯ Volunteer at the Ukrainian borders (Siret, Romania)
Between the 28th of February and the 20th of March, I volunteered at the borders between Romania and Ukraine. I took care of a group of 13 orphans that crossed the borders alone and introduced them to the new environment. I helped the parents learn practical phrases in English, Romanian or Italian to make them accommodate and feel safe. I still support them through weekly Zoom meetings, where they receive psychological help and language classes.
