I don't assign homework, but I encourage doing something throughout the week, such as picking out an everyday object and then learning its name in Italian, or choosing a favorite subject we can translate while practicing vocabulary during the lessonAssessment
I encourage students to stay organized with the use of notebooks and a folder to keep worksheets organized. I do informal assessments as we go, to evaluate learning progressClass Experience
In this class, we will continue to build skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in Italian while learning new vocabulary and expressions about everyday topics. Topics include food, travel, music, and daily activities. Students will practice conversation in Italian and pronunciation, grammar, and Italian culture. I will expose the students to the language in each class, encouraging students with games, music, and instructional videos. I am a patient, enthusiastic, positive, challenging, and motivating teacher. I always have a lesson plan, but I can be flexible if required ( I believe this to be important). Students will continue to learn to understand and communicate in Italian in a range of everyday situations, become more aware of the culture and diversity of Italy and its regions, and develop study skills to become a successful language learner.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Lucia, and I am an Italian and English language teacher. Born in Italy, I moved to the US as a child and made it my home. I am a native Italian speaker fluent in English, which I learned as a second language. Drawing from my own bilingual journey, I'm eager to share the effective tools and tips that helped me master English.
For the past 15 years, I have refined my teaching methodology through a variety of class settings and educational environments. My expertise includes a diverse range of tailored courses: language and cultural immersion for children aged 6-12; interactive sessions that combine Italian language lessons with cultural and culinary experiences for all ages; conversational Italian classes tailored to individual needs; academic lectures at Lake Michigan College; and foundational Italian at Lincoln Elementary School.
Additionally, I have taught English to my children and now extend this legacy to the new generation of my family, providing online lessons to my grandchildren and nephews in Italy.
I look forward to helping you embark on your language-learning journey. Ciao, a presto!Reviews
