Nicolò Zanetti

I am extremely open to students of any level, thus I am willing to adapt my lessons to whatever your needs or preferences might be. My typical class starts with a small warm up in order to set the tone and get you to think in English. I will then introduce the topic of the day and the objective we should both aim to achieve by the end of the class. The main part of the class will entail you practising the language, whether it's with controlled or free practice exercises. The second half of the class will focus on the listening, speaking, reading, and writing parts of the language, with activities such as reading a short story or listening to an audio clip, followed by comprehension questions. I always like to end the lesson with a small recap of what has been learned and asking my students something interesting they learned from the class! Depending on how the class went, I would also assign homework tasks such as writing a small paragraph or even watching a YouTube video in English.

The teacher-student interaction will be friendly and I always aim to create a supportive environment where students can feel at ease in experimenting new things. My activities are interactive and the student is always involved as much as possible in order to gain the most from the lesson. I have been exposed to an international environment since I was very young, growing up in Italy, studying in the Netherlands, and now being in Scotland, thus I have met people coming from places all around the world. Basically, everyone is welcome to join my course!
