As an Italian Assistant at Manchester Grammar School, I specialize in helping A-Level students advance their Italian language skills in a way that’s both immersive and enjoyable. Working alongside Italian teachers, I tailor my approach to each student's level and needs, focusing either on foundational Italian (vocabulary, grammar, phrases) or more advanced conversational skills.

My classes are highly interactive and designed to bring Italian culture to life. We dive into real-life scenarios—like ordering in a restaurant or planning a trip—to practice practical language use. I also incorporate current Italian news and pop culture through newspapers, videos, and trending music, giving students a chance to discuss and analyze modern Italy. To add a sense of accomplishment, we often engage in project-based learning where students research, create presentations, or even produce short Italian podcasts or videos, sparking creativity and collaboration.

To keep things dynamic, I use games and friendly competitions that make language learning enjoyable and memorable. With each class, I aim to inspire a genuine connection to Italian culture, encouraging students not only to learn but to experience the language firsthand. My goal is for students to feel confident expressing themselves in Italian, both inside and outside the classroom.
