I am an Italian MA graduate in International Relations currently living in South Korea, and I've past experience (especially throughout my academic studies) in doing private tutoring classes for students wishing to improve their Italian. I believe that patience and responsiveness to the student's needs are essential in teaching any language, and Italian is no expection. This is why I see the role of teacher as one that blends together the need to support the student during his/her learning process and at the same time the necessity to give the student his/her own pace, to avoid over-complicating such a demanding, but surely rewarding, language.
In shaping a lesson, I believe that the first step is to analyse the student's current status: his/her learning needs/goals, the topics that require special attention due to their level of difficulty from the point of view of the student, and what kinds of teaching and studying methods is the student used to. I think that this last point is important in evaluating how to approach the student's needs in a way that it's clearly understandable to him/her and that can give him/her solid improvements.
