"My name is Claudia and I am a certified Instructor of Italian as a Second/Foreign Language and a Cultural Facilitator from Italy. I am also a CELTA certified Instructor (Cambridge Assessment English) and I teach English as a Second Language to adult learners of any level of proficiency (A0-C2 CEFR).

I have been tutoring both in person and online for almost 10 years since I graduated from the University of Padua, Italy, in 2012. I hold a Master’s degree in Philosophy (History of Philosophy and Ethics), and a Master’s degree and credential in Teaching of Italian to foreign learners on top of a Certificate of Proficiency English C2 (Cambridge Assessment English) and a CELTA certificate for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.

My work experience ranges from Higher Education, - I taught at The University of Padua Linguistic Center CLA to international exchange students - Adult Education - I taught for the School Services Sector of Padua - and in various Middle and Elementary public schools of the Veneto region. I am also an ESL freelance Instructor and I teach English to Speakers of Other Languages online.

As a freelance instructor, I developed my own syllabus, grammar and teaching materials and I refined my passion for e-learning, online platforms, tools and technologies that enable me to deliver a flexible and tailored learning experience to all of my students.

Being truly keen on languages and literature, I studied Latin, Greek, German, and Spanish; I also collect hundreds of books, read extensively, and travel as much as I can. I have many other passions, such as music - I play electric guitar and hold a degree in Blues Rock - and I love cooking - I am a certified "Pizzaiola".

So, if you need any help at any level of proficiency both in Italian and English, or you need to pass a specific test and obtain a certification, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be glad to tutor you and help you succeed." less...
