Italian Lessons in Bristol

Ciao! I'm Cleo, an experienced Italian tutor with over two decades of expertise in language education and digital curriculum development. My journey began at Universities here in the UK, where I worked as the Italian Language Coordinator and Digital Curriculum Developer. Over the years, I've designed and developed innovative online learning materials and assessments for Italian courses, utilising cutting-edge technology to create interactive content that supports blended learning and enhances student engagement.

Tutoring Experience

With a strong background in both traditional and digital education, I have successfully managed the full lifecycle of course development, including curriculum design, course content creation, and assessment strategies.

In addition to my work at the university, I have nearly two decades of experience teaching Italian for GCSE and A Levels. I have also served as an A Level examiner for the EDEXCEL board, providing me with a deep understanding of the examination process and the skills students need to succeed.

Tutoring Approach

I believe that language learning should be an engaging and immersive experience. My approach combines traditional teaching methods with innovative digital tools to create a dynamic and interactive learning environment. I focus on personalized learning, tailoring my lessons to meet the unique needs and goals of each student. By incorporating a variety of multimedia resources, interactive exercises, and real-life scenarios, I aim to make learning Italian both enjoyable and effective.

My teaching approach is friendly, outgoing, and focused on creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that encourages relaxation and facilitates learning. I believe a comfortable environment is key to helping students feel confident and engaged. In my lessons, I primarily speak Italian, simplifying the language at lower levels (when needed) to ensure clarity and understanding. I keep students motivated through a variety of activities, including role-plays, listening exercises, games, and songs, making learning both fun and effective. I also take the time to understand each student's reasons for learning Italian, allowing me to tailor my lessons to their specific needs and help them achieve their goals.
