Inspiring student curiosity
As a teacher, I always want try to meet students expectations by creating a learning environment where students want to learn and gain confidence. I do this by building the teacher-student relationship. For this to happen, a teacher needs to know what students are expecting from him.
When Italian is not just a passion, but also your profession, linguistic preparation is no longer enough and you want to achieve excellence in your job: perfecting teaching techniques, examining in depth the different ways of learning languages and keeping continuously up to date with developments in the teaching of Italian as a foreign or second language.
Check improvement of the student at regular intervals. Focus on the student's capabilities to derive the best learning outcome. Help the student achieve their targets by assisting them to stay focused on their learning. Help the student to learn effectively irrespective of their age.
