Sorry this ad is so long, but I am looking for something very specific!
I am looking for a native speaker of Italian who would be willing to tutor me for 1 1/2 hours twice a month. I want to learn Italian simply because I love the language! I enjoy opera, and I do intend to travel to Italy from time to time. Learning foreign languages is my hobby! I already speak French and Spanish quite well, and I studied Latin in high school years ago. So, I feel well equipped to learn Italian without too much difficulty!
I consider myself to be an 'advanced beginner' in Italian.
I am looking for someone who would be very flexible and who would continue the approach I used with my previous (excellent) Italian tutor. Since I have a very good background in Romance languages already, I would like a tutor who will allow me to move as quickly as I can.
This is how my former tutor and I worked together. For every lesson, I would do independent study on my own, write a 'composazione ' and have him correct it. We would then talk together in Italian and he would explain in both Italian and English. This was a very effective approach. I did most of the work -- that is how I learn! The only thing he had to do was to be with me, talking and correcting me, patiently, for 1 1/2 hours. I didn't expect him to prepare anything at all! This worked very, very well. And, also, we both had fun!
I also need someone with whom I could work during the day. (In the evenings I need to be home with my family.) It could be in the evening, if the teacher would come to my home.
I am a lady in my fifties and am open to any intelligent, motivated, native speaker who knows his/her language well and will be patient. I am a quick study and I catch on fast! My last tutor was a 25-year-old Italian man who was taking university classes here. Our lessons worked extremely well, and the age difference was no problem at all - we both had FUN! He is moving out of the area now and that is why I am looking for a new teacher. So I am open to anyone, any age!
I am most interested to continue my studies in Italian. Please contact me if you are interested in taking on an assignment like this!
