Hi everyone, Buongiorno! My name is Fabiana and I am very excited to be part of Aux Trois Pommes as Italian teacher and tutor. I grew up in in Italy where I graduated in Italian Language and Literature at the Universita’ di Lettere e Filosofia in Parma and at the same time I pursued Violin performance and music studies at the Conservatorio di Musica “Arrigo Boito”. Embracing these different but related academic disciplines had enriched me with an interdisciplinary approach and knowledge that I rely on as a teacher. My experience in teaching started during the High school and University years, working as private tutor and later as Elementary classroom teacher. Since I moved abroad to my family more than 15 years ago, I have focused my career on teaching Italian as a second language. I learnt English and Norwegian languages (achieving a IELTS exam and a NORINT certification from the University of Stavanger) to be able to work as Italian tutor and course instructor in the UK, in Norway and in the US, where I have been living since 2018.
My expertise as a foreign language instructor has expanded during the years, through the opportunity to teach in various countries and to interact with numerous students each of whom has unique requirements and expectations. I believe that key is listening to the students in order to identify and create a learning path that engages and addresses them appropriately, developing each student’s program based on their goals, level, and interests, with the help of a variety of resources and materials.
