About Francesca
I have loved words since I can remember, because I believe that communicating what we think and how we feel precisely means having the freedom to express who we are. Words are magic for what they can create and how they can shape the world.
This is the reason why I studied four modern languages at high school, and then I decided to deepen the knowledge of my mother tongue, Italian, graduating in Humanities.
There is so much beauty in what I learnt (and keep on learning) that I want to share it with other people, because it seems to me the chance to give something good to the world.

I believe that knowledge and creativity can change the world.
That's why I do my best to make students feel at ease, because a positive environment improves and deepens our learning and makes us grow and be more curious towards the inner and outer world.
QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE
. 3+ years as Italian teacher at middle school
. 10+ years as Tutor for students of all ages
. Master's degree in Italian studies (with honors)
. Course on Intercultural education and teaching Italian to foreigners
. Course on Teaching methodology for students with special needs
TEACHING METHODOLOGY
I adapt my way of teaching to the single student. Every student is different, and so must be the way I teach.
I give priority the the living language: that's why grammar rules are not enough if we do not practice both written and spoken language by listening, talking, reading and writing - All this is always adapted to the student's level. Moreover, reflecting on the way we build words, and on the origin of them, is also fundamental to enrich our vocabulary
TYPICAL LENGTH OF A LESSON
1 hour (but it can be modified according to one's needs)
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Francesca, before becoming teacher, was actually my student, so I had the chance to meet and get to know her when she was very young (she was 17 or 18) and even then she was dutiful and creative.
Now these qualities have become even more clear: as a teacher she manages to be resourceful and ingenious, as I could ensure myself when she did an intership at the school I teach in. She has a good general knowledge and is very professional and trustworthy, but she can also estabilish good relationships with her students easily: as a matter of fact she has great empathy, as she proved even coping succesfully with thorny issues.
To sum up, I think Francesca is a brilliant teacher because she is able to create a peaceful environment, always bringing something original to the lesson.
What more can I say? I would fully entrust her with my own students!

She'll be able to make you passionate about italian language through an effective and inspiring teaching method.
I have no hesitation in recommending Francesca to anyone who wants to learn or improve their skills in italian language: she's the best!Francesca was my teacher in the middle school and she taught me Italian, History and Geography. She is very helpful, experienced and professional. She really helped me learn Italian grammar. I would highly racommend her because she will make you love the Italian language.
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Francesca for a teaching position. I have had the pleasure of working with her for the past three years and I have seen that she is exceptionally talented and very friendly in nature.
Francesca is a driven, reliable and organized teacher who is able to develop inspiring relationships with her students.
She is a dedicated educator with a positive attitude and a wide variety of skills and interests such as yoga, writing and literature.
Hi everyone! I am an ex student of the teacher Francesca Pirola and I would like to talk a little about my wonderful experience with her.
She accompanied me during my middle school experience, and I can say that she gave me so much.
She is a genuine person, qualified and she has an excellent culture.
I learnt a lot of facts and anecdotes that were not in the school program thanks to her stories and her experience.
In class we talked a lot about current affairs and daily life and she cared a lot her student’s opinions. She has great sensitivity and tact!
She was demanding and sometimes strict, but thanks to her I learnt how to study and I grew up.
My favorite moments were literature classes, because she is as passionate as I am and I felt that.
I'm happy that someone else can have the same experience that I had with this teacher!See more recommendations
