Hi, everyone!
My name is Simona. I'm German and currently I'm living in Verona (Italy) where I've done my Erasmus. I've studied International Cultural and Business Studies in Passau (Bavaria, Germany) and Foreign Languages and Literatures in Verona. After my Bachelor's Degree I decided to stay in Italy and I have been living in this wonderful city now for three years. In the last few years I've refined my Italian and English to a C1 level. Besides, I love reading, meet my friends, travelling and I'm very, very passionate about animals (I have a dog)! (=
Me as a Teacher
Fortunately, I've already had the pleasure to teach German and English to some people of different ages and different language levels here in Verona. Thanks to my linguistic studies in Germany and Italy I know how difficult it can be to learn a new language and this can help me to understand better your requests. My friends generally describe me as a very organised, hard-working and patient person and I would really love to help you learning my beautiful native language. Furthermore, one of the features I value a lot as a teacher, and that gives me a lot of satisfaction, is to see how my students get day by day more confident and to encourage/motivate them to go on.
My lessons & teaching style
Through practising exercises of vocabulary, reading, grammar and especially conversation training, we'll find out the best and most suitable way for you to learn; taking into consideration your wishes and depending on whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner. Of course, I know that every student might have different needs and different ways of approaching the learning of a language, that is why I am very adaptive and don't stick to one methodology. To conclude, from my own experience, the fastest way to learn a language is by speaking it, so I will give a lot of importance to orality.

Außergewöhnliche Lehrerin! Das Lernen mit ihr war eine absolute Freude. Trotz einer einjährigen Pause aufgrund meines Umzugs nach Deutschland blieb ihr Unterricht bei mir. Ihre persönliche Herangehensweise, kulturelle Einblicke und unermüdlicher Enthusiasmus machen jede Lektion spannend. Jetzt, da ich zurück bin, ist ihre Anleitung weiterhin unbezahlbar. Sehr zu empfehlen für eine wirklich bereichernde Erfahrung im Sprachenlernen.
Vielleich sie ist der Grund, warum ich deutsch liebe.
Danke!

Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass das Üben der deutschen Sprache so viel Spaß machen kann! Simona ist die beste Gesprächspartnerin und Lehrerin, die man haben kann. Sie ist sehr aufgeschlossen und interessiert sich wirklich für die Kulturen anderer Menschen und für alles, was sie während des Unterrichts besprechen. Sie wählt immer sehr interessante Artikel/Videos für uns aus, um sie zu diskutieren und den Wortschatz zu erweitern. Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass wir uns mit der Zeit besser kennengelernt haben und das Üben sich jetzt wie ein nettes, herzliches Gespräch mit einer Freundin anfühlt. Ich würde es auf jeden Fall empfehlen!

Simona’s the best! She brings to the table everything that you need to develop your language skills: enthusiasm, patience, flexibility, and of course, knowledge. I started my lessons with Simona in order to brush up on my standard German (Hochdeutsch) and also to improve my comprehension of the Bavarian dialect, of which she is a native speaker. She has really gone the extra mile to develop and customize her lessons for my particular needs. Plus, she’s a genuinely interesting person who’s fun to talk to– a trait that I find essential when trying to improve your fluency. I highly recommend her!
