About the lesson

The first step to learn a new language is to understand how the language works. - For beginners, I definitely stat from the logic of the Spanish language: basic grammar, communicative functions and Spanish civilization. - For intermediate levels, I work on the use of the acquired competences, adding more vocabulary and including more aspects of the Spanish culture and habits; - For advanced students, I work on their fluency and the use of multiple language registers (formal/informal/slang). I fluently speak English, French and Italian, and I have also studied Portuguese and Russian. Knowing foreign languages is definitely a strategic competence, as this helps me work on improving my students' pronunciation of the Italian words. As I teach kids, teenagers and adults, my lessons include not only activities to learn how to communicate in Spanish, but also focus on particular aspects of the Spanish culture (habits, traditions, evolution of the language, dialects, trendy topics, society, etc...), through multiple supports: videos, stories, role-play situations, news, podcasts, paintings, virtual tours and other digital tools.

Perfect! I have learned so much in my classes with Illaria. She paces the class just right so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. So many other classes you just read from a text book but illaria asks questions and gets you to respond which is both fun and promotes faster learning. She is patient and eager to help. I’m thrilled to have found her.

I highly recommend Ilaria Ceriello as an italian teacher. I just completed the fourth level with her and it was one of the greatest learning experience I had in my life. Ms Ceriello is dynamic, lively, passionate and has enabled me to progress significantly. One of her strengths is to be able teach us elements of the italian culture with intelligence and humor all throughout the course. She's a real Superprof! :)

I took a beginner Italian course with Ilaria in the spring of 2021. In just eight weeks, my fellow students and I made incredibly progress in Italian thanks to Ilaria's instruction. While we all started as complete (or near-complete) beginners, by the final class, we were able to hold basic conversations and had developed a solid grasp of aural and written Italian. Ilaria is a patient, enthusiastic and caring teacher who is very receptive to feedback and able to tailor her classes to her students' level. She is skilled at motivating students to participate in class and mixes linguistic teachings with valuable insight into Italian culture. Her passion for the language is contagious and I highly recommend her as an instructor.
