About Marina
I am Marina, born and grown up in Italy, I love helping people to learn.
I am a DITALS II certified Italian for foreigners teacher as well as a certified CELI (Italian state approved certification of Italian language competence) examiner.
My field work includes always pleasing experiences with people very diverse for nationality and needs. My students range from kids during school based projects, to refugees and adult immigrants as well as people with professional communication needs including foreigner Cannes prizes winner actors and university professors.
I have designed educational activities and projects for starting immigrants' employment. I have also worked in a publishing company and made some journalism experiences.
I am graduated First Class Honours in Philosophy after classical studies. For my thesis research, I analysed Italian language in children speech. I carry on my Philosophy of Language scientific research.

Focus on the learner: it is YOUR lesson, not mine.
I help people to acquire a learning methodology for self improvement lasting after the lesson.
Needs assessment and goals setting agreement.
Communicative language teaching (CLT): the focus of the teaching is on the completion of a task which in itself is interesting to the learners.
I make my best efforts to prepare my students' communication in Italian for coping with their job, study or life problems.
Keeping focused on pleasant and interesting activities the student even could forget to be in class time. But it is me who never forget our purpose even if fully involved in our educational activity. At the right time I call attention to all the language perspectives, grammatical too, in accord with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Here is a few of individually "tailor made" teaching examples:
- for the child and the youth I design educational games suited to the age, trying to encourage their confidence to be as able in the Italian school as they used to be in their country of origin; I also submit projects to the schools, providing for the involvement of pupils of any origin pointing out that all of them have similar skills;
- I have designed plans for cultural tourism including the study of Italian language devoted to peculiar activities on topics matching personal interests as cooking and art history;
- I have helped post graduate students in high level specialization studies editing their scientific papers and supporting with full explanation of all corrections I have proposed;
- the one who almost abashed me was Maria Dinulescu Hollywood actress Cannes prizes winner from Romania, where she is one of the most popular cinema and TV star. Maria broadcast live to her fans the treasure hunt in the centre of Rome I had designed as learning activity more suitable than desk duties for her outgoing personality. I was introduced to her audience as the number one teacher who brought her in the funniest lesson.
For everybody I manage to overcome uneasiness beginning from interests and strengths in order to feel confident when dealing with weaknesses.
Recommendations

Marina dedica al proprio lavoro quell'attenzione basata su competenze scientifiche e professionali che mi appare sempre più rara in tutti i contesti. Inoltre sa mettere a proprio agio gli allievi e motivarli.
Tra le altre cose ho condiviso con Marina lo studio della "Glottodidattica", cioè come insegnare una lingua. Abbiamo ideato e realizzato per volontariato alcuni progetti nelle scuole con bambini e ragazzi immigrati.Ho conosciuto alcuni suoi allievi, come l'attrice di fama internazionale che si preparava per un film con Tony Servillo e i professori di filosofia del diritto. Uno rappresentava per incarico diplomatico la Spagna nell'attuazione del quadro comune di riferimento europeo per lo studio delle lingue (in pratica decidere ufficialmente come debba essere l'insegnamento delle lingue straniere).
Persone diversissime, tutte entusiaste dei risultati ottenuti grazie a Marina.
