Eclecticism - I like a plethora of things, from science to math, literature, hiking, etc. Perseverance - I never back down and encourage others to never do too Empathy - I try and connect emotionally with others 1. Practical words and expressions. The point of learning Italian is to one day use, right? 2. Idioms we actually use in real life, not ones that you only read in books 3. Grammar, but fun and entertaining I have 3 years of experience tutoring college students in different disciplines. I have also mentored high school students. I like to learn by conversation and engaging in different activity, especially technology based. Watching videos can be fun if done correctly and not placed at the center of the lesson. I would ask that people cancel a class at least 12 hours in advance.
