E-commerce Sales Associate (ADHR GROUP)
Completed extensive modules on customer understanding, negotiation models (A.I.D.A.), CRM, and order fulfillment processes.

I've been working as a Private Language Tutor since October 13, 2020, offering over four years of experience on platforms.
My teaching methodology is a student-centered, goal-oriented framework refined over four years as a dedicated private online tutor. I specialize in guiding learners of Italian and Romanian to fluency, academic excellence, and professional proficiency. My approach is built on three core pillars:
1. Personalized & Adaptive Learning: I reject a one-size-fits-all model. Each lesson is tailored to the student's unique goals, learning style, and pace. Through initial assessments and ongoing feedback, I design custom learning paths that target specific objectives—whether for conversational fluency, exam preparation (e.g., CILS, CELI), or career-specific language skills.
2. Goal-Oriented & Structured Progression: My lessons are driven by clear, measurable outcomes. We establish specific targets from the outset, and each session is structured to build systematically towards them. This ensures that every lesson has a clear purpose, maximizing progress and keeping students motivated by their tangible achievements.
3. Communicative & Rigorous Academics: I blend the communicative approach, which prioritizes practical use and conversation, with academic rigor. While the focus is on using the language actively, I ensure a solid foundation in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation through explicit instruction and structured practice. This balance empowers students to communicate confidently and accurately in real-world contexts.
