Teaching Philosophy
As a native speaker of Italian and an enthusiastic professor, I have always felt it essential to make the lessons as varied and as stimulating as possible for the students. My past teaching experiences, that is the blending of the traditional syllabi at Oxford and the more innovative method of technology-based learning in the USA, offered me the opportunity of engaging with not only differing approaches to teaching but also different student attitudes. My experience has also taught me how to be flexible in various classroom situations and has prepared me well for the interdisciplinary approaches required in today’s teaching.
