Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a native Italian speaker with a passion for teaching. I was born and raised in Italy and later moved to the United States, where I had to learn English from scratch. This personal experience gives me a unique perspective on language acquisition.
I have a diverse teaching background, including experience in public schools, college-level instruction, and private tutoring. My journey of mastering English as a second language equips me to guide you effectively on your Italian language adventure. I look forward to sharing my expertise and fostering language skills and cultural appreciation.
