The goal of this club is to help students get excited and feel confident in speaking some Italian through learning some key grammar, vocabulary, verb skills, conversation skills, and over all comprehension in order to get them interested in foreign languages for college or feeling more confident in upper Italian for those learning the language for fun, traveling to Italy, living in Italy, or understanding Italian relatives better.

I believe that taking foreign language classes opens the doors to many opportunities. In high school, I took Spanish, and at university, I learned up to the Intermediate level in Italian. I now give students the opportunity to learn the Italian language by making it fun and engaging through my teaching style, print-offs, and Quizlets games. I have been teaching beginner through intermediate Italian courses since 2019 involving basic conversation skills, grammar (present indicative, passato prossimo, conjugating verbs with pronouns, adjectives reflecting the correct the-- as there are 7 the's in Italian, and more), as well as vocabulary, comprehension via shows such as Bluey, fairytale reading, and even songs such Ed Sheeran's "Perfect Symphony" classes to make the language to come to life in a fun way. I've taught over 1,000 students through private lessons, group sessions, and charter schools with over 400 positive reviews.
