Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Lucia, and I am an Italian and English language teacher. Born in Italy, I moved to the US as a child and made it my home. I am a native Italian speaker fluent in English, which I learned as a second language. Drawing from my own bilingual journey, I'm eager to share the effective tools and tips that helped me master English.
For the past 15 years, I have refined my teaching methodology through a variety of class settings and educational environments. My expertise includes a diverse range of tailored courses: language and cultural immersion for children aged 6-12; interactive sessions that combine Italian language lessons with cultural and culinary experiences for all ages; conversational Italian classes tailored to individual needs; academic lectures at Lake Michigan College; and foundational Italian at Lincoln Elementary School.
Additionally, I have taught English to my children and now extend this legacy to the new generation of my family, providing online lessons to my grandchildren and nephews in Italy.
I look forward to helping you embark on your language-learning journey. Ciao, a presto!
