Background info: 

I started off my working life in the sales department of a well know company in my hometown where I was working a regular 8 hours day job. After many years of hard work as an employee I realized that I wanted to do something that could help others and truly make me feel happy and fulfilled... so I turned my passion for languages into a teaching and coaching job.

Can I do it?

I consider myself lucky since I grew up bilingual and I have lived in enriching places like Geneva (Switzerland) and Arizona (USA)... yes... that's where my US accent comes from! 

I personally know how hard it is to learn a new language... it's definitely something that you DO NOT do overnight or over a couple of months! I myself was in that same position learning English and French as a young student and Spanish for fun as an adult later on in life.

I'm now based in Northern Italy where I teach Italian to foreigners and English to Italians. I have gained experience through training and thanks to the diverse students that have crossed my path.

But hey... I do also have a degree in Languages and Foreign Literature from Università Cattolica di Milano, a prestigious Italian University in Milan, Italy!

Who do I reach out to?

For the past 8 years I have been teaching to a beautiful variety of students and I can't wait to meet many more!

• ex-pats that now live in Italy
• men and women who have finally met their true love in Italy and want to speak a perfect Italian
• opera singers who want to work on pronunciation
• foreign pilots who need to enhance their Italian communication skills
• online students who live far away from me but simply love Italian culture and language
• enthusiastic travelers who want to visit Italy with that extra language knowledge
• second or third generation Italians who want to speak Italian with relatives that still live in Italy or simply want to get in touch with their cultural heritage

Why do I want to teach you?

Easy... life is too short and beautiful to keep for ourselves our talents and notions. I want to share my knowledge with you and have you live and explore the world with one extra language in your pocket!

You never know where life can take you... but you can be prepared for whatever you hope will come!
