"I'm native Italian, I was born and raised in Turin, Italy. I've been in NYC since 2000 and I've been teaching Italian for the last 21 years. I teach at all levels, from very beginner to advanced. I listen to my students and their needs, and I try to fulfill them to the best of my abilities. I have a structure I follow but I adapt it to meet the needs and learning abilities of my students. We all learn differently and I always try to find the best way to make my lessons effective and useful for my students. I cover all aspects of the language, conversation, comprehension, grammar, writing, reading and pronunciation. I encourage my students to speak in Italian as much as possible to overcome their fear of conversing. I engage them and help them feel comfortable, and develop acceptance of their learning process and mistakes along the way.

I teach lessons one on one, in small or large groups, and at the corporate level. I teach also crash courses if you just need to learn some phrases for your fast approaching trip to Italy. I have tutored at City College, I have taught in the foreign languages program at the YMCA, and at Italian language schools like Collina Italiana, Learn Italy, ABC and JP Linguistics. I teach in Manhattan and in Brooklyn. I'm based in Brooklyn." less...
