Hi there! I'm a professional Italian teacher with almost 15 years experience teaching the language. A bit about me:

- I'm half Italian and half Dominican (thus Hispanic surname ;) - but was born in New York City and raised between there and Italy! And to be precise, I'm from the city of Genova, in the Riviera.
- I'm a native English and Italian speaker - but I also speak 7 languages (5 fluently)
- I have a Triple B.A in Italian, French and International Affairs from the University of South Florida. I pursued my Masters at SOAS University of London.
- I have worked professionally in international affairs for 12 years.
- I am very passionate about my language and country, working as Board of Directors in a famous organisation in Italy and also writing cultural and travel pieces for numerous magazines on Italy.

As someone who has learned many languages, I understand the frustration and the complications that come with learning another language. My approach aims to empower you with the following method:

- Focus on your needs for learning the language and building from there.
- Building your confidence in speaking and communicating
- Empowering you with knowledge about the culture in order to not only communicate but relate to Italians
- Provide numerous resources to help you attain the level of Italian you are looking for.

The Italian language is one of my greatest prides! I would love to share that passion with you to help you with your own goals.
