ABOUT ME

I am a 33 years old Italian native speaker, witha full professional proficiency in English.
After growing up and completing my education in Italy, I have and lived in and worked in Turkey (Izmir) and United Kingdom (Brighton) as a translator and language teacher. As a language teacher (Italian and English), I have tutored hundreds of students, both as a freelancer and working in collaboration with several schools and language institutes.
One of my main working experience was as the language education coordinator at the Italian Cultural Centre in Izmir, Turkey ( ). Due to my role, I have been responsible for planning and facilitating Italian lessons for
individual students and group classes, both offline and online, for students of all ages (mainly
adults). This experience also gave me a deep knowledge of best practices, materials and industry standards in the field of Italian language education
