Ciao! I come from Cortona, Toscana, one of the most beautiful regions of Italy. I inherited my love for languages from my mother, a native from France , who also gave me a natural disposition and openness for other cultures.

I obtained my degree in Education Science (formerly Pedagogy) with a specialization in languages. Upon my arrival in the U.S., I immediately started putting into practice my academic background and experience in teaching. At present I teache Italian and Spanish in several schools in the Bay area and my students comprise a wide age range, from children to adults.

My lectures are usually very personalized and, besides language, convey many aspects of Italian culture as well as specific needs that my students request; I also help them to organize and plan their vacation in Italy!
