Teaching has always been my passion, even as a child. In kindergarten, they called me "the little teacher" because I loved showing my classmates how to play or do things well. As I grew up, my love for Italian culture deepened, thanks to the stories and traditions passed down to me by my grandparents, parents, and schoolteachers.

When I teach, I’m especially moved by explaining the origins of words and expressions that we often take for granted. The beauty, depth, and sounds of the Italian language are a constant source of wonder for me and reflect my naturally talkative personality.

In my teaching approach, I strive to create an informal bridge with my students, fostering a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. This allows me to focus on speaking activities and help them feel at ease. I deeply understand what they are going through emotionally and cognitively because I experienced the same challenges when I learned English. This personal journey helps me empathize and develop techniques, activities, and resources that effectively tackle the difficulties of learning a new language from the very start.

Beyond my passion for the Italian language, I love movies, dancing, and creative hobbies that feel almost meditative, like making jewelry or greeting cards. I am also a food enthusiast and thoroughly enjoy preparing delicious meals for friends, family, and sometimes even my students, sharing the joy and conviviality of Italian culture.
