Language learning is about the connection between cuore e testa, heart and mind. My goal is to make Italian come alive through lively, inclusive classes where you feel free to speak, make mistakes, and grow. My approach is rooted in fostering curiosity, building confidence, and making learning an active and immersive experience. Throughout my life, I’ve been lucky to be guided by amazing mentors—professionals who deeply informed how I teach, and I strive to pay that forward to anyone who relies on me for learning a new language. As someone with 10+ years of language-teaching experience and who learned 7 languages throughout her life, I am keenly aware of the challenges involved and how to tackle them while tailoring my approach to each student’s unique way of learning. Together, we will learn Italian through dynamic conversations, storytelling, and cultural exploration—whether we’re chatting about films, planning a trip, or everyday life. I look forward to helping you cultivate your Italian fluency—this is, your fluent era after all—and experience the joy of saying something new in another language. Ricorda: every class begins with a simple ciao—and opens the door to countless new worlds. I hope you’ll feel the same joy, confidence, and curiosity as we learn together.
