About Me

Originally from the south of Italy, I’ve been a wandering soul for the last five years, traveling through Europe and the U.S. to finally settle in Brooklyn. The biggest treasure I got out of these experiences was to learn and be exposed to different cultures and languages. I was fascinated by languages for the freedom they give me traveling to other countries and for allowing me to appreciate the essence of the place by living it in its native language.
Three years ago, while in Geneva, I got involved in tandem language learning where I was exchanging my language skills with native speakers from different places to improve my vocabulary and confidence with foreign languages in a relaxed and friendly way. Since then I started to offer private Italian and French lessons to individuals to recreate the same relaxed and friendly environment stimulating the interest and the attention of the students.
