About Me

Ciao amici! Valeria here!

👴🏻👵🏻 My Sicilian grandparents immigrated to the United States and eventually returned to their homeland in Sicily. I was born and raised in Sicilia, immersed in Sicilian values and culture.

👩🏻‍🎓I studied in Palermo and afterward I spent a semester in Spain and three months in Manchester eventually moving to Bologna where I completed my Master's degree in Language and Linguistics and I have made Bologna my home.

❤️I love tasting food, and natural landscapes, chilling out with friends on Sundays while cooking hand-made pasta for a 3 PM lunch, eating taralli and olives while drinking a glass of wine after a day of work, organizing parties with friends and preparing the buffet and the cake.

My name is Chiara, I'm a native Italian speaker, and I work as a freelance translator and interpreter. I have a Master's Degree in Specialised Translation.

I have been teaching Italian, French, Spanish, and English for over eight years to both adults and children.

In 2016/17, I worked as an Italian and Spanish teacher for adults at an Agency of the European Union while I was living in Strasbourg, France. In 2021, I expanded my experience and began working as an English teacher for primary school children of all ages at Educraft Language School in Bologna.

I fluently speak all four languages, and I use them in my everyday life since my clients come from all over Europe.

Of all the work experiences I have had, teaching children is definitely the one that satisfied me the most. I enjoy teaching bilingual children and helping them overcome the challenges that come with having a bilingual brain.
As a freelancer, I am very flexible in terms of working hours and can adapt to the student's needs and requests.

I look forward to hearing from you!

English language communication skill in both four modes: reading, writing, speaking, and listening is very important now more than ever. These skills are highly beneficial in school and/or work place.

You'll learn how to use correct grammer, vocabularies, pronounciation and many more through practice. I like my classes to be fun and as practical as possible so that you are able to apply what you learn from day one and improve. My language learning motto is "analyse, understand, apply, repeat"
