I am an experienced tutor and would like to transmit my love of languages and literature to my students. I have lived in four different countries (Italy, England, Germany and the US)and speak five languages (English, Italian, German, French, and Spanish). In 2001, I completed a PhD in German literature and published some of my articles in academic journals. During my PhD years, I gathered a lot of experience as a tutor. I taught Italian, German and English at various levels and in different institutions, including some high schools, language schools and the department of Modern Languages at the University of Bath. I believe that studying foreign literature and languages opens minds and broaden horizons. A deeper understanding and consequent appreciation of other cultures is, in my opinion, the only way in which we can create a world based on the respect for human dignity.
