I am a native Italian speaker from Sicily, now based in Chicago, and a certified teacher with more than 20 years of classroom experience. I hold full teaching qualifications in Italy and have taught Philosophy, History, and Italian Language and Literature to high school and college-level students. My professional background allows me to guide learners not only through the Italian language but also through the rich cultural, historical, and literary traditions of Italy.
Over two decades of teaching, I have worked with students of different ages and backgrounds, helping them develop both strong language skills and cultural awareness. My lessons combine structured grammar instruction with interactive conversation and critical thinking activities. I believe that learning a language is not only about vocabulary—it is about connecting ideas, culture, and communication.
As your tutor, I will design lessons tailored to your goals—whether you want to improve your conversation skills, prepare for academic exams, or explore Italian literature and philosophy. My approach is student-centered, engaging, and flexible, ensuring that you gain both confidence and fluency while enjoying the process of learning.
