I hold a Bachelor’s degree in French from George Mason University with a minor in Italian, and I studied abroad in Bologna, Italy (2018 & 2019) for immersive language learning. I also grew up in a French-speaking household and spent extended time in France and Benin, which gave me native-level fluency and a strong cultural foundation.
My teaching experience includes working as an Italian Teaching Assistant at Casa Italiana (2023–present), where I support classroom instruction for children ages 5–7 through interactive activities, vocabulary practice, and conversational games. I also worked as an independent tutor and translator (2021–2023), providing one-on-one French and Italian lessons for adults tailored to grammar, conversation, and professional needs. Additionally, I have mentored students as a youth soccer coach (ages 8–college level) and trained junior engineers in my IT career, gaining experience in adapting lessons for different age groups and learning styles.
I take a student-centered and adaptable approach, using engaging activities for younger learners and practical, goal-focused lessons for teens and adults. My experience across both academic and professional settings has given me over five years of cumulative teaching and tutoring, with the ability to make learning clear, interactive, and rewarding for all ages.
