As a native English and Italian speaker and professionally certified teacher, I don’t just teach my students the basics. By using scientifically proven methods of language learning and ways I have seen work time and time again, this class will teach my students how to build upon their foundations, create complex, fluid sentences, and how to become comfortable with the language.

I tailor my lessons specifically to the needs of each student – be it exams, business English, Italian culture, or for everyday spoken English and Italian. I provide students homework and resources through professional language textbooks, the internet, and books in order to help them achieve their language goals.

I am an Ivy League educated tutor ready to help you achieve higher exam scores, gain admission to top universities and advance your career.

I encourage students to explore topics they enjoy and strive to make each lesson entertaining. Learning should be fun, so my approach expands students' horizons, increasing their creativity so they realize their potential.

I provide personalized English classes at home. I am an English teacher with more than eleven years of experience teaching English to young people and adults at all levels (basic, intermediate, advanced)
