University of Florence, Italy - Bachelors, Social Work
Experience
I graduated from the University of Florence with a bachelor's in social work 13 years ago. I promptly began teaching special education. I tutor students in Italian, which I am a native speaker of. I work with them to impart an understanding of the language, culture, and history. I can help students as they learn conversational Spanish and Italian, as well as the introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses. Not only have I taught these, along with English, in India, I also worked in Thailand offering scuba diving classes in the three languages. I spent a period working as an interpreter and translator for legal firms, corporations, and conferences. I improved my Spanish fluency while traveling through Latin America and Mexico. Currently, I live in Pittsburgh and intend to continue teaching students here. My teaching style as a language instructor combines immersion with personalized lesson plans. Working with students allows me to keep my language skills fresh while offering the unique pleasure of seeing others succeed in learning. I strive to make lessons fun while factoring in the student's personal goals. Outside of teaching, I am deeply passionate about travel, prompting me to regularly research other cultures. I also enjoy listening to music.
