What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values inclusive education and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As an experienced Italian teacher, I have been passionately teaching Italian as a second language to diverse groups of students from various backgrounds. My journey began with a postgraduate degree in Language Education from the University of Venice, where I focused on inclusive and accessible language education. Since May 2021, I have been teaching Italian online through platforms like live XP and Goﬂuent, creating tailored lessons that cater to the unique needs of my students.

My teaching experience extends to working with adult learners in Brazil and children in Italy, where I have successfully facilitated language acquisition and social integration. I pride myself on my ability to adapt my teaching methods to suit different learning styles and objectives, ensuring that my students achieve their linguistic goals. I am committed to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment that encourages students to thrive.
