What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that values language education and cultural exchange.

With a rich background in language education and a passion for teaching, I have dedicated my career to fostering multilingual skills in students of all ages. Currently, I operate as a freelancer, providing online tutoring in Italian, Spanish, and English, alongside proofreading and content creation services. My collaboration with Lingua House in Poland has further expanded my reach and expertise in language instruction.

Previously, I served as a Spanish teacher at Malmö International School in Sweden, where I taught students aged 11 to 16 in an International Baccalaureate program. My role as a mentor and community project supervisor allowed me to engage deeply with students, helping them navigate their educational journeys. My diverse experiences also include teaching Italian as a second language and guiding city tours in multiple languages, showcasing my ability to adapt and thrive in various educational and cultural environments.
