Matteo Ricci
@matteoricci
Bilingual English teacher and educational coordinator who delivers clear learning, writing, and translation quality.
What I'm looking for
I’m a fully bilingual English professional with a C2 Advanced Certificate in English (Cambridge Assessment English) and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza. I bring a meticulous, science-informed approach to language, having worked as a freelance English-language editor for scientific manuscripts and technical reports—editing for grammar, structure, clarity, readability, and APA/journal formatting.
Alongside editing and translation, I focus on helping people learn and communicate confidently. I’ve taught and coordinated English programs in multiple settings, planning and managing schedules across time zones, coordinating lesson timing and Zoom slots, and delivering one-on-one conversations to strengthen grammar and speaking skills; as a content writer/editor, I also improved readability, impact, and SEO while overseeing editorial processes.
