About
I love teaching! I have a deep knowledge of the language being a native speaker, and I studied and taught Latin and Ancient Greek so I know the origins of the grammar rules and the etimology of the words
I graduated with top marks "cum laude" at Liceo Classico Galileo Galilei, an important grammar school in Florence. I worked as a Latin, Italian and ancient Greek tutor for Laudes Association in Rome, and here in Boston both as an Italian tutor for the Department of Liberal Arts of New England Conservatory and as a Math tutor for Codman Academy.
I worked both with kids and adults, both in Italy and America
Teaching is one of the most fulfilling jobs: seeing your student improving and learning more and more just makes you feel better! Moreover you can learn so many things from your students!
Teaching Italian then it's a way to spread my culture and my language, which I find fascinating!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Getting to know them, start with fun things and some fun stuff about Italian culture. Then I can check from which point we have to start, by verifying their starting knowledge of the language. At first it's better to do simple things or things that are similar to English, grammarly speaking. At the end I like to give a little assignment just to keep the expectations high!
