Tutor Bio

I am a native Italian, born in Castel San Giovanni, a small town outside of Milan. My studies concentrated on foreign languages with an emphasis in English. Studying in England and working abroad around the world allowed me to use both the English and French languages extensively.

I have been teaching Italian for over 13 years (I have been working with Strommen since 2009). I have recently published my first Italian novel 'Non ho chiesto l'America.'

I teach teenagers, adults, (beginners, intermediate, advanced), public figures, actors, singers, producers, celebrities and whoever wants to get ready before a trip to Italy.


I teach Italian you can use, at the speed and learning style that suits you best. I incorporate your goals and timeline into the lesson planning, ensuring you get the language skills you need when you need them.
You'll learn the standard current Italian, the correct pronunciation and grammar guiding you through the conversation.
