Besides Italian language and culture, she lectures students in grades 6 to 12 on Social Sciences.

MISSION:

 

Learning should not be too expensive. I firmly believe that every child and individual has the right to learn. I have initiated this experience to offer anyone the opportunity to learn Italian at a low cost. What matters is being willing to learn.

Mistakes are a good thing! It is part of the learning process to achieve a higher level of understanding.

My goal is to teach my native language with joy, fun, and enthusiasm.

The most outstanding achievement would be to inspire young souls with a love for the Italian language.
