Description
Hello! My name is Larissa but my friends call me Lari! I am an Italian American travelling around this summer while I wait for my Italian passport to be finalised. I speak English fluently and am TEFL certified to teach it and currently teach online for my language school in Naples as well as Padua. I love spending time with animals and Children. The best way to learn a language is through children in my opinion! I speak Italian at a mid to high level. I make mistakes so please be patient with me. My French has worsened over the years but if you speak slowly I can understand and I can respond. I would love to spend time in an environment where I can practice my language skills and also enjoy the summer sun. I hope to hear from you all soon!

Larissa was an angel for us. She is a flexible person with many practicle skills. She helped me with both my children (a toddler and a baby) even when I was sick and my partner was away for many days. She helped me keep the house clean and tidy (her favourite was to tidy up the fridge and freezer!), she often wanted to cook for everybody, she… read more

I can not tell you how nice it was to stay with Maria Teresa and Emmanuele. They are two wonderful parents and they really made me part of their family for 5 weeks. The children are adorable. I was able to experience some of the joys of having children especially such young children.

I was able to work on my Tefl certificate in my free time and when the zones were yellow I could go out and explore. It was rough with covid but this past year has been rough everywhere! It was nice to have "family" close by when I needed… read more
