  • Description

    Hello! I am really passionate about teaching and working with others. I feel as though language acquisition is extremely important in our globalized world and I love being able to spark that sense of curiosity and excitement in others. Working with both adults and children of all ages is such a joy to me personally and I am so happy to be able to bring people together through language and communication skills.

  • More details about your skills

    In 2019, I graduated from the University of Buffalo as an Italian major with minors in education, sociology, and studio art. I spent the next fall teaching English abroad in Mantova to elementary school students, which I found to be such an amazing, transformative opportunity. I have quite a bit of experience teaching both English and Italian in classroom settings and well as at summer camps and one-on-one/small group tutoring. I find that one of the most effective ways of language acquisition is through experiential learning, so I like to incorporate music and play into my lessons. Here in buffalo, I have participated in musicals throughout my high school years and have been a member of multiple a cappella groups. My teaching style is based on creating a fun, comfortable environment for my students where they can feel free to ask questions and let their curiosity flow.
