With over seven years of experience, I’ve taught Italian and German in a variety of educational settings and to a wide range of learners. At IRSEF (Foggia), I supported students with learning challenges, while at San Domenico University I lectured in translation and marketing, preparing future professionals. I’ve worked with language schools like Daunia Academy, helping foreign students prepare for certification exams. I'm a certified examiner for both PLIDA and the Goethe-Institut, guiding learners toward official qualifications. I also teach private courses tailored to professionals’ needs and have experience working with children, making lessons both engaging and effective for younger learners. This broad experience allows me to adapt my teaching style to suit each student's goals and learning preferences.

Outside of language teaching, I work as a university lecturer, professional translator, and interpreter. This background allows me to bring real-world language use into lessons—perfect for students needing formal communication skills, specialized vocabulary, or insight into academic and professional contexts. My passion for the arts, nature, and traveling helps me connect with students on a personal level and create engaging lessons that reflect their interests. Whether you're learning for work, study, or travel, I aim to make each lesson meaningful, relevant, and inspiring.
