Your Italian Language Coach

I was raised speaking only Italian, and now I speak 12 foreign languages, mostly at an advanced level, several of which I learned without going abroad, some in only a few months.

As a native Italian language teacher, I’ve done 2,000+ classes on Skype on multiple language teaching platforms. I’ve also taught to adults in language schools and universities.

I’ve also worked as an independent translator from Japanese, Korean and Chinese into Italian.

I’ve lectured in polyglot clubs about my method.

Now, I’m eager to share my secrets with you.
