I have been teaching ESL/EFL since 2002. Much of my teaching experience took place at corporations for their employees of all levels (dependents to CEO), such as Celine, Trenitalia, Carapelli, aei progetti, Arval, Le Poste Italiane, Deutche Bank and Nikon to mention a few. I have also taught in higher academic settings. In addition to my work at Myngle, I teach at the University of California Los Angeles, where I am an instructor for their online academic writing courses, as well as for the Business for Professional series. In the past, I worked in L.A. at the Academic Intensive English Program preparing international students for American university. I am specialized in academic and professional writing. I am also very interested in content-language teaching and believe that customizing a language course for the learner based on his/her interest is the best way to learn a language. I am also very involved in curriculum development and create many of my own materials. I employ the communicative approach to language learning and create a positive and effective classroom.
