My background in music and the healing arts, and my deep interest in psychology have all contributed to my success in teaching. My aim is to make genuine, and sincere connections with people, share ideas, exchange information, and give accurate feedback and support tailored to students' needs, while helping them build their language skills on a solid foundation. Some of my hobbies are: astrology, gardening, reading, travelling, and massage therapy. I live in Italy, and am always happy to talk about Italian life and culture.

I completed 4 years of college education as a liberal arts/music major, and I obtained a CELTA certification in 1998

I have been teaching English as a foreign language for over 15 years. I have taught everything from exam prep courses, to business English, and my students have ranged from age 9 to 74. I have taught in multinational companies, small businesses, private language schools and public schools. I have used a variety of teaching materials, including materials of my own creation. I have a lot of experience tailoring courses to students' needs, whether that be speaking fluency, pronunciation, grammar, writing, listening comprehension, or vocabulary and English usage work. I give regular and consistent feedback and correction.
