Experience Summary
I have lived in Italy for 7 years and I speak Italian fluently. I grew up speaking the language. My parents were both Italian and because of this I was recently able to obtain Italian Citizenship (dual citizenship with United States) for myself and my three children.
I am an attorney with my own law practice in Lake Forest, CA. I have given many seminars and one on one "teaching" sessions with hundreds of clients explaining specific points of law in novice terms (www.rainonelaw.com). I have flexible hours.
Teaching Style
Very casual and informative. After all this is about learning the language of "La Dolce Vita". It should be enjoyable and fun for teacher and student alike.
My Hobbies
I love speaking Italian whenever I can; tutoring is the natural extension. I am very involved in my children's club and highschool soccer and waterpolo games; very often traveling through out Southern California.
