About Me

Experience Summary

I am a native Italian speaker fluent in English. I taught Italian to adults through a service provided by Columbia University, as well as to Public High School students selected for merit by the DOE, who may otherwise not have been able to afford private tutoring. I have also taught visual arts (painting, drawing, collage) and used art as therapy in educational settings with both adults and children. I hold a New York License as a Creative Arts Therapist.

Teaching Style

I teach in a student centered way though a careful initial assessment of learning style, specific needs and objectives, and current level of expertise.

My Hobbies

Reading, gardening, walking in the park with my dog.

Other Comments

I am a very persistent, enthusiastic teacher, however as a trained therapist I naturally attune my teaching style to different students.
