Experience
I offer one-on-one Italian lessons for all levels of Italian. As a native Italian speaker, I am able to help those aiming at improving their conversational skills. At the same time, as a PhD student I also bring the academic skills necessary for university and college level Italian. I have experience teaching both beginners and advanced students. While in Italy, I specialized in teaching advanced students who want to improve their reading, speaking, and writing skills, as well as gain a broader knowledge of Italy and its culture. My knowledge of the finer points of the Italian language is profound and I really enjoy sharing my skills. I also offer one-on-one lessons of writing (in English). At Cornell, I have taught various First-Year Writing Seminars and my students have won different university prizes and awards for their papers. I focus on the skills required to write in a clear, organized, and persuasive way. Depending on your goals, we can focus on improving your grammar, word-choice, writing at the sentence level, or ability to write coherent and cogent paragraphs.
