I was born in Rome, and I have always been passionate about all forms of language, verbal and non-verbal. I have a degree in Modern Literature, in which I was able to direct my studies and interests towards linguistics and, after many years in Scotland, now I am attending a research Masters in Linguistics in Utrecht. Over the years I have understood how communication and languages are fundamental and how the knowledge of these allows a deep knowledge of the culture of the language. Also, I think learning a language is a wonderful way to train the brain and learn to think in different ways. For this reason, as a native Italian tutor, I am not a fan of mnemonic teaching of the language, but my aim is to make my students understand the mechanism and general behaviour of Italian. My linguistic and philosophical approach is very important for teaching Italian to beginners and advancers.
