About
I am a passionate and enthusiastic teacher who believes that education can make a real difference in a student's life. Over the past few years, I have taught English in Italian secondary schools and worked as a special education support teacher, experiences that have taught me to look beyond academic results and understand the person behind each student.
For me, the most meaningful part of teaching is helping students fall in love with a subject. I want to spark their curiosity, make learning enjoyable, and show them how what they learn can open doors to new opportunities. I believe that when students feel understood, encouraged, and genuinely interested, they become more confident and motivated to grow.
My journey has also been shaped by experiences outside the classroom. During my Erasmus semester at the University of Leeds, I discovered how much living in a different country can broaden your perspective. As an Italian language tutor for American and international students, I enjoyed sharing my language and culture while learning from theirs. Before starting my teaching career I worked at Brunello Cucinelli s.p.a which was a completely different experience and helped me develop my communication, teamwork, and organizational skills.
Also seasonal jobs. in restaurants and hotels welcoming guests from different backgrounds, as a young university students helped me develop my self-confidence, empathy, and ability to connect with people. These experiences taught me to listen, adapt, work as part of a team, and make people feel welcome.
I would describe myself as open-minded, approachable, and eager to keep learning. Teaching in the United States would be an exciting opportunity to bring together my passion for education, my love of cultural exchange, and my desire to make a positive difference in students' lives. I would love to contribute to a school community where learning goes beyond the classroom and inspires students to discover what they are capable of.
