2011 - 2017
My fields of expertise over the last ten years have ranged from freelance translation, event management to education. I have been teaching French and Italian (from KS3 to KS5) and German (KS3) in secondary schools over the last nine years.
The common denominator is my strong passion for languages, combined with a serious and ongoing commitment to maintaining a high level of proficiency in Italian (my mother tongue), English, French and German. My strengths stem from working with these languages in various professional contexts, alongside making languages a considerable part of my life and personal interests.
Born, bred (and educated) in Italy, I continued my further studies and spent most of my professional life in the UK, dealing with the French and German languages daily.
