"Hi! I'm Silvana. I am a lifelong polyglot with 20 years of experience as an Italian and English language one-on-one tutor and classroom teacher. My most recent experience is teaching for an after-school program. I have experience teaching students ages 9 through adult.

I am also a multilingual freelance translator and editor who has received recognition in my field, in which I have worked for almost 20 years. Along with my graduate studies in linguistics, it has helped me develop good intuition as to what works best for each student. My classroom teaching experiences have included students of all levels in one group, which can be challenging as well as rewarding, and have helped me to deepen my ability to reach students individually and successfully encourage them to develop confidence in their speaking, reading, and writing skills.

I have a deep love for linguistics and do my best to make it enjoyable for both adults and children, and open to input on how I may best help my students. I take great pride in witnessing my students develop confidence and master a language. I would love the opportunity to help you as well." less...
