Salve amici! Mi chiamo Alessandra.
After 10 years in Los Angeles, I have returned to my U.S. hometown of Chicago. I am now offering Italian language lessons and services in the Chicago area and online.
I am a native Italian/English speaker who has been teaching Italian language and culture to students of all ages since 2003. I have taught in international language schools, and I am now focusing on private clients. Having learned Italian and English simultaneously, I possess native proficiency in both languages, allowing for excellent comprehension of (and ability to explain/translate) idioms, colloquialisms, and language nuances to help students converse more naturally. |
