I have been teaching all my life and I can say that this is my true passion. I taught French in Italy then moved to California about 15 years ago, and I decided to switch to my mother tongue: Italian. I have a bachelor’s degree (University of Torino-Italy) and a Master's degree in teaching Italian to foreigners.  (University Tor Vergata – Rome) I taught in person at Chico State University for 6 years, then online for different companies…then about 5 years ago, I discovered T.P.R.S and it was love at first sight! I had looked for something like that my entire life. I was never satisfied with the results I was getting with grammar and traditional teaching. With this method we try to recreate the process a child goes through when learning to speak, and, very important, we have fun in class! Having fun is an indispensable emotional element for a successful class and…my students confirm that! “Provare per credere” we say in Italian (= Try it to believe it!). So, I hope to see you soon in my Italian class!
