Living in Other, Italy

I speak English, French, Swedish and Italian fluently. I grew up travelling and it made me learn quickly about different cultures and perspectives. I studied to become a teacher and translator but I worked in stores, museums and as a babysitter as well. I like challenges and new things. I love music, dancing - especially ballet and art. I studied art history but I haven´t worked with it (not yet). I love to paint, draw and talk about beautiful things. I love nature and travelling. People say I am patient, resilient but that I get bored pretty easily. I stay patient but I need to have reasoning and motivation behind what I am doing. I worked as a teacher privately - as a tutor or a mentor - for over 17 years and as a teacher in schools - at different levels - for 7 years. I have seen students achieve great results and I love to seem them happy and satisfied with their achievements. I always prioritise the student´s personality and individual goals. I like to give structure and a meaning to what we learn. As I said in the previous paragraph, I tend to get bored pretty easily so I know how hard it can be to stay calm and focused on books. But I know that I have to slow down if something becomes unclear or difficult. I adapt to students and I find the right method to give language-notions.

She is definitely the best teacher I have met on Italki. She is so professional in language learning, and she gave me many amazing, helpful suggestions for improving my English. I am so glad I met Gene. She is a truly exceptional teacher — don’t miss the chance to learn from her. She is the treasure here.
