My Bio
Behind the Business
My passion for languages started at University and progressed over the years in Italy and then in the UK. London has been my home for a very long time, giving me a beautiful and exciting life.
Why me?
I have dual citizenship, British and Italian. London opened my eyes, connected me to many wonderful people from all around the world. The result is that I have been using English, French and Italian for many years on a daily basis, so I can guarantee deep understanding of the message you wish to communicate.
I have been working as an Italian teacher for many years, so I can guarantee deep understanding of the Italian language and culture.
I also have years of experience as a Travel Agent, Estate Agent, Property Investor and Volunteer Archaeologist. Through these jobs I have extended my language knowledge of various disciplines related to the sectors I now work with (Technical, Legal & Commercial, Medical and Web), so that you can rely on a professional who knows the concepts behind them.
I am organized, reliable and committed to achieve the best results, making a difference through language.
Let me take care of all your linguistic needs. To help promote your business. To help you succeed.
