Experience

I have privately taught English as a second language in France, Spain, Italy and Australia
since 1999. I have also taught at several institutions around the world, most
notably Inlingua in Milan, and Melbourne Institute of Technology where I taught English to international students.

After moving to Australia in 2005, I taught French, Spanish, Italian and Latin
privately. I also regularly taught "Italian for Travellers" at the Sandybeach Centre and occasionally "Spanish for Travellers" at the same location.

Since 2012, my main work has been as an interpreter, working between English and French, Spanish, Italian in the public sector (hospitals, courts, police, VicRoads...) across Melbourne.
