I grew up in Belgium and when I was still little my family and I moved to New York City. Being immersed in a new culture and new language wasn't easy. My teachers were wonderful and patient, especially my ESL teacher whom I later met again while working in a language school! I knew very early on that I wanted to teach languages and after high school spent a summer teaching English in Asia. In college, I earned a double major in French and Italian literature and then started working as a private tutor, an Italian teacher, a preschool teaching assistant and an English teacher. I love teaching online because it allows me to connect with children all over the world and share my passion for languages with them! When not teaching I enjoy playing volleyball, reading, traveling and learning Portuguese!
