Erika M.
Italian & ESL Instructor
Hello! My name is Erika. I come from Italy, and I was born in Potenza, in the center of southern Italy. Currently, I live in Sicily, in the beautiful Syracuse. I have a Bachelor’s in Foreign Languages and Translation from CIELS in Padova, and I have also completed a Master’s program that enriched me and has allowed me to grow as a teacher.
I am attentive and thoughtful; I am a patient and passionate teacher and an enthusiastic student. I love learning new languages, idioms, and cultures (I am studying Japanese and Turkish!). I believe communication is an essential and fundamental part of human life.
I have two years of teaching experience at a private school in Potenza as an English and Spanish teacher, and I used to teach Italian as a foreign language when I lived in Padova, and I still do it in Syracuse. In 2019, I visited New York City and fell in love with it. I love traveling, reading, and having good times.
