Ali CamelGig Harbor, WAI'm a college student in Washington State, but I grew up in Italy. Reach your language goals!
I lived in Northern Italy for over 3 years as a kid and attended Italian public schools for three years in a row. I attended a language immersion camp in the summers for 6 years, and have thought at that same camp for two summers. I work with kids full-time and also speak Spanish (for those of you with other language backgrounds.) I'm happy to build lessons to fit specific needs and requests as well as learning challenges or disabilities.
