I graduated from Hofstra Unviersity with a BA in Child Psychology. I also have a MA in Italian Literature from Universita' per gli stranieri-Sapienza (Rome, Italy). My studies abroad have made me respect and appreciate other languages and cultures. I have tutored children and working professionals alike in both Rome, Italy and Istanbul, Turkey (Bogazici Universitesi) with accent reduction/accent modification. I am very well versed in English grammar and syntax and very much enjoy explaining
