Bruna is an Italian and German teacher originating from Italy, where she resided until age 24. Over the years her personal and professional goal has been to promote a deeper interest in foreign languages and cultures, allowing motivated and diverse people to overcome the barriers of different cultural misunderstandings and more familiar with intercultural competences.

 

Bruna has studied European Modern Languages at the University of Palermo progressing professionally to teach both Italian and German as second languages. She won an academic scholarship that let her teach as an Italian assistant in a German high school for one year. After this experience she decided to remain in Germany, continuing to work as an Italian and German as a Second Language in the public school for the next fifteen years. In 2011 she moved with her family to the United States, where she lives and works to this day.  

 

Her outlook on language acquisition is as follows:

 

"I believe strongly in the communicative method she uses. She will not only teach the target language, but also introduce students to traditions and cultures related to native speakers of these languages. One will have the feeling right from the beginning that they are able to speak and understand a bit of Italian or German!
