Qualifications and Work Experience
With a degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures (French and Spanish) and a PhD in French Literature, I have a solid academic background. I am a qualified teacher, holding a certification to teach French in Italian public schools and a certification from Ca' Foscari University of Venice for teaching Italian to foreigners.
In the Italian school system, I manage Italian language projects for newly arrived students and have collaborated with the University of Turin, teaching Erasmus students. I also spent two years at the Italian Cultural Institute in Paris, where I taught a predominantly French-speaking audience and contributed to the institute's cultural activities.

Hobbies and Interests
I love traveling and discovering new cultures. Internationality is part of my daily life: My husband is French and our son is bilingual. Besides reading, I enjoy long mountain walks and yoga.

Accommodation and Neighborhood
You will have access to a 60 m² independent apartment, located just 100 meters from my home. The apartment consists of a living room, kitchenette, bathroom, entrance hall, and bedroom, offering you the freedom to be completely independent, but with the security of having your teacher always available for anything you need.
The neighborhood is quiet and residential, well-served by shops and home to one of the best-stocked local markets in Turin.

Excursions and Local Attractions
The apartment is ideally located in Turin, about 250 meters from a metro station that will take you in just a few minutes to major attractions, such as the Egyptian Museum, the Mole Antonelliana Cinema Museum, the Automobile Museum, and Valentino Park. You can easily explore historic squares such as Piazza Castello and Piazza San Carlo, and admire the Basilica of Superga.
By public transportation, you can also reach the majestic Royal Palace of Venaria, the Stupinigi Hunting Lodge, and the evocative Sacra di San Michele. For nature lovers, the mountains are just a short distance, perfect for hiking and adventures.

Turin: A City to Discover
Italy's first capital, Turin will amaze you with its magnificent monuments and the 18 km of porticoes that wind throughout the city center. These historic porticoes, a true architectural treasure, allow you to stroll and discover the city under shelter, even on rainy days. Crafted in different styles and materials, they create an elegant and unique atmosphere, transforming Turin into a true open-air "living room."
