Expert Profile: Chris Platamone

Expertise: I can answer all basic to advanced grammar questions. I have read much of Italian literature, but I teach Italian grammar from the point of view of an English speaker, and therin lies my expertise: Italian is not my native tongue, but I have an excellent handle on all things grammatical and can help people bridge the gap between English and Italian.

Experience in the area
I attended school in Florence, Italy for 1 and a half years.

Organizations
I am already an expert on Allexperts.com--this is a new application because my email address has changed.

Publications
I have published a translation of a short story in an anthology of Italian women writers, and I have had a letter published on the web site of Italian journalist Beppe Severgnini.

Education/Credentials
Bachelor's degree, Italian language and literature, San Francisco State University, 1984. Secondary Teaching Credential, San Francisco State University, 1990.

Past/Present Clients
I have taught hundreds of students in both high school and adult education classes over the past 18 years.
