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.

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

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