Laura Racioppi

Ciao, I’m Laura! My journey as a teacher started during my university years when my friends and I decided to open an afterschool program in Naples. By day, we taught children, and in the evenings, we welcomed migrants, helping them learn Italian. I went on to earn a master’s degree in Teaching Italian as a second language and I’ve been teaching for years, sharing my love for my mother tongue, helping others connect with the Italian culture, language, and literature ever since. For me, learning a new language is a journey of building confidence, embracing another culture, and not worrying about mistakes. The secret? Learning can actually be fun! I love creating a learning experience where everyone in my class feels encouraged and inspired.
