Hello!

Hello everyone, I am very happy to be here and extremely excited to begin this new adventure and meet you all.

Here’s a little bit about me;

I grew up in the beautiful city of Brisbane, in the sunny state of Queensland, Australia.

After completing my university studies, I moved to Naples in 2006.

In Australia, I worked as a mainstream primary and middle school teacher.

I have always been very passionate about teaching, considering it more than a job, but a mission.

I have always considered myself lucky because I have the opportunity to do what I love.

When I moved to Italy, I decided to obtain my ESL and sectoral translator qualifications. I began working for private and state schools in the city, while building a private clientele, primarily made up of primary, high-school and university students.

Approximately three years ago, I began working with adult professionals seeking English coaching and training to advance their English language skills in their career contexts. I realised that I absolutely LOVE teaching adults. I now work for a company where I teach professionals (from different sectors: banking, legal, pharmaceutical etc), but my dream is to build my own online business, teaching\learning community for such business professionals, my dream is to become a true teacherpreneur.

I have joined the TAP community \project because of this dream, because I feel I need guidance to help me transform this dream into reality. In the next 30 days I am hoping to build my business foundations and get clients.

I know that I will learn very much from all of you and I am looking forward to sharing ideas and making progress step by step. 😊

Ciao, Silvia
