Hi, my name is Brandon.
I am a native Italian speaker and a language guide.
In my life I work with Italian language education and integration. Helping people find a voice in this language is not just my job, it is a true life goal.
This desire has been with me since childhood. In the town where I grew up, I often saw foreign people in difficulty, unable to communicate, vulnerable, isolated. Some were helped, many were ignored, others were even mocked. Deep inside, I clearly felt that one day I would want to do something for them.
As I grew up, even when life seemed to take me in another direction, that path in my heart never changed. Every time I helped someone understand, unblock themselves, feel less frustrated, I felt that I was doing exactly what I was meant to do.
After high school, I went through a hard period, also from a health point of view. Despite this, every day, for years, I immersed myself in linguistic, cultural, and emotional exchanges with people of many nationalities. It was an intense and formative journey, deeply aligned with who I am.
From this direct experience my method was born, which I called LA BUSSOLA ITALIANA® 🧭🇮🇹.
An approach based on practice, emotion, and relationship, which continues to evolve together with me and is part of my life path.
In my way of teaching you will find empathy, presence, and respect. I do not consider you “a student”, but a person who is going through a learning process. For me, you are first and foremost a human being.
I am not here to judge you in any way, but to accompany you. To support you when needed, to guide you when you feel lost, to walk with you inside the language.
The environment I offer is professional, welcoming, and human. You are free to be yourself.
