Gin (short for Virginia) Mazzoni is a native Italian speaker from Florence, Tuscany. She holds a BA in Foreign Languages and Literatures from the University of Florence, and she's finishing her MA in Cultural and Religious Intermediation at the same university.

She has a background in law, but languages have been one of her greatest passions for a while, and teaching Italian has been her job for almost the past decade. She moved to the US in 2019 to work as an Italian teaching assistant at Middlebury College in Vermont, and she now teaches privately, both one-on-one and in small groups, in person and remotely, at every level and age. She tailors lessons around the students' needs and makes sure the "viaggio" into Italian is fun, engaging, and truly useful for the learner. Apart from Italian and English, she speaks French (lived in Strasbourg, France, for a bit), Spanish, and Portuguese; can understand some basic German, Russian, Greek and Catalan; in the (slow, on going) process of learning way too many others: so, she's quite some first-hand expertise on what to do (or don't do) to efficiently learn a language. She currently lives in Vermont with her partner, who's an Italian teacher too, from Sardinia, and their blind 13-year-old cat, Nocciolina, who makes sure in-person students are supported enough by her constant purring. Apart from languages, Gin is passionate about quite a variety of things, among which: sociolinguistics, civil rights, animals, music, old black and white movies, acrobatic dance (which she also teaches), and art, in whatever form it presents. In her free time, she reads, cooks, paints, wanders around the woods, pets dogs, plays chess, and occasionally - and unwillingly - murders plants.
