Odilia was born in Italy but has lived and travelled across Europe a lot during her studies. She has a master’s degree in Translation, but found her true calling in teaching, sharing her experience and knowledge with others. So, in September 2024, she became an English teacher. Besides teaching and travelling, she loves painting. She’s held three art exhibitions in different cities in Italy, including an individual one as well as with other Italian artists.

She believes great communication is the key to success, that’s why she does her best to create a friendly and supportive environment for her students to help them thrive.
