vi capiamo

We understand you AND the challenges you face.

Ciao. I’m Deborah. I was born in the USA and speak Italian. When I lived and worked in Italy, I experienced first-hand the challenges expats face when living and working abroad. After I returned to the USA, I made it my mission to help expats improve their lives here.

I have worked in both business and education and earned a Master’s in Business Administration and a Master’s in Language Education. For over 25 years I have dedicated myself to helping immigrants improve their lives and career opportunities by improving their English communication skills and deepening their cultural knowledge of the USA.

I have seen my Italian husband Marco and our close Italian friends struggle to reach their full potential in their careers just because their communication skills were not up to the level of their professional expertise.

Together we created “Effective English” to help motivated Italian professionals become more confident English communicators, able to present the best versions of themselves in the USA. With improved, confident communication skills, they have accessed more opportunities to grow and share their passion for their work.
