Matteo graduated in Language and Culture of Eastern Asia at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in 2009. From 2009 to 2011 he began to travel to China as often as he could in order to obtain a deeper knowledge of Chinese culture and language through first-hand experience. Despite the strong bound developed with China, in 2012 he returned to Italy and started his master degree course in Language and Culture of Asia and Mediterranean Africa at Ca’ Foscari University. After graduating he started working as an interpreter and translator and also as a teacher. In 2016 he found the Bridge School. Very happy with the teaching method and working environment, he has been working as an Italian teacher ever since.

“I think practice comes before theory. Trying is the first step in learning, that’s why I never stop exploring, doubting, looking for new ways of solving problems.”
