Teaching is my vocation. I believe that the classroom should be an exciting learning community that impacts students’ lives. My goal as a teacher is to create an engaging and fun learning environment while encouraging collaboration.

I engage my students through a combination of enthusiasm and a variety of creative and interactive activities that aim to include every student and make each of themfeel a vital member of our learning community.

Here some class engaging and experiential activities: Learning Together

Students’ Voices

​“Silvia brings a level of energy and dedication I have rarely seen in a classroom and I credit much of my success to her. Thanks to her linguistic aptitude, teaching skills and dynamism, Silvia is able to connect with her students in a meaningful way both in the classroom and in non-academic settings. My WSU degree was obtained in no small part thanks to Silvia’s courses, and she has inspired me to become a language teacher myself (I’m living my dream teaching middle schoolers in Italy). I owe Silvia a debt of gratitude.” (Josh S.)

​“I have been lucky enough to have Professor Giorgini as my teacher this current semester, and I could never say enough good things about her. She is a patient, caring, and generous instructor, and I believe I can speak for my entire class when saying we have learned so much from her.  She creates an environment of inclusivity, and validation for others. But I feel that, most importantly, she truly cares about her students. She wants us to succeed for the betterment of our own lives.” (Stephen B.)

​“Professor Giorgini, had a great impact on me as a student. She not only taught
me the Italian language but helped me to understand and come closer to my own culture as an Italian American. In my first class with Professor Giorgini, I learned very quickly that my classmates and I were not just another set of students passing through her class. We all became a small, diverse family. That is what culture is. We were not all Italian, but we all came to understand and love the Italian culture and appreciate its values.” (Christopher C.)
