Sophie Godarzi

I’m a Native English speaker who is a recent UC Berkeley Fall 2022 graduate looking for an opportunity to teach English in Italy. I am also a 120+ hour TEFL and TESOL certified ESL teacher who currently works at Native Camp. I graduated with a writing-intensive Global Studies major and a Journalism minor. Now, I hope to use my strong skills in the English language to help fuel students around the world toward better opportunities in the future.
