About Us

The founder of the agency is Jacqueline de Cristofaro who is Italo-American. She attended an International school and is bilingual. Jackie is married and has two sons aged 21 and 17 years. She has therefore grown up and continues to live in a very bilingual environment.

She is now responsible of the EDUCATIONAL division of Europlacements. Since 2007 she also has been coordinating the English Vehicular Program al Collegio Villoresi San Giuseppe and consulting especially in the start-up phases of many bilingual schools and nurseries.

In our new offices Jacqueline will be networking with other consultants and educational specialists and proposing workshops and training for parents, students, teachers and schools focusing on Bilinguism, from Kindergarten all the way to University entry programs.

From June 2011 Gianna Taccone has joined Jacqueline and is responsible for the PRIVATE division of Europlacements. Both of them share the belief that bilingual skills are fundamental from an early age.

Gianna lives in a bi-lingual environment having an English husband and two children, James and Thomas, aged 7 and 4 years old, who are both perfectly bilingual. Being a working mom, Gianna has a good understanding of many common problems of today’s lifestyle, that require a careful balance and management of all parties involved! She is also very active in her children’s school community.

Our Mission at Euro-placements is to match the right candidate with the right school or private client and to assist all those who believe that English is an essential element in any student’s or child’s formative years.
