Natural, fluent English through relaxed real-life conversation
From 24.35 Fr /h
My main focus is free conversation and emotional confidence. I love creating a relaxed, safe, and playful space where we can smile, laugh, and enjoy talking together naturally. Language learning, for me, starts with connection — feeling comfortable, welcomed, and free to express yourself without fear of making mistakes. Conversation is at the heart of my lessons. Grammar is only introduced when useful and in a simple, practical way. Most of the time, we talk about real life, emotions, travel, cultures, and whatever is alive for you in that moment. Lessons are co-created and spontaneous, with no rigid structure or traditional classroom feeling. I believe learning is always mutual — I learn from you as much as you learn from me! Music and creativity are an important part of my life. I travel with a ukulele and use music and singing as gentle tools to support pronunciation, rhythm, and self-expression. I’m also deeply connected to art and handmade creation. I practice yoga, meditation, conscious breathing, free and intuitive movement, and dance. These practices help me bring presence, patience, and deep listening into our conversations. I also work with ceremonial cacao and facilitate cacao rituals and workshops, including online spaces. I’m passionate about conscious living, natural skincare and products that respect both our skin and the planet, and mindful nutrition. I mainly follow a vegan lifestyle, with flexibility inspired by travel and cultural experiences. Many students tell me they feel “at home” in my lessons, like talking with a friend. If you’re looking for a warm, human, creative, and non-traditional way to practice a language, I’d love to meet you!
Extra information
I am a native English and Italian speaker. I grew up in a bilingual family, speaking two languages since I was born. I am 31 years old and I currently live in Brazil, in the Amazon. I have been traveling for almost ten years. I have lived in London and Barcelona, and I have traveled in Asia, including India, Nepal, Thailand, and Laos. I also crossed the Atlantic Ocean by sailboat to arrive in Brazil. I learned Spanish by living in Barcelona for three years, and I now also speak Brazilian Portuguese. For me, learning a new language is magical. It helps us communicate, connect with people, and feel at home in new places. I love the moment when the mind relaxes, something clicks, and the language begins to flow naturally. My approach is practical, gentle, and real — shaped by life on the road and a deep curiosity for cultures, sounds, and ways of speaking. I’d be happy to support you in connecting with your new language in a light, enjoyable, and meaningful way!

Experience / Qualifications
Two years ago, I made one of the most important decisions of my life. I left a stable job, a city lifestyle, and everything familiar behind. I packed a backpack, sold or donated what I owned, and bought a one-way ticket to India on February 14th, 2024. Choosing myself was the best decision I’ve ever made. Since then, my life has changed deeply. Traveling the world has not only been an external journey, but also a very profound inner one. I am still in a process of growth, transformation, and simplification — learning who I am, what I truly want, and how many different ways of living exist beyond the usual structures and expectations. In India, I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training and deepened my meditation practice. These experiences taught me presence, patience, and the importance of listening — qualities I naturally bring into my lessons. Today, I feel a strong calling to share what I’ve learned and to be of service. I believe that language is a powerful tool for connection, self-expression, and expansión. I m here to support people in their journey, with kindness, respect, and authenticity.
