About Me
Ciao! I'm a native Italian speaker from Switzerland with advanced English proficiency (IELTS 8.0), currently studying International Management. I'm passionate about helping students gain confidence in Italian and English through personalized, practical lessons.
What I love about teaching:
I genuinely enjoy seeing students progress from hesitant speakers to confident communicators. Having learned English to a C2 level myself, I understand the challenges and frustrations of language learning - and more importantly, I know what strategies actually work.
My teaching style:
I'm patient, encouraging, and flexible. Some students love structured grammar lessons, others prefer conversational practice - I adapt to what works best for you. I believe learning should be engaging, not boring, so I use real-world examples, current topics, and materials that match your interests.
Who I work best with:
Students who are motivated to improve and willing to practice between lessons. Whether you're preparing for an exam, need Italian/English for work, or just want to speak more naturally, I'm here to help you reach your goals. I especially enjoy working with university students, young professionals, and anyone who appreciates a relaxed but productive learning environment.
I teach Italian (all levels) and English (B1-C1). Lessons are online via Zoom/Teams, making it convenient no matter where you are.
