About Me
French of Italian origin and linguist, I am trilingual French - English - Italian.
I have been working for over 30 years in international companies where my working language is English. For the past 5 years, I have developed English courses for adults to help them improve their English expression, in the workplace and in everyday life. I train students of all levels and all ages and develop my own pedagogy in order to adapt it to each student.
For the past year, I have also been giving French lessons for foreigners who have to settle in France and have to "digest" our language as quickly as possible.
My motto: "there are no bad students, there are only bad teachers". All teaching is based exclusively on pedagogy. It is at the center of my teaching, is the pledge of the success of my students.

Many French people admit not feeling at ease when they have to express themselves in English to English-speaking people. They understand well what they hear but do not have solid keys to express themselves with ease, fluidity, by constructing rich sentences.

They think that what they lack the most is the vocabulary but generally, what they lack the most are grammatical keys on which to build everything.

The grammar of a language is the equivalent of the foundations of a house. Without foundations, a house crumbles. Without grammar, the expression remains wobbly, approximate, even false to the point of sometimes becoming incomprehensible.

This is why I offer private lessons exclusively in English grammar to allow you to weld your "foundations" and free your expression by giving you confidence.
Together, we will take, deepen and consolidate your grammatical knowledge
We will reinforce your mastery of the fundamental structures of the language and will also work on the idioms which English people love and which will allow you to make a difference.

In order to progress in the best possible conditions, I offer private lessons in the evening of 1h or 1h30:
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Saturday mornings between 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. or afternoon between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Your professional environment requires you to practice English but you do not feel comfortable with your English speakers, both orally and in writing,
You know that English will be essential throughout your professional life, you are motivated and want to progress quickly.
With 30 years of experience in international companies where English is my only working language, I have developed a personal pedagogy adapted to the needs of adults. I propose tailor-made courses to help you progress on all aspects of the language that limit you today. I propose you to :
- Resume, deepen and consolidate your grammatical knowledge
- Reinforce your mastery of the fundamental structures of the language and idiomatic expressions
- Improve and streamline your oral and written expression through thematic discussions and text studies (news, press, literature, daily topics, drafting company documents: turn of mails, presentations ...)
- Enrich your vocabulary
In order to progress in the best possible conditions, I propose private lessons in the evening:
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 7 pm and 10 pm
Saturday mornings between 9.30am and 1pm or afternoon between 2pm and 7pm

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

Always enjoying languages, I grew up in an international culture and school. I indeed lived 6 years in Italy during my childhood and therefore speak fluent Italian. This made it easier for me to learn English (obtaining Cambridge KET level in 6th grade) and German, which I present all three at the baccalaureate. I also learned Spanish on a personal basis by passion for languages!
Having therefore learned four foreign languages myself, I am passionate about this objective and will take great pleasure in helping you achieve it.

This course is therefore open to everyone, for discovery as well as for further study (up to level C2 in Italian, C1 in English and B2 in German). You can learn to understand, speak, read or write this language and progress at your own pace.

Feel free to contact me for more information !

Passionate about languages and foreign literatures, I would like to help you discover my language by offering courses tailored to your needs and goals. With a Franco-Italian university degree in literature, I teach students of all levels as well as adults.

Having learned French myself through direct contact with native speakers, I place great importance on learning through practical use of the language. Therefore, after discussing your goals and language level, I will offer you numerous role-playing exercises to ensure that learning vocabulary, grammar rules, and typical expressions is immediate and enjoyable.

Depending on your goals, we can then focus in more detail on the points that are causing you difficulty, which I will explain while giving you tips to aid memorization. I can even trace the origins of certain expressions, if you're interested, to gain a deeper understanding of the language's structure and its hidden similarities with French.

On the other hand, if you don't need to delve deeper into grammar, that's not a problem: we can simply continue practicing conversation and learning to communicate in everyday life situations.

My main goal is to get you using the language as quickly as possible. And if you already have an advanced level, this will be an opportunity for me to introduce you to Italian literature, cinema, or music, as well as the aspects of my culture that interest you most.
