Italian course for foreigners and preparation for official exams and certifications
From 25 € /h
In class I love discovering languages and cultures...exploring them and crossing them as if they were a bridge that unites me with you.
I work from a communicative and student-centered teaching approach, using active, collaborative, personalized activities connected to real-world contexts. For me, grammar is not the end goal, but a tool that helps us understand how others express themselves, think, and feel.
My goal is for you to discover the value of languages beyond words and enjoy the process of learning them through both traditional and innovative methodologies and resources based on new technologies.

About Me
Hello!
My name is Mercedes and I am a teacher of Italian and Spanish for foreigners.
My relationship with languages stems from a genuine passion for discovering other ways of seeing the world.
Throughout my career, I've come to understand that learning a language means much more than learning words or grammar rules. For me, language and culture are inextricably linked. That's why my teaching is based on a communicative and intercultural approach: learning to express oneself, to understand others, and to interpret the world from different perspectives.
In my classes, grammar is not an end in itself, but a tool that helps us understand how other cultures express themselves and how we can participate in them authentically.
Furthermore, I teach from a very real personal experience: having had to move to another country to live. I've lived in Madrid since 2009 and I know firsthand the needs, challenges, and difficulties that arise when one is immersed in another language and culture. But I also know the enormous richness that this experience offers. That's why I try to help my students not only overcome the obstacles, but also discover and appreciate all the positive aspects of the encounter between cultures.
My goal is to accompany each student in a process that goes beyond language learning: a path that allows us to better understand others, develop empathy, and open ourselves to new ways of thinking and feeling.
Because when we learn a language, we are actually building bridges.
And those bridges help us to transform ourselves into true intercultural speakers.
