Hi! I'm a passionate language teacher with a communicative and inclusive approach. Having lived in Russia for 3 years teaching international students, I know exactly how to make lessons engaging. I use digital tools, along with my own custom-made materials. Whether you are preparing for CILS (B1 Citizenship or standard), PLIDA, DELE, or university exams or if you simply want to improve your conversation skills;I will create a personalized path to help you speak with confidence from day one.

Students can expect dynamic, personalized, and interactive lessons where communication is at the center. I use a variety of activities, including practical exercises, authentic materials, and interactive games. I often create my own resources and use digital tools like Wordwall, Quizizz, Kahoot, and Educaplay. Students can also receive materials directly in the virtual classroom. I focus on making learning motivating, fun, and effective, helping students practice grammar, vocabulary, and real-life communication confidently.

I have over ten years of experience teaching Italian and Spanish to students of all ages and backgrounds. My career took a significant international turn during the years I spent in Russia and Spain (where I also completed my studies), working in private language schools with both adults and children. Currently, I work as a freelance teacher and collaborate with an online language school, focusing on: Exam Preparation: Specialized coaching for CILS (including B1 Citizenship), PLIDA, and DELE (A1-B2). Academic Support: Helping middle school, high school, and university students excel in their language exams. Global Reach: Teaching learners from all over the world, successfully adapting my communicative method to various cultural contexts. Custom Resources: I personally design interactive materials using tools like Wordwall, Kahoot, Quizizz, and Educaplay to ensure every lesson is effective, modern, and engaging.

Beyond my teaching career, I have a solid professional background as a commercial back-office assistant in a corporate environment. This experience is a huge asset for students who need to learn Business Italian or Spanish, as I understand the dynamics of corporate communication, professional emails, and office vocabulary. As a polyglot who speaks Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and three other languages, I have been in your shoes many times. I know exactly what it feels like to learn a language from scratch, and I use this empathy to create a motivating and inclusive environment. My multicultural life and my time living abroad have made me adaptable and patient—qualities that help me connect deeply with my students' goals, whether they are moving for work, studying for a degree, or simply following a passion.
