Do you want to improve your English, whether for professional, personal, or academic reasons, or perhaps you need academic support? This course is for you!

I offer English lessons or customized tutoring sessions tailored to your level, regardless of your age. Through interactive and dynamic sessions, I am committed to helping you progress quickly in learning and mastering the language without overwhelming you, adapting to your pace and personal goals.

In our lessons, we will learn or review the basics: grammar, essential vocabulary, spelling, simple conversations, as well as listening and reading comprehension. We will also work on speaking, writing, and understanding and analyzing more complex texts. If you need academic support, I can also help you better understand your lessons, complete your exercises, and prepare for your exams.

I offer learning through varied activities (role-playing, exercises, readings, discussions), regular monitoring to assess your progress and adapt lessons to your needs, as well as a relaxed and motivating atmosphere to help you gain confidence.

About me :
I am currently a student at VUB in an English-language program and a native English-speaking tutor. I spent two years at the French School of Shanghai, where I gave private French and English lessons. There, I had the opportunity to work with students from diverse backgrounds and levels, adapting my methods to their specific needs.

Is it easier to learn Italian or French? Italian or Portuguese? Italian or Swedish? Who knows! After starting to study my fifth language, I would love to have an answer... perhaps we will discover it together, by discussing in Italian, whether you are a beginner or at a more advanced level.

I would be delighted to organize learning sessions tailored to your objectives, if you have any, and your favorite subjects. I am passionate about urban planning, adventure books, theater, and olive oil, but I am also very curious and ready to prepare on your favorite topics.

I love beautiful grammar, but when learning a new language, my mantra is: "Language is a means of communication."

...and like true Italians, we will also learn to talk with our hands!

In this class I help kids learn math and science in a fun and easy way. I explain things step by step and use games, examples, and simple activities so everything is easier to understand. The goal is to help students feel more confident, ask questions, and enjoy learning math and science. It is about understanding how things work, learning how to think logically, and enjoying the process of learning. I adapt my teaching to the needs of each child and encourage curiosity, creativity and independent thinking.
