She is an 18-year-old girl who attends a language high school and whose native language is Italian and Spanish.
I have always had a great aptitude for languages, which has also yielded results in languages that don't sound natural in my first language, such as French and English.
The ragazzi and ragazze are a great aspiration which also passes through an adolescent, who thinks he is able to look at the subject in a more interactive way and not so frontal and monotonous.

German – Since I'm a native German speaker and just graduated from high school in Germany, I believe I'm qualified to teach German to children. This would be done either at the client's home or via video chat.

English- As I just mentioned i finished my German High school diploma a few months ago. I truly believe I can teach English to children and adults as I helped many of my classmates get through their final English exams.

Learning a language should feel exciting, motivating, and personal — not stressful.
In this class, you’ll learn English or Italian in a simple, friendly, and interactive way. Together, we will focus on real communication, useful vocabulary, pronunciation, and conversation based on your goals.

Using fun activities, personalized exercises, role-plays, and everyday topics, you will gain confidence and improve step by step. My goal is to make learning enjoyable, clear, and rewarding — because progress feels amazing when the lesson fits your needs.

By the end of the course, you will feel more confident speaking, writing, and understanding the language in real-life situations.

I am a Cambridge CELTA-qualified teacher, a native British English speaker originally from London, and I am passionate about helping students achieve their goals and succeed in their Cambridge exams. I offer both online and in-person Cambridge exam preparation courses designed to help students feel confident, prepared, and ready for their exams.

Since 2020, I have worked with Cambridge English preparing students for exams ranging from Starters (Pre-A1) all the way to Proficiency (C2). Alongside teaching, I have also worked as a Cambridge exam invigilator here in Lugano, helping to manage and supervise the examination process itself. This experience has given me a deep understanding not only of the language requirements, but also of how the exams are structured, assessed, and conducted in real exam conditions.

Over the years, I have developed my courses to cover every aspect of the exams in depth, while also giving students plenty of time for guided and monitored exam practice. My aim is not only to improve students’ English, but also to help them feel comfortable, familiar, and confident with the exam format itself.

The course is offered in two formats:

This course includes:

An overview of all parts of the exam

Introduction to timing and exam techniques
all practice materials are provided in digital form included in the course

10-Lesson In-Depth Exam Preparation Course

This course includes:

In-depth coverage of every part of the exam
Exam tips, strategies, and techniques
Homework and guided preparation
Writing task correction (live) and feedback
Monitored exam practice
Introduction to timing and exam techniques
Support in building confidence and improving exam performance
