From 33.31 C$ /h
I am passionate about languages, both from a linguistic and a cultural perspective. In teaching, I find my truest identity and my happy place because I can conjugate creativity, knowledge, literature and pedagogy (some of my main interests). My approach focuses on creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment where students can thrive, develop critical communication skills, and embrace cultural diversity. Whether teaching beginners or advanced learners, I strive to instill a love for language, cultural diversity and lifelong learning in each student, with the purpose to create future honest citizens and brilliant leaders.

About Me
I am a language teacher with a degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures, graduating with top honors (110/110 cum laude). I have taught English in private schools and have been offering private lessons in Italian, Spanish, and English for the past five years.
My teaching method is based on student motivation and individual learning goals, in line with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This means that lessons cover a wide range of language skills—from a structured approach to grammar to a broader understanding of culture and the use of language in real-world contexts.
In addition to my background in languages, I hold a Master's degree in Psychology from a UK institution. I believe that education involves a broad spectrum of knowledge, both methodological and psychological. I apply this understanding in my classes by focusing on the needs of each group or individual learner. This includes identifying why they want to learn the language, how they intend to use it (e.g., for business), and what their specific goals are before the course begins.
I also believe that it is essential for students to feel at ease in the classroom. For this reason, I strive to create a supportive and welcoming environment—one where students feel free to express their thoughts and, importantly, are comfortable making mistakes. I see mistakes not as failures, but as valuable indicators of progress. As the saying goes: no pain, no gain.
