Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

Do you want to best prepare your child for the start of the school year and upcoming exams? Perfect, let's do it together!
I am used to international students and know how to prepare them well for exams, whether it be on methodology or on the knowledge required in literature.

As a teacher who has helped hundreds of students since 2013, I taught at both the middle and high school levels and am familiar with the requirements of the baccalaureate exam, having been an examiner. I enjoy helping students understand what they hadn't grasped before by explaining it in a different way.
You are not just hiring a French teacher, but an ally for your child to help them achieve their best.

I'm used to working with neurodivergent students; they've always found their way to my ad, and we do good work together. Trained in ADHD and ASD, I just finished my bachelor's degree in psychology.

Don't hesitate to take lessons to help your child catch up and get back on track! Learning French isn't impossible! It requires effort, but I do my best to present it in a lively and accessible way!

My students have consistently made significant progress, going from an average of 5 throughout the year to achieving a 14 average in the French baccalaureate exam. My students get good results on the baccalaureate and, most importantly, they approach it with a relaxed attitude (and can even finish top of their class, as they did in the 2025 EAF session).
I have been preparing classes for these tests for years, I am up to date on methodology and programs.
My services combine the experience of teaching French and the vivacity of a young teacher who succeeds in motivating the most recalcitrant students.
My students have always made significant progress and above all, go to tests with confidence in their abilities.

In this class, we practice conversational English by diving into the stories we love. Instead of dry grammar drilling, our focus is on natural discussion centered on books, writing, cinema, and television. We can chat about characters, narrative themes, storylines, or simply discuss the stories that interest you.

We can also read and discuss short book excerpts or script pieces together, depending on your interests. As a writer, I'm especially interested in how language creates emotion, reveals personality, and brings stories to life. Together, we'll explore not only what characters say, but why they say it that way, and how you can use natural expressions to sound more confident in your own English.

Don't worry — you don't need to be a literary critic to enjoy these lessons. We use stories as a starting point for conversation, not as an excuse to overanalyze every page or scene. Whether you enjoy discussing your favourite novel, breaking down an unforgettable movie scene, or simply chatting about fictional worlds, the goal is to create a relaxed environment where English feels alive and enjoyable.

It's all about enjoying the language instead of seeing it as something intimidating. I will correct your mistakes when appropriate, but mistakes are a natural and valuable part of learning. They help us identify what to improve and build lasting confidence.

Every lesson is tailored to your interests, goals, and pace. The aim is to help you build real-world speaking confidence, expand your vocabulary, and enjoy using English in a relaxed, friendly environment.

MULTILINGUAL LISTENING SUPPORT

If you get stuck, you are welcome to use your native language when necessary. I have passive listening and reading comprehension of Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and German, in addition to being a native Serbian speaker.

Our lessons and explanations will primarily be conducted in English or Serbian.

Lessons are conducted via Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, depending on your preference. We can use screen sharing and digital materials when they are useful for the lesson.

Are you in a BTS program, a bachelor's degree program, a preparatory class, or another higher education program?

Do you need help understanding a text, formulating a problem statement, organizing an essay, or preparing for an exam?

Certified teacher of Modern Literature, holder of the CAPES, I taught French and literature for three years in middle school within the National Education system.

My academic background also includes two years of preparatory classes in literature, first in hypokhâgne and then in khâgne. This training allowed me to acquire a rigorous methodology and solid skills in literature, text analysis, essay writing, commentary, and argumentation.

I can assist you with:

to understand and analyze a text;
identify literary techniques;
to construct a problem statement;
develop a detailed plan;
prepare a text commentary;
mastering the methodology of the essay;
to synthesize documents;
preparing for the general knowledge and expression exam in BTS;
prepare a presentation or oral presentation;
improve your written expression;
organize your revisions.

Thanks to my Master's degree in French as a Foreign Language, I can also support international students who encounter difficulties with university instructions, academic vocabulary, or writing in French.

I don't do the homework for the students. I help them understand the method, develop their thinking skills, and become more independent.

How do you move from making individual artworks to developing a practice that feels genuinely your own?

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of international experience. In these individual mentoring sessions, I work with artists and creative people who want to develop a more personal artistic language, deepen their ideas, or reconnect with a practice that has become stuck or uncertain.

Rather than teaching a particular style or giving you formulas to follow, we look closely at what already interests you: recurring images, materials, questions, experiences, contradictions and ways of thinking. From there, we explore how these elements can become part of a stronger and more individual body of work.

Our sessions may involve discussion of your current work, experimentation, sketchbooks, writing, research, contemporary art and art history, as well as artists, writers and thinkers relevant to the questions emerging from your practice.

We can work on questions such as: What makes your work yours? Which ideas are worth pursuing? How can you develop a concept without simply illustrating it? How can research become part of the work? How do you recognise and move beyond habits, imitation or creative blocks?

This mentoring is suitable for people who want more than technical instruction and are interested in developing an independent, thoughtful and sustainable creative practice.

Sessions are available in English or Portuguese and are shaped around each person's interests, work and creative process.

This class combines advanced Spanish learning with the study of Spanish literature and culture, in a dynamic, participatory environment adapted to the level and objectives of each student.

The sessions are taught by a university professor specializing in Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) and an examiner accredited by the Cervantes Institute, with extensive experience in teaching Spanish to foreign students.

We will work with literary texts from different eras and authors—from the classics to contemporary literature—to develop not only your reading comprehension, but also your ability to express yourself with greater precision, richness, and naturalness in Spanish.

What will we be working on?

✍️ Advanced level vocabulary, structures and linguistic resources.

You don't need to be a literature expert. The goal is for you to learn Spanish through literature, gain a deeper understanding of Spanish culture, and enjoy great works while developing a more sophisticated command of the language.

A class for those who want to go beyond everyday Spanish

If you already have a good foundation in Spanish and want to move towards a more precise, cultured, natural and academic use of the language, this class will allow you to work on the language from a different perspective, combining linguistic learning, literature, thought and culture.

I have also tutored students of different ages and levels, so I understand that everyone learns differently.
My goal is to make every lesson interactive, comfortable, and useful, while helping you make real progress. Let’s improve your English together!

Hello! My name is Alba and I have a degree in Hispanic Philology from the University of Jaén. I also have a Master's degree in Secondary Education Teaching, specializing in Language and Literature, studies that have greatly helped me to know how to approach my classes to achieve academic success.
I can say that I have a very varied background, based on effort and perseverance, because, in addition to the studies already mentioned, I have a degree in Dramatic Arts and I have trained at the Conservatory of Music up to the professional level with the specialty of violin.
For all of this, I have years of experience giving private lessons in Language and Literature, Violin, Piano, English and Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE).

I use a very varied methodology, based primarily on practice and adapted to each situation, depending on the student and the type of learning they want. My goal is for the student not only to pass a subject, but also to learn to work with a study method that will help them when they encounter more difficulties in the future.
My classes are designed for Primary, Secondary and High School students who need help to pass some part of the subject that they find difficult (syntax, literature, writing, reading comprehension...), prepare for important exams or, simply, gain confidence.

As a teacher, I would consider myself an approachable and empathetic person who provides her own materials when needed and is communicative.

The class is particularly suitable for upper-intermediate and advanced Spanish learners, university students, professionals, and anyone with academic or cultural interests who wants to explore the Spanish language in greater depth.

You do not need to be a literature specialist. The aim is to learn Spanish through literature, gain a deeper understanding of Spanish culture, and enjoy great works while developing a more sophisticated command of the language.

A class for those who want to go beyond everyday Spanish

If you already have a solid foundation in Spanish and want to progress towards using the language in a more precise, sophisticated, natural and academic way, this class offers a different approach to learning, combining language, literature, critical thinking and culture.

Hello! My name is Alba and I have a degree in Hispanic Philology from the University of Jaén. I also have a Master's degree in Secondary Education Teaching, specializing in Language and Literature, studies that have greatly helped me to know how to approach my classes to achieve academic success.
I can say that I have a very varied background, based on effort and perseverance, because, in addition to the studies already mentioned, I have a degree in Dramatic Arts and I have trained at the Conservatory of Music up to the professional level with the specialty of violin.
For all of this, I have years of experience giving private lessons in Language and Literature, Violin, Piano, English and Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE).

I use a very varied methodology, based primarily on practice and adapted to each situation, depending on the student and the type of learning they want. My goal is for the student not only to pass a subject, but also to learn to work with a study method that will help them when they encounter more difficulties in the future.
My classes are designed for Primary, Secondary and High School students who need help to pass some part of the subject that they find difficult (syntax, literature, writing, reading comprehension...), prepare for important exams or, simply, gain confidence.

As a teacher, I would consider myself an approachable and empathetic person who provides her own materials when needed and is communicative.
