Frequently Asked Questions

I hold a Level 5 TEFL certificate, a degree in English Literature and French from the University of Westminster (London) and a Masters degree in Digital Marketing. Additionally, I am currently pursuing my CELTA qualification to further enhance my teaching skills.

I have over 2 years of experience teaching children aged 3-14 from diverse backgrounds around the world. My experience has taught me how to engage young minds and cater to their unique learning needs.

I teach both English and Italian.

I teach children aged 4-14, as well as teens and adults.

I teach all levels, from A2 to advanced learners. My teaching focuses on speaking, encouraging critical thinking, engaging in debates, discussing various topics, asking questions, and exploring answers. Because of this approach, my classes are best suited for students with at least an A2 level of proficiency.

My teaching methodology is student-centered, focusing on practical, engaging, and interactive lessons. I prioritize speaking skills while also covering grammar, vocabulary, and other language skills. My approach is tailored to each student’s needs, encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and confidence.
