Hello! I’m Marina – your friendly and flexible English tutor/support counsellor.

I’m a native English and Italian speaker, Spanish mother and I have lived in 9 different countries, whilst raising a family and being proactive towards the world we live in.

I have a background in education, psychology, and multilingual communication, specifically in conversational English, helping learners feel confident, fluent, and relaxed while speaking.

Whether you’re preparing for a trip, a job interview, or just want to improve your everyday communication, I can help you:

• Speak more naturally and clearly

• Expand your vocabulary and expressions

• Gain confidence in real-life situations

• Understand cultural nuances and pronunciation tips

I’ve worked with students from Italy, Spain, Brazil, and Japan – and I speak five languages myself, so I understand the challenges of learning and expressing yourself in a new tongue.

My sessions are always student-focused, informal, and adapted to your goals as each individual is unique.

I also bring my knowledge of psychology into our lessons to make sure you always feel supported and encouraged.

I offer part-time, flexible scheduling – mornings, evenings, or weekends, all online. Whether you want structured lessons or just a friendly chat in English, I’m here to help!

Looking forward to meeting you and starting your journey toward confident English conversation.
Never too old, never too wise, never too late! Everyone can meet their goals with the right mindset and support
PS THIS IS ALSO A SAFE SPACE FOR ANYONE WHO FEELS OVERWHELMED OR DOES NOT FIT IN!!!

She’s literally the best there is! She cares about you as a person and she’ll teach you more than what you signed up for: she’s incredibly intelligent and cultured. Marina will find the style of teaching that suits you best! I’ve seen her interact with different students and each and every single one of them only had the best things to say about her. You’ll be lucky to get her!!

Learning Portuguese with Marina has been a wonderful experience. She is incredibly competent, not only in Portuguese but also in teaching—it’s clear she has a deep understanding of language learning. In fact, she teaches four other languages as well, which speaks volumes about her skill, versatility, and passion for linguistics. Her classes are engaging, well-organized, and always adapted to the student's level and interests. She explains grammar clearly, encourages conversation, and uses a variety of materials (like songs, videos, and articles) to make the lessons dynamic and enjoyable. Most importantly, she creates a warm, supportive environment that makes you feel comfortable and motivated to learn. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve gained both confidence and a solid foundation in Portuguese. I highly recommend her to anyone serious about learning a new language.
