As a multilingual and experienced language tutor, my teaching approach is highly learner-oriented, flexible, and culturally rich. I believe that effective language learning goes beyond grammar and vocabulary—it involves understanding the culture, context, and real-life communication styles of native speakers. That’s why I tailor each lesson to the learner’s goals, interests, and learning pace, whether they are complete beginners or looking to refine their fluency.

I design my classes to be interactive and practical, using real-world materials such as dialogues, videos, articles, and role-plays. This helps students engage with the language as it is used in everyday situations. I place strong emphasis on speaking and listening from the start, building confidence in communication through guided conversation, pronunciation practice, and situational role-plays.

Given my fluency in English, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, and Sicilian, I am able to draw useful comparisons across languages to help learners overcome difficulties and connect new knowledge with what they already know. My TEFL certification also equips me with methodologies to teach grammar and vocabulary in a clear, accessible way.

Teaching online, I make full use of digital tools like SharePoint, PowerPoint, and Teams to create engaging and well-structured lessons. I also provide supportive feedback and encourage learners to be active participants in their own progress.

Overall, my goal is to create a positive, inclusive, and motivating learning environment where students not only learn a language, but also grow in confidence and cultural awareness.
