I have been studying languages since my highschool. After five years of studying foreign languages (i.e., English, Spanish, German) I tried to connect this passion with a degree that would have allowed me to speak different languages and challenge myself on the professional side. I started my bachelor's degree in International Relations, during which I did a year-long Erasmus in Germany, an experience which strengthened my confidence in English, improved my bits of German knowledge, and ultimately allowed me to connect with people, coming from all around the world, on a single solid base: language. Successively I started my Master's degree, in which I am currently enrolled, in Area and Global Studies for International Cooperation. It is a program entirely taught in English that requires a second spoken language due to the possibility of Area specialization. By starting this degree, speaking a second language became the basis of my everyday life and consolidated it as the normality.

What I am most looking for when I tutor languages is that my student(s) ultimately gets what it's most suitable for him/her in the learning process. Acknowledging that everybody has different learning tools and times, the first classes are meant for me to assess the starting point and then realize what's best for you, and what is the easiest way to reach our goal. Hence, apart from my own learning tools which may refer to the basics of language-teaching, so grammar, vocabulary, and listening materials, every student has the right to co-construct his/her own learning path according to different necessities.
