She is an 18-year-old girl who attends a language high school and whose native language is Italian and Spanish.
I have always had a great aptitude for languages, which has also yielded results in languages that don't sound natural in my first language, such as French and English.
The ragazzi and ragazze are a great aspiration which also passes through an adolescent, who thinks he is able to look at the subject in a more interactive way and not so frontal and monotonous.

German – Since I'm a native German speaker and just graduated from high school in Germany, I believe I'm qualified to teach German to children. This would be done either at the client's home or via video chat.

English- As I just mentioned i finished my German High school diploma a few months ago. I truly believe I can teach English to children and adults as I helped many of my classmates get through their final English exams.

Learning a language should feel exciting, motivating, and personal — not stressful.
In this class, you’ll learn English or Italian in a simple, friendly, and interactive way. Together, we will focus on real communication, useful vocabulary, pronunciation, and conversation based on your goals.

Whether you’re a beginner who wants strong foundations, a student preparing for school exams, or someone who wants to improve speaking skills for travel or work, this course adapts to you.

Using fun activities, personalized exercises, role-plays, and everyday topics, you will gain confidence and improve step by step. My goal is to make learning enjoyable, clear, and rewarding — because progress feels amazing when the lesson fits your needs.

By the end of the course, you will feel more confident speaking, writing, and understanding the language in real-life situations.
