Considering the fragility of the situation we are experiencing, school support is a fundamental piece from an academic point of view and also as support for families who need it after school. Therefore, I offer school support for elementary and high school courses. I have been working with girls and boys for more than five years in support of homework, since when I was in Italy, my country. I am able to take the class in Spanish, English or Italian according to the needs.

The priority of the class is conversation as a means of teaching. The classes are taught in lessons per module, a total of four, where the students will interact in the development of the classroom, seeking learning in the interdisciplinary context.

In module one and two, the aim is to reach the basic level through everyday conversations that are essential for learning the first words and phrases, enriching the knowledge of grammar. Arriving at modules three and four, the student will feel more confident when speaking, writing, reading and listening to the language through the topics raised.

Education must be innovative, different, and fun. Education must help students both personally and professionally.

Having a good education means having a culture and acquiring different tools and strategies of various kinds: from emotional regulation and self-defense to solving social problems. To achieve this, it's necessary to start from the basics (even the tangible) to the more complicated: reflecting and going beyond.

The object of a typical class is to help you improve your ability to use English confidently with a minimum of errors.
I focus on short reading passages, vocabulary development, grammar structures, listening exercises and oral production including role plays.
I use a variety of materials, ranging from Podcasts to Youtube to published materials with the aim of enabling you to engage with the subject interactively and review your work . For this reason homework is an essential part of my methodology.
Classes do not take place in isolation; continuity is essential, which means vocabulary and grammar are checked both at the end of class and at the beginning of the next.
