*Do you sing and/or compose songs in English?
*Do you realize that the way of writing/singing lyrics in English is not the same as in French? in English is not the same as in your language?
*Do you realize that even if an Int'l audience won't understand all the lyrics in *English that respecting the lyrics, the way you write them and sing them is just as important as if you were singing them in French beyond "it sounds good in English, and who cares what it means"?
*If you're a singer, would you like to pronounce English sounds better and master the phrasing of an English song better?
Then you have found the support and the answer to your quest to improve as a singer and/or lyric poet for your compositions.

Are you planning a trip to France? Do you need some practical phase to get around airports, hotels, restaurants, beaches, ski resorts? Do you need help understanding cultural differences and customs? Would you like to sound less anglosaxon as to avoid the snooty, confused looks? Would you like some great places to visit that are less known than typical travel packages?
Well, I'm the one stop shop. I fell in love with France when I did junior high exchange, majored in French in College, and I've been living here for over 20 years. Here, I'm an English teacher but since I've lived here I'm fluent in French, and in the French ;).
- I can guide you with the language and grammar with some basic, useful vocabulary and phrases.
- We'll practice asking questions which is vital for travelling and life in general.
-I'll give you some pronunciation tips.
-We'll do some role plays and listening comprehension.
-I could also make some good suggestions for off the beaten track places to see and visit.

No matter what level, or what age, learning a language, especially English is going to serve you. My approach to teaching is interactive and I'd like to stress that what you get out of it, so improving, will depend on your implication. Your effort and positivity will pay off in the long run. I've even written 3 ebook workbooks to accompany you, if you'd like. I adapt to your needs, but I've found that the biggest lack is with the tenses and vocabulary. Listening comp and pronunciation are a closed second (and they're connected:) As you actively apply what you learn, you'll grow in confidence while having fun.
I can also help with your CV, cover letters, interviews in English, or presentations.

Hello!

I’m Elena, I’m Italian and I’m an opera singer, currently actively performing in the contemporary field :)
On top of my artistic career, which is now 20+ years old, I have 10 years of solid everyday experience in the musical teaching field, with particular regards for online teaching.
My specialties are: teaching opera voice and kids’ vocality. For both of these, any level, even absolute beginner is 100% welcome!

I’ve been training children and teens ever since I graduated from my position at La Scala children choir at 18 years old. I love working with kids, and it warms my heart to think of how many little faces I have already had the privilege of meeting thanks to this career. I have helped so many access to the children choirs of their respective cities, and with so many many others I have simply participated in their musical learning journey, which makes me equally proud and happy.

Teaching adults is a completely different matter, of course, but it’s probably even more thrilling to me because it allows me to spend the day navigating the fascinating routes of lyrical singing technique. I know how opera studies can be confusing - to say the least; I try my best to represent a safe place for anybody who wants to explore this ancient form of art, as well as to clarify its key points and guide my students to building a correct repertoire.

I give lessons for any kind of purpose:
- learning music
- improving musicality
- preparing an audition
- finding our own voice
- overcoming insecurity

Everybody is different, so everybody has their own path to go through; I cater my lessons to the pupil’s needs, and even if the method is always classical, I make sure that the hour of lesson is a fun moment as well as a learning experience.
Music is life and life is fun!

If what you have read interests you, I’m here to answer all your questions, so don’t be afraid: write me and I’ll see how I can help you!

During the lesson, we will take the time to get to know each other better, assess levels and goals, and start to work on them already.

I can’t wait to meet you!

Every kid has ideas. Most never do anything with them.
This course changes that.

I believe inside every kid is an entrepreneur. Not necessarily someone who wants to be "CEO" but someone capable of seeing a problem, imagining a solution, and making it real.

In this course, your child will:
✓ Develop a real business idea: something they actually care about, not an abstract project
✓ Understand the market: Who needs this? Why? Who else offers it? Why would theirs be better?
✓ Create a simple business plan: the version that actually works, not 50 pages of jargon
✓ Design a brand: logo, name, story. Why their business exists (not just to make money)
✓ Build and test their idea: even at small scale, they'll see if people actually want what they created
✓ Learn to lead a team: we work in groups, so they'll experience real collaboration
✓ Use technology smartly: real tools to grow a business
✓ Get feedback from real entrepreneurs: not just from me, but from people building things right now

Why this is different:
Most "entrepreneurship courses for kids" teach theory. Here we build something real.
Your child won't just learn about entrepreneurship. They'll experience it: having an idea, developing it, sharing it, and getting genuine feedback.

Some will have a business. Others will discover it's not for them. Both are successes because they learned something real about themselves.

What they take home:
A complete business plan. A brand they designed. A presentation they delivered. And most importantly: the conviction that their ideas matter and they can make them real.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Group and individual work, flexible

For kids with big ideas and adults who want to nurture them.

I love working with kids, and it warms my heart to think of how many little faces I have already had the privilege of meeting thanks to this career. I have helped so many access to the children choirs of their respective cities, and with so many many others I have simply participated in their musical learning journey, which makes me equally proud and happy.

Teaching adults is a completely different matter, of course, but it’s probably even more thrilling to me because it allows me to spend the day navigating the fascinating routes of lyrical singing technique. I know how opera studies can be confusing - to say the least; I try my best to represent a safe place for anybody who wants to explore this ancient form of art, as well as to clarify its key points and guide my students to building a correct repertoire.

I give lessons for any kind of purpose:
- learning music
- improving musicality
- preparing an audition
- finding our own voice
- overcoming insecurity

Everybody is different, so everybody has their own path to go through; I cater my lessons to the pupil’s needs, and even if the method is always classical, I make sure that the hour of lesson is a fun moment as well as a learning experience.
Music is life and life is fun!

If what you have read interests you, I’m here to answer all your questions, so don’t be afraid: write me and I’ll see how I can help you!

During the lesson, we will take the time to get to know each other better, assess levels and goals, and start to work on them already.

I can’t wait to meet you!

Every kid has ideas. Most never do anything with them.
This course changes that.

I believe inside every kid is an entrepreneur. Not necessarily someone who wants to be "CEO" but someone capable of seeing a problem, imagining a solution, and making it real.

In this course, your child will:
✓ Develop a real business idea: something they actually care about, not an abstract project
✓ Understand the market: Who needs this? Why? Who else offers it? Why would theirs be better?
✓ Create a simple business plan: the version that actually works, not 50 pages of jargon
✓ Design a brand: logo, name, story. Why their business exists (not just to make money)
✓ Build and test their idea: even at small scale, they'll see if people actually want what they created
✓ Learn to lead a team: we work in groups, so they'll experience real collaboration
✓ Use technology smartly: real tools to grow a business
✓ Get feedback from real entrepreneurs: not just from me, but from people building things right now

Why this is different:
Most "entrepreneurship courses for kids" teach theory. Here we build something real.
Your child won't just learn about entrepreneurship. They'll experience it: having an idea, developing it, sharing it, and getting genuine feedback.

Some will have a business. Others will discover it's not for them. Both are successes because they learned something real about themselves.

What they take home:
A complete business plan. A brand they designed. A presentation they delivered. And most importantly: the conviction that their ideas matter and they can make them real.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Group and individual work, flexible

For kids with big ideas and adults who want to nurture them.
