My name is Raluca, I am a certified ESL teacher from Canada with 6 years of experience working both in the classroom and online. I've been teaching students of all ages and levels, from beginning to advanced. I taught English in Turkey, Spain, and Romania. Since September 2014, I have been living and working in Italy.
In my lessons, you won’t memorize long lists of vocabulary and verbs.
Instead, you and I will discuss interesting topics and practice language which you actually want to use.
Moreover, I have experience preparing students for Cambridge exams from KET up to C1 and helping students with professional needs such as presentations and technical vocabulary thanks to my Master's Degree in Geology and Geophysics and work experience in the oil and gas industry.

I have an excellent track record in improving students’ fluency and confidence in using English in real-life situations.
I guarantee that after one of my lessons, you will already feel more comfortable speaking in English.

For these reasons, I hope to see you in the classroom.

For over 15 years, I have been helping students and professionals move from understanding English to speaking English with ease, naturalness and confidence.

You understand English... but you struggle with speaking it? That's normal — the problem often comes from the method, not from you.

With a clear and structured approach combined with real-world practice, you progress quickly and finally use English in concrete situations.

▸ MY APPROACH
I combine structured grammar and real conversation so you can speak, think, and react directly in English. You no longer have to choose between understanding and speaking—you do both.

▸ TWO TYPES OF STUDENTS
I primarily work with two types of clients:

• Structured progression
You build a solid foundation (grammar, vocabulary, structure) for work, studies or everyday life.

• Fluidity and ease
You already have a certain level but you want to speak more naturally, gain confidence and be comfortable in real-life situations.

For example: interviews, meetings, presentations, exchanges with international teams.

▸ PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH
With a background in American business school and experience in a professional environment, I help you communicate effectively in English in real-life contexts.

▸ OBJECTIVE
Speak with confidence, fluency, and precision.

If you are serious about your progress and want concrete results, let's begin.
