A multilingual tutor with experience in language teaching offers private Italian, Spanish and English lessons
Born and raised in Switzerland to a Spanish mother and an Italian father, I speak four languages fluently (IT, ES, EN, F). Living in a multicultural environment comes naturally to me, and I have always loved travelling and discovering new languages and cultures. This passion led me to live in Australia for ten years, where I was able to improve my English.
I obtained the EUROLTA certificate for teaching languages to adults and I taught Italian, Spanish and English at a private school in Switzerland.
For fifteen years I have been working on European mobility projects (Erasmus+ and Eurodyssée), organising stays abroad for young graduates and interacting in several languages with partners around the world.
Two years ago, I moved to Spain to reconnect with my Andalusian roots and enjoy the quality of life this place has to offer. Given my passion and extensive experience with languages, I felt the desire to devote myself to translating and teaching the languages I love so much. I firmly believe that, nowadays, knowing languages is a valuable asset for travelling, meeting and interacting with people from other countries and cultures. From personal experience, learning a foreign language is a very enriching experience, both personally and professionally. For this reason, I want to share my language skills so that others too can enjoy this wonderful and unique experience.
