How I teach:

- Your field, not a textbook: Bring the presentation you’re rehearsing or the interview you’re nervous about. That’s our lesson material, so the vocabulary and tone you pick up are the ones you’ll use at work or at school
- We take it apart, then you rebuild it: We look at why a strong pitch, answer or presentation works: how it opens, what it cuts, where it lands. Then you say it or write it yourself, and I give you feedback on the spot
- Speaking under real pressure: Pitching to international coworkers and clients, class presentations, Erasmus and job interviews. I interrupt, ask follow-ups and notice when you freeze. We record it so you can hear your own pauses and filler words. Slightly painful at first, very useful after
- Already use AI for your English? Good. Bring me what it can’t fix: your speaking under pressure, and your own voice. I’ll help you edit AI drafts so they sound like you
- IELTS prep follows the same method: A diagnostic first, then timed practice with feedback on every part of the test

Who it’s for:

- Adults 18+, intermediate to advanced
- Professionals in Milan who speak, present, negotiate and network in English
- University students and applicants: English-taught degrees, class discussion, thesis defense, personal statements, Erasmus interviews
- Anyone preparing for IELTS, TOEFL or a similar exam
