Serenella Ferraro

Hello! My name is Serenella, and l am a certified English teacher with a passion for helping adults gain confidence and fluency in English.
Before becoming a teacher, I spent many years working in international business as an Account Manager (I lived, studied and worked in English speaking countries for 19 years), collaborating with clients and senior executives from different countries and cultures. This experience allows me to offer practical, real-world English for professional communication, meetings, presentations, negotiations, and everyday workplace interactions.
Today, I teach English to adult learners of different levels and backgrounds. My lessons are engaging, supportive, and tailored to each student's goals, whether they want to improve their conversation skills, prepare for work opportunities, travel confidently, or develop their Business English.
1 am also a Life Coach, which has helped me develop strong listening skills, patience, empathy, and the ability to create a comfortable learning environment where students feel encouraged to speak and make progress without fear of mistakes.
Education is incredibly rewarding for me because I love seeing students grow in confidence and achieve goals
they once thought were out of reach.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, personal development, travelling, volunteering, and learning about different cultures. I believe that language learning is not only about grammar and vocabulary but also about connecting with people and discovering new perspectives. I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your English goals!
I have two years teaching experience, however my teaching approach combines professional English language instruction with extensive real-world business experience. I work primarily with adult learners, helping them improve their fluency, confidence, and communication skills for both personal and professional purposes.
I am a certified English teacher and a qualified Life Coach. My background in coaching enables me to create a supportive, student-focused learning environment where learners feel comfortable speaking, making mistakes, and developing their skills at their own pace.
Before transitioning into education, I spent several years working as an International Account Manager in global industries, communicating daily with clients, suppliers, and senior executives from different countries. This experience gives me unique insight into the language, cultural awareness, and communication strategies required in international business environments.
My areas of expertise include:
• General English for adults (A1-C1)
• Business English
• Professional communication
• Meetings and presentations
• Negotiation and client communication
• Interview preparation
• Conversation and fluency development
• Pronunciation improvement
• Cross-cultural communication
• exams preparation
My teaching methodology is based on the Communicative Approach, which prioritizes active speaking, practical language use, and meaningtul interaction. Lessons are tailored to each student's goals, interests, learning style, and professional needs. I integrate authentic materials, role plays, real-life scenarios, guided conversation, vocabulary expansion, and targeted grammar practice to ensure steady progress and immediate applicability.
I believe that successful language learning is not only about mastering grammar and vocabulary but also about building confidence and developing the ability to communicate naturally and effectively in real-life situations. My goal is to help students become independent, confident English speakers who can use the language successfully in their daily lives, careers, and international interactions.
