Do I need to be a beginner to start?
Not at all. I work with adults at every level — from complete beginners (A1) to advanced speakers (C1). Lessons are shaped around your current level and your goals.
Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you might want to know before your first lesson. If your question isn't here, just send me a message.
Are lessons online or in person?
Both. Most students prefer online lessons via Google Meet, which means you can learn from anywhere. If you're near Lake Como, Italy, we can also meet in person at a quiet spot by the lake.
How much does a lesson cost?
A 20-minute trial conversation is completely free. After that, General English lessons are €22/hour and Business English lessons are €24.50/hour. Packs: 4 lessons for €78 (valid for 1 month) or 8 lessons for €136 (valid for 2 months). You can use them for General or Business English. Packs are activated from your first lesson date.
What is the difference between General and Business English?
General English focuses on everyday communication — conversations, travel, films, reading. Business English is tailored to your work: meetings, emails, presentations, interviews and professional confidence.
Can I book a free trial?
Yes. The trial is a relaxed 20-minute chat on Google Meet. We'll talk about your goals, I'll assess your level, and we'll see if we're a good fit. No pressure, no payment.
How do I pay?
Payments are made via bank transfer or PayPal before each lesson. For monthly packages, payment is due at the start of the month.
What if I need to cancel a lesson?
Cancellations: Life happens. If you let me know at least 24 hours in advance, we'll reschedule with no problem. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice are charged.
Do you prepare students for job interviews?
Absolutely. I've helped professionals prepare for interviews in English, from structuring answers to practising tough questions. It's one of my favourite things to teach.
How long until I see progress?
Most students feel more confident within 4-6 lessons. Real progress depends on how often we meet and how much you practise between sessions, but you'll notice the difference in how you feel speaking — not just in test scores.
Do you teach children or teenagers?
I specialise in adults. My lessons are designed for mature learners who want practical, personalised English for life or work.
