Simona

Hello! I'm Simona. I'm an interior architect by profession and by passion. My days are filled with spaces that take shape and tell stories through volumes, colors, and textures. I'm constantly moving between Cagliari and London. When I'm not immersed in a world of lines and volumes, as an incurable curious person, I devour books, write messy stories, strum the piano, and knit "creations." I can't resist a blank canvas, an empty page, or a yarn waiting to be worked. Anything created from nothing captivates me without a moment's hesitation. And then, there is Jive dance! I love it! Teaching has always been one of my greatest sources of satisfaction. During my many years of teaching design, I had the privilege of seeing my students' eyes light up in their "eureka" moments. Now I bring that same energy to language lessons, helping professionals and casual learners master English or Italian in any situation, with all those cultural nuances that you won't find in books. Naturally talkative and very curious, every topic is welcome. From a beginner level to chatting to keep your English or Italian fresh and ready to use! We've all taken a foreign language class at some point in our lives, and let's be honest, almost none of us have a fond memory of it or remember what we learned. From my experience, the best way to learn a new language is to fully immerse yourself in a place where it's spoken 24/7. That's how you really pick up all the wonderful nuances that go far beyond grammar rules. I've moved abroad twice, and in my lessons, I try to pass on the same learning process that helped me. I didn't just learn the language; I absorbed local expressions, cultural quirks, and all those unspoken things that you can't find in a textbook. We'll talk about anything and everything. Two things I absolutely can't teach without are enthusiasm and fun! Fun, because we were bored enough in school, and enthusiasm because but when you're excited to learn, the whole process becomes so much easier! My students come from all walks of life—there's no label for age, background, or profession.
