Salut ! I’m Raluca—a French, English and Romanian teacher with a Ph.D. in comparative literature and 8 years of university-level experience. Born in Romania (Iași), I spent 15 years in France (Paris and elsewhere) and now live in Italy (Bari), so I teach with a quadrilingual flair (french, romanian, italian, english). My specialty ? Making language learning vibrant through poetry, etymology, and cultural deep-dives—from art to gaming. Whether you need grammar polish or lively conversation, you are welcome here. Je suis naturalisée française et je serais très heureuse de vous faire apprendre cette merveilleuse langue - e abito in Italia quindi posso anche parlarvi italiano. Bine ați venit !

I shared a part of a scene from my novel with Raluca. Her insights were both precise and profound. She was able to understand my intentions as a writer without needing me to explain further, which really impressed me.
What surprised me the most was her ability to connect my writing with other works in literary history. This not only broadened my perspective, but also gave me valuable references to learn from and emulate.
The lesson was very relaxed and completely pressure-free. Thank you so much!

Je travaille avec Raluca depuis quelque temps et je suis ravi chaque fois à nouveau. Elle est toujours bien préparée et grâce à elle j'ai fait des progrès en ce qui concerne ma fluidité en parlant et compréhension de textes littéraires. C'est toujours un grand plaisir. Merci
