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 !

Me as a Teacher
I am a passionate teacher of university-level comparative literature and languages, I have eight years of teaching experience in universities in France and Italy - which amounts to about 1400hours. I've directed MA theses and taught in English, French and Italian.
My lessons & teaching style
I'm comitted to creating a pleasant and stress-free teaching environment, and am attentive to the level, needs and goals of every student. My teaching is based on culture-related discoveries (music, visual media, literature, essais and articles) focusing on reading comprehension, written production, pronounciation, conversation, written translation, grammar (including theoretical grammar) and telling stories on the weaving strands of etymology. I am also a wild conversationalist - from video games to fine art, from international junk food to rare cryptids! And especially books, of all shapes and sizes...

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

Another super lesson. Raluca is an excellent teacher of her native Romanian, and, very helpfully, speaks English at an absurdly high level.

I admire Raluca's ability to teach me Romanian and at the same time, to take me into the world of literature. She is such a treasure.

With the help of Raluca, i was able to make longer sentences. She would wait until when i finish the things i want to say(usually with mistakes) and show me the right way of expression. It takes patience and observation to do that.

Today we used a image to practice, and Raluca also gave me a lot of useful advice for my little speech at work.

Rluca has a calming voice. She speaks very clearly. That's one reason why i enjoy her classes so much.
