Welcome! In our trial lesson, we’ll get to know each other and understand your frustrations, concerns, or goals with English and build a plan to help you speak or understand English confidently, from a native English speaker from the US.

This lesson is perfect if you want to speak English naturally, confidently, and without stress. Whether you’re shy, nervous, or simply need more real conversation practice, I guide you step-by-step using a friendly, relaxed style. We focus on REAL English - the way native speakers talk every day.

We talk about daily life, travel, culture, hobbies, news, or anything you enjoy. I gently correct your mistakes, teach new phrases, improve your pronunciation, and help you speak with more rhythm and confidence. Every lesson feels like talking to a friend, but with real learning and real progress.

You’ll learn:
• Common expressions & natural phrases
• Phrasal verbs used in daily life
• Fast English patterns (“gonna, wanna, lemme”)
• Accent tips (mouth position, stress, rhythm)
• How to sound clearer and more confident
• How to think in English instead of translating

My method:
In many lessons, we use short articles that I create myself around useful and enjoyable topics like travel, culture, daily life, slang, expressions, phrasal verbs, and real American speech, culture, etc. These articles are easy to read but packed with natural phrases. After reading, we use guided discussion prompts to help you speak clearly, confidently, and spontaneously.

If you’re preparing for travel, we can practice airports, restaurants, hotels, conversations, emergencies, and cultural differences. I’ve lived in Italy, Argentina, and the U.S., so I understand how language and culture interact. If you enjoy global topics, we can even explore cultural differences using Hofstede’s dimensions - perfect for international discussion. 

This lesson is relaxed, friendly, and perfect for beginners to intermediate students who just want to speak without fear and enjoy the process.

General American English - Speak with Confidence

This lesson is designed specifically for Italian speakers who want to speak clearer, faster, and more natural English. Because I lived in Italy, Rome and Codogno specifically, and speak Italian (B2), I fully understand the typical challenges Italians face - pronunciation, verb tenses, intonation, prepositions, and the “Italian rhythm” that often transfers into English. Here, we fix those problems one by one.

What we work on:
• Pronunciation of difficult sounds: TH, short vowels, R, H, word stress, ED-endings
• Minimal Pairs and understanding the difference between vowel sounds like E, I
• Grammar Italians struggle with: present perfect, modal verbs, phrasal verbs, articles, prepositions
• Fast English: linking words, reductions (“gonna, wanna, gotta”)
• Speaking with confidence without translating from Italian

Common Mistakes we will work on and correct:
• Overusing the present tense
• Translating word-for-word (“make a photo,” “I have 20 years”)
• Trouble with silent letters (walk, talk, could, should)
• Difficulty hearing reduced sounds in fast English

I'll give you clear explanations in English or Italian when needed, and provide practice exercises, recordings, PDF materials, and pronunciation drills.

Perfect for: A1–B2 Italian learners who want fast progress, better pronunciation, and more natural conversation. 

You will speak more confidently, understand native speakers better, and finally feel comfortable using real English.

Speak Real English: Phrasal Verbs, Expressions, Slang & Fast Natural Speech

In a fast-paced work environment, you need to get your point across quickly and effectively. This lesson focuses on the mechanics of a clear American accent combined with the communication systems used by top professionals to lead with authority.

The American Accent & Rhythm: We master the mechanical sounds (the American R, Flap T, and vowel reductions) and the "Stress-Timed" rhythm of US speech. This ensures you are never asked to repeat yourself in a meeting.

Strategic Communication Methods: We practice the "Sandwich Method" for delivering difficult feedback, the "BLUF" system (Bottom Line Up Front) for emails, and the art of "Hedging" to maintain diplomacy.

Action Verbs & Phrasal Verbs: We replace weak language with high-impact "Power Verbs" (spearheading, leveraging, optimizing) and the essential business phrasal verbs (circle back, touch base, run by) that native speakers use daily.

Cultural Context (Low-Context Logic): I teach you how to bridge the gap between European/Latin business styles and the direct, time-sensitive culture of American corporate environments.

Industry Simulations: We use role-plays based on your actual job.

The System: 
The Speech Audit: We identify the specific sounds and patterns holding back your clarity.

The Drill & Execute Flow: 20 minutes of pronunciation mechanics followed by 40 minutes of high-stakes business role-play.

The "Meeting Minutes" Feedback: After every session, you receive a professional feedback document containing your pronunciation "corrections" and strategic communication notes.
