• 1) Do you speak this language fluently because of your origins or because a teacher inspired you to learn?

  I speak English fluently thanks to both my academic background and my lifelong exposure to the language. While it isn’t my first language, I was fortunate to have inspiring teachers who made me fall in love with its richness and global reach. Their passion motivated me to master English and later pass on that same enthusiasm to my own students.

• 2) Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?

  I would say William Shakespeare remains one of the most emblematic figures of English culture. His mastery of the language, creativity, and ability to express the depth of human emotion make him timeless. Even centuries later, his influence continues to shape how we think, speak, and write in English.

  One of my favorite English expressions is “It’s not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain.” It reflects the resilience and optimism often found in English-speaking cultures—a reminder that learning and growth come through challenges.

• 4) Why does speaking this language matter to you?

  English is more than a language—it’s a bridge. It connects people across continents, cultures, and disciplines. Being fluent in English has opened countless doors for me personally and professionally, and I love helping my students experience that same empowerment and confidence.

• 5) What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?

  The biggest challenge for learners is often pronunciation and idiomatic expressions, since English spelling and sound patterns can be unpredictable. The key is regular practice with authentic materials—watching movies, listening to podcasts, reading books—and speaking without fear of making mistakes. Consistency and immersion make all the difference.

• 6) Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.

  I remember preparing for a public speaking contest in English during my school years. I was so nervous that I almost withdrew—but my teacher encouraged me to step on stage. I ended up winning second place, and that experience completely changed my relationship with English. It showed me that courage and curiosity can turn fear into strength.

• 7) How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?

  Traveling to the UK was a turning point for me. Hearing native speakers in everyday contexts—at cafés, bookstores, and on the Tube—helped me grasp the rhythm, humor, and natural flow of the language. Immersing myself in that environment boosted both my confidence and fluency.

• 8) What makes you a Superprof in language?

  What sets me apart is my personalized and empathetic teaching style. I take time to understand each student’s goals, strengths, and challenges, then adapt lessons to make learning enjoyable and relevant. My aim isn’t just to teach grammar or vocabulary—it’s to build lasting confidence and curiosity in every learner. Seeing my students progress and communicate effortlessly is the most rewarding part of my work.
