Hi, I'm Maria

I help people who speak English as a second language feel more confident in their communication.
 

You already know English but it still feels hard to speak clearly in meetings, share your ideas, or sound natural. I can help you fix that.
 

Together, we’ll make your English sound like you — clear, natural, and strong.

You Don’t Need Perfect English. You Need Impactful English.

You've worked hard to reach your current level.
You can write emails, follow meetings, maybe even give a presentation.

But when it’s time to lead the conversation — you hesitate.

This isn’t about learning more grammar or memorizing new words.

This is about learning to speak with confidence, lead with clarity, and sound like a leader — even in English.

I know how that feels.


I built my career in Italian — and I learned that language is not just words. It’s presence, connection, and trust.

And that’s what I help professionals like you build in English.

Who I help

You speak English - but something still feels off. 

Do you:

  • Repeat yourself often in meetings?

You are not alone.

And you don’t have to feel this way anymore.
