Alina Wade, English and Spanish teacher in Genoa

Structured learning. Real conversation. No classroom pressure.

A teacher who meets you where you are

Hi, I’m Alina.

I’m an English and Spanish teacher and multilingual linguist based in Genoa, Italy.

I’ve been teaching languages since 2018, working with children, teenagers and adults. Over the years, I’ve helped students improve their language skills, prepare for exams, succeed at school and — most importantly — become more confident communicators.

I believe that no two students learn in exactly the same way. That’s why I adapt my lessons to your age, level, interests and goals rather than following the same textbook programme with everyone.

My lessons combine structure with real communication. Depending on your goals, we can work on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, conversation, listening, reading or writing — while regularly adapting the programme as you progress.

A multilingual perspective

I know what it feels like to learn a language.

Learning and using several languages myself helps me understand the challenges language learners face — from grammar and pronunciation to the confidence needed to actually start speaking.
