Over Silvia
Hi, I’m Silvia! I was born in Slovakia, then my family moved to Canada when I was 2 years old.
English is not the first language I started learning — nor the second. The first kindergarten I went to had 30 kids, and 25 of them were Chinese. Can you guess what language I started picking up? But of course, my parents moved me to another kindergarten as soon as they realized. And that's how I narrowly avoided becoming a Slovak-born Canadian who spoke fluent Chinese.
Instead, English became my native language. I do everything in English — work, play, study, dream, think. But I still had early exposure to several other languages — Slovak spoken at home, and French taught at school. These beginnings sparked my fascination (read: obsession?) with languages.
And so I went to university for translation. Spurred by both passion and indecision (and perhaps a teensy bit of insanity), I enrolled in every single foreign language course they offered, from Portuguese to Japanese. I did three internships in translation and English teaching, in Barcelona, Bremen, and Valencia. I really found myself in the work, and thus began my career as a freelancer.
I did my final semester in Bologna, Italy. Having experienced almost 20 Canadian winters with -30 degree weather and 2-meter high snow banks, I wasn’t so eager to add one more to the tally. So after I graduated I decided to stick around in Europe a bit longer, and ended up staying. Now I’m based in Bratislava, and I work full-time as a freelance online English teacher, translator, editor, and copywriter.
That’s enough about me for now — if you’d like to get to know me more, just send me a message and I’d be happy to arrange your first lesson!
►MORE ABOUT MY TEACHING MINDSET
I would call my mindset towards languages progressive. We can prescribe the rules of a language, but at the end of the day, we must also observe it — if a textbook tells you that something is incorrect, but the entire North American continent uses it, can we really call it “wrong”?
I also think nobody should be embarrassed of making mistakes in a foreign language (or even their own!). Of course we should strive to improve, but the end goal is not perfection — it’s communication. It would be a shame to miss out on building bonds and sharing laughs from fear of conjugating wrong.
To that end, I do correct my students, as that’s partially what I’m there for! But we will always maintain a positive and relaxed atmosphere that welcomes mistakes as a tool for learning. I myself make mistakes in every language I speak (just wait to hear me speak yours and you’ll see! ;) )
►EDUCATION
✧ Bachelor’s degree in Translation from the University of Ottawa with 3 practicums (2013-2018)
✧ Editing Certificate from Simon Fraser University (2019-2020)
I am very passionate about my work, and that’s why I love taking courses to learn from experts and continue developing my skills. I’ve completed lots of courses and certificates in teaching English with different focuses. This lets me see different methods for approaching English and gives me an idea of the different kinds of lessons, exercises, and learning styles to choose the best one for each student.

►HOW I STARTED TEACHING
My career in teaching started back in high school in Canada. In my senior years, and later in university, I gave private lessons to children and teenagers (for English, French, Math, and playing the piano).
During university, I did three internships related to languages. The last one was in Valencia, where I gave weekly Business English lessons to 15 senior employees in a multinational eCommerce company.
I started giving private online English lessons in my third year of university. When I graduated in 2018, I started working full-time as a freelance English teacher, translator, editor, and copywriter.
In 2019, I also started teaching with Berlitz, one of the top language academies in the world, with more than 500 centers across 70 countries.
►SUMMARY OF MY EXPERIENCE
✧ 5+ years of experience giving private lessons in American English online
✧ 5000+ hours of private lessons in American English online
✧ Communicating with students in Spanish, French, Italian, Slovak, German, Russian, and a bit in Portuguese and Chinese (and English of course)
✧ Teaching students of age 9-71
✧ Teaching all levels, from total beginner to advanced speakers who want to perfect their English
✧ Preparing personalized lesson plans
✧ Developing my own lesson materials and exercises
✧ Experience with different teaching methods through participating in more than 10 language courses in Canada, Spain, Italy, Germany, and online

►MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
My lessons are all based on one simple premise: you become good at what you practice.
If you only practice doing grammar exercises, then you’ll become good at doing grammar exercises! And if you practice speaking English a lot, then you’ll become great at speaking English.
This is where a lot of textbooks, courses, and teachers fall short. They focus too much on exercises that do improve your English, but not in the way you want. (It’s like doing abdominal exercises and expecting your cardio to improve!) Of course, exercises are useful to learn the components of language. But they must be used in the context of your goal.
I've learned this from personal experience learning languages, and I plan my English lessons with this in mind. I put a lot of effort into getting to know each student’s goals, from our talk in the first lesson to getting regular feedback. We stay on track and always keep moving towards your goals.
►LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION
I do my classes as much as possible in English, to maximize your practice with the language. However, if needed, I can also communicate in Spanish, Italian, French, Slovak, German, Russian, and a bit in Portuguese and Chinese.
I have personally taken more than 10 courses and long-term private lessons in these languages. This has given me first-hand experience with various methods and exercises. I know what works and what doesn’t work, and I can find the best ways to help you overcome your difficulties.
Thanks to my knowledge of these languages, I also understand the reason behind many typical mistakes that people of different linguistic backgrounds make. I can explain them with better insight, and find tricks to help you fix them.
►CLASS MATERIALS
I will provide you with all the materials you will need for our classes. (Except if you wish to work with a textbook, in which case you will need to buy a copy of it).
I use material from different real life and academic sources, but I have also made a lot of my own material, based on my experience. This variety will let us pick the best resources for your goals.
With each class, you will receive a document with notes on what we have learned, your mistakes and my corrections. You can access and review these documents anytime from any device.
If you’d like to have homework to study outside of class, I can give you exercises and digital tools. These can include reading, listening, grammar, vocabulary, writing, videos, and more.
►MY LESSONS IN 10 PRINCIPLES
I am passionate about my work and I always aim to have a positive impact on my students. My lessons are based on the 10 principles below.
✧(1) - We will focus on your objectives and needs. I don’t waste time with exercises or topics that aren’t useful for you. You’ll move towards your goals with every lesson.
✧(2) - You will gain fluency in speaking. The biggest benefit of one-on-one lessons is the possibility for us to interact throughout the whole lesson! You’ll be able to take full advantage of this.
✧(3) - You will gain confidence in your weakest skills. Whatever they are, I fit them into your lessons to make sure you build a strong overall level.
✧(4) - You will learn not just “textbook English”, but also colloquial phrases, words, and expressions that native speakers use in real life. You’ll be able to speak in a natural way.
✧(5) - I give intuitive explanations you'll easily understand. I know several other languages and I can explain English vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and typical mistakes from your perspective.
✧(6) - You will make visible and steady progress. My lessons are not separate units on random topics, but they build on each other. Over time and with your hard work, you’ll see great improvement!
✧(7) - You will be able to apply everything you learn in real life. I teach grammar and vocabulary in context so you know how and when to use it in conversation.
✧(8) - You will maintain your English through time. We will keep using what you learn and review from different angles. You won’t be learning new things just to forget them the next week.
✧(9) - Our lessons will be well adapted to the online medium. I use interactive digital tools to not only eliminate the barriers of learning online, but take full advantage of them.
✧(10) - We will have fun! :-) I believe learning a language takes effort, but should still be a fun experience. I do everything I can to make a positive atmosphere so you look forward to our lessons.
►TYPES OF LESSONS
I specialize in teaching English at the advanced level. But I also offer classes for the basic and intermediate level. I have experience with a wide variety of lesson types and goals:
~ Lacking confidence or practice in speaking English?
✦ CONVERSATION LESSONS ✦
Build your fluency and confidence in conversation. We practice speaking English naturally. I correct your mistakes and show you the most natural ways to express something. We learn vocabulary and grammar only by correcting mistakes, learning words you didn’t know, and answering your questions.
(1) - We speak freely, as if we were having a coffee together and talking about life.
(2) - We discuss topics that I prepare (this may include some relevant grammar / vocabulary).
(3) - We discuss articles, videos, podcasts, etc. that were given previously as homework.
~ Want to impress your colleagues and get ahead at work?
✦ BUSINESS ENGLISH LESSONS ✦
Learn to speak English with confidence in work situations relevant to you. These can include phone calls, meetings, making requests, apologizing, clarifying information, handling complaints, agreeing, disagreeing, suggesting new ideas, negotiating, etc. We do simulations for both oral and written scenarios and cover the necessary vocabulary and grammar to handle them comfortably. Of course, we also work on pronunciation, formality, and expressions of politeness to make sure you make a positive impression. (Search for “Business English” to find my separate page with more details.)
~ Preparing for a stay in an English speaking country?
✦ LESSONS FOR TRAVEL OR IMMIGRATION ✦
Learn to confidently manage situations that you’ll find yourself in abroad. These could include shopping in a store, visiting the doctor, making plans with someone, accepting or rejecting an invitation, getting to know someone, describing your weekend, asking for directions, dealing with problems, etc. We cover the grammar and vocabulary necessary for you to communicate easily in these scenarios. We practice them through simulations in both dialogues and written communication, so that you know how to handle each scenario with confidence.
~ Starting a degree taught in English soon?
✦ LESSONS FOR THE ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT ✦
Prepare yourself for success in an English academic environment. We focus on academic vocabulary and grammar that will help you understand lectures, read research papers, make presentations, and write essays. Naturally this includes all four skills (reading, listening, speaking, writing), with particular emphasis on speaking and writing. We also compare ways to say something in formal, casual, written, and oral contexts. You’ll understand the subtle differences in advanced language and know how to express yourself accurately in each kind of situation.
~ Feeling lost and anxious about your English exam?
✦ ENGLISH EXAM PREPARATION LESSONS ✦
Increase your chances of getting a high score on your IELTS, Cambridge, or TOEFL exam. In these lessons, we focus on speaking simulations, answering your questions, improving your weaknesses, and practicing strategies to easily boost your score. I have taken 12+ courses and certifications by past IELTS examiners to prepare students for English exams. (Search for “IELTS” or “TOEFL” to see my separate pages with more details).
~ Struggling to put sentences together?
✦ GRAMMAR IN CONTEXT LESSONS ✦
Become a master of using grammar to express yourself flexibly, accurately, and naturally. Grammar always requires looking at theory, but you don’t need a teacher to sit and watch you do grammar exercises — so I give them to you to do in your free time. This way we can maximize our time in class. We go over any questions, then we practice situations where the grammar is necessary or useful, turning the theory into skills. You’ll become proficient at using the grammar in a communicative context, and recognize when you need to use it.
~ Got lots to say, but lacking the words?
✦ VOCABULARY IN CONTEXT LESSONS ✦
Expand your vocabulary to easily express your ideas. Vocabulary can be taught through conversation lessons. Or, we can choose topics relevant to you and learn words to help you talk about them. I can give you sets of expressions to study before class, as well as exercises to help review them in your free time. I also provide a free digital tool which can help you easily practice the words from any device. We focus heavily on discussion, making sure you know how to use the words flexibly, accurately, and naturally in conversation.
~ Feeling insecure because people struggle to understand you?
✦ PRONUNCIATION LESSONS ✦
Sound more like a native speaker and make it effortless for others to speak with you. We look at the components of good pronunciation like word stress, linked sounds, rhythm, intonation, and the sounds of the letters. There are two starting approaches: (1) We read articles together out loud and I correct you, or (2) we break down the components of good pronunciation and practice them one by one. You’ll gain confidence and skill in expressing yourself.
~ Want to boost your English overall?
✦ A MIX OF EVERYTHING ✦
You’ll like this type of lesson if you don’t have any particular objective at the moment, but you want to improve your English for your own self-development and future opportunities. We include a balanced mix of vocabulary, grammar, conversation, reading, writing, and listening, with particular attention to your weaknesses. These lessons help you reach an overall strong level.

Beoordelingen

Perfect! Silvia is absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond in every possible way. She came prepared for every session, wrote custom documents outside of our lessons, and gave me detailed feedback on my pronunciation and spoken English. While I was speaking, she would actively take notes to show me exactly where and how I could improve. On top of that, she’s easy to talk to, genuinely kind, and clearly passionate about helping her students succeed. I’m truly impressed by the amount of work and care she put into helping me. Highly, highly recommended! Thanks to her, I got the top grade on my English oral exam.

Perfect! Sylvia is a great teacher. She’s very nice and easy to talk to. She understood my needs right away and made a plan for me to achieve my goals. She is helping me to get a better confidence to speak English and already after the first lesson I felt more comfortable in situations where I had to speak English. Sylvia is also very structured, prepared and skilled. I’m very happy I found her and I recommend her to anyone looking for a great language teacher.
Perfect! I am really happy with my English classes with Silvia and I sincerely recommend her as English
teacher.
Her classes are carefully prepared in advance and she does a thorough job, allowing her students to
learn in excellent conditions with great tools. There is always a positive atmosphere as she always
notes when I make improvements. She also gives me coherent tips and detailed explanations to
improve my weaknesses in English.
Furthermore, she is really attentive to my objectives. She was able to easily adapt to my needs by
focusing on oral and writing skills, which is what I needed to pass my English certification.
Silvia has helped me noticeably improve my English level to speak and write about a wide range of
topics in English and to take the TOEFL Test.Perfect! I highly recommend Silvia, she is a great teacher! She creates courses around your needs and what you want to improve. That makes her courses exhaustive and varied with readings, writings, exercises and discussions. Each lesson is accessible afterwards, if you need to read your notes. She's very friendly, flexible and professional. You never get bored in her class! I'm sure she'll be able to help you reach your goals like she helped me with mine.
Perfect! excellents cours dispensés par Silvia. c'est une personne vraiment passionnée par les langues ET par l'enseignement. les cours sont de très bonne qualité, intéressants et surtout adapté a notre demande et nos besoins. rien à voir avec notre système éducatif Français !
Perfect! Sa patience et ses supports
Perfect! Muy amable.
Perfect! Tiene mucha experiencia como profesora y se adapta perfectamente al nivel y necesidades del alumno. El hecho de que conoce más de una lengua le hace entender la perspectiva del alumno y le permite entender y corregir sus errores fácilmente. Es muy flexible y te da la opción de elegir el estilo de aprendizaje que prefieres como estudiante. Totalmente recomendable.

Perfect! It is almost a year that I have been taking classes with Silvia and I surely recommend her for anyone wants to learn/improve English. She is very professional and passionate about her work as teacher, which brings a great added value to our lessons. Thanks to her tailor-made approach, our classes are focused on my specific needs, goals and interests and she puts a lot of effort in personalizing every lesson. Before taking classes with her, I was struggling to get a good score in IELTS test, especially in the writing section, but Silvia helped me achieve what I aspired to by explaining strategies, providing helpful materials and correcting my texts. Moreover, she has also helped me to feel more confident when speaking in English in different ways, such as discussing articles covering a wide range of topics. In this way, I broadened my vocabulary and got acquainted with more sophisticated expressions, leading me to further refine my language skills. What I appreciate most of Silvia is that she is helping me not only to enrich my vocabulary, but she is also enabling me to understand the different shades of every new word I come across. This is of utmost importance because it allows me to handle more complex language when speaking/writing in English, especially for working reasons. Besides being an extremely competent teacher, she has always a positive attitude and shows great enthusiasm for what she is doing. I strongly believe that I couldn’t have found a better teacher than her!
È quasi un anno che ho lezione con Silvia e consiglio a chiunque voglia imparare/migliorare il proprio inglese di affidarsi a lei. È molto professionale e mostra un incredibile passione nello svolgere il suo lavoro di insegnante, il che rappresenta un valore aggiunto per le nostre lezioni. Grazie al suo approccio su misura per ogni studente, le nostre lezioni sono focalizzate sulle mie specifiche esigenze, obiettivi e interessi e lei si impegna molto nel personalizzare ogni lezione. Prima di iniziare le nostre lezioni, avevo difficoltà nel raggiungere un buon punteggio nel test IELTS, soprattutto nella sezione del Writing, ma grazie a Silvia che mi ha spiegato le strategie, fornito degli utili materiali e corretto i miei testi sono riuscita ad ottenere il punteggio a cui aspiravo. Inoltre, mi ha anche aiutato ad acquisire maggiore sicurezza nell’inglese parlato in diversi modi, come discutere di articoli riguardanti una vasta gamma di argomenti. In questo modo, ho ampliato il mio vocabolario e familiarizzato con espressioni più sofisticate, portandomi ad affinare ulteriormente le mie competenze linguistiche. Ciò che apprezzo di più di Silvia è che mi sta aiutando non solo ad arricchire il mio vocabolario, ma mi permette anche di capire le diverse sfumature di ogni nuova parola che incontro. Considero questo di estrema importanza perché mi permette di maneggiare un linguaggio più complesso quando parlo/scrivo in inglese, soprattutto per motivi di lavoro. Oltre ad essere un'insegnante estremamente competente, ha sempre un atteggiamento positivo e mostra grande entusiasmo in quello che fa. Sono fermamente convinta che non avrei potuto trovare un’insegnante migliore di lei!Perfect! Elle est rassurante, ses outils de travail partagés sont clairs et bien organisés. C'est pour moi une vrai belle première expérience réussie.
Perfect! Silvia is one of the most passionate teachers there is! She clearly really cares about her students' progress and it's apparent that she dedicates a huge amount of time to preparing her lessons and tailoring them to her students. Her classes are focused on real life communication, not just typical textbook exercises but applying the vocabulary and grammar to actual speaking situations that we practice in class. 10/10!
Perfect! Perfect :)
Perfect! Muy buena profesora, encantadora con los niños.
Perfect! J'ai suivi les cours de Silvia pendant 1an et demie et j'ai beaucoup progressé. J'avais besoin d'améliorer mon expression orale et elle a orienté les cours afin que je m'exprime d'avantage en utilisant du vocabulaire utile pour ma profession. Elle écrit tous les cours sur un fichier partagé afin de pour pouvoir les relire et voir ses erreurs. Elle donne des devoirs et prend soin de les corriger avec l'élève. Elle est très pédagogue et sympathique.
Perfect! Silvana est une excellente pédagogue et je la recommande vivement. Je l’ai contactée dans le cadre d’un nouvel emploi. Je voulais améliorer mon anglais à l’oral lors de conversation de base et je souhaitais acquérir une certaine pratique en vue de travailler dans un service financier. A chaque séance, nous avons travaillé sur les 2 plans. Tout au long de la séance, Silvana alimente un fichier partagé avec les différents termes et expressions abordées. J’ai apprécié sa sympathie et les échanges que nous avons eu. Son anglais est impeccable et je ferai encore appel à elle à l’avenir pour entretenir mes connaissances. Merci Silvana pour ces agréables séances.
Perfect! Es una buena profesora y que ayuda realmente al alumno a mejorar su inglés.

Ha mantenuto alta la mia motivazione utilizzando argomenti di mio interesse e trasmettendomi la sua passione per l'insegnamento. Utilizza metodi interattivi personalizzati e mai noiosi. Ha dimostrato ottima flessibilità per quanto riguarda tempi e modi di impartire le lezioni , ma più di tutto non mi ha mai fatto sentire a disagio o sotto pressione e mi ha sempre incoraggiato aiutandomi a migliorare più velocemente di quanto io avessi previsto. Per quanto mi riguarda le sono molto grato per i progressi che ho raggiunto. Non potevo sperare di trovare un insegnante migliore e mi sento di consigliarla a studenti di ogni livello ed esigenze.
Perfect! Silvana es una gran profesional, se adapta a mi ritmo y me ayuda muchísimo detectando mis necesidades. Además prepara material para que practique y me orienta en el aprendizaje.
La recomiendo 100 por 100.Perfect! Ella es la mejor opción para aprender el idioma, se adapta a su nivel y objetivos. Tiene flexibilidad en los horarios y con mucha paciencia.
Es una persona con una vocación, dedicación increíble y con actitud positiva siempre, motiva a que sus alumnos se esfuercen cada vez más para lograr mejores resultados.Perfect! Quería viajar a América al cabo de un mes y necesitaba mejorar mi nivel de inglés. Con clases intensivas Silvana consiguió que mejorara bastante al extremo de poder mantener bastante bien conversaciones con los residentes y resto de viajeros (cosa que nunca había conseguido). Eso hizo que mi viaje fuera mucho más agradable y seguro. Silvana tiene un muy buen método, lleva las clases muy preparadas y se adapta al nivel y necesidades del alumno fenomenalmente. La recomiendo totalmente.
Perfect! "Silvana is the best English teacher I have ever had. With my previous teachers, I always had the feeling of learning the same things. However, with Silvana's lessons I am acquiring a lot of new and useful grammar and vocabulary. I have noticed a considerable improvement in my English level, even without having too much time to study on my own.
Her lessons are completely adapted to my needs. In addition, they are very dynamic and fun, with many different types of exercises. They go fast! I am really happy with her!"
Silvana es la mejor profesora de inglés que he tenido. Con mis maestros anteriores, siempre tuve la sensación de aprender las mismas cosas. Sin embargo, con las lecciones de Silvana, estoy adquiriendo mucha gramática y vocabulario nuevos y útiles. He notado una mejora considerable en mi nivel de inglés, incluso sin tener demasiado tiempo para estudiar por mi cuenta.
Sus lecciones están completamente adaptadas a mis necesidades. Además, son muy dinámicos y divertidos, con muchos tipos diferentes de ejercicios. ¡Van rápido! ¡Estoy muy feliz con ella!Perfect! Es una estupenda profesora , se implica mucho e incide en tus fallos yo estoy encantada con ella

I started with silvia 6 years ago with English classes, and she has definitely been the best teacher I ever had. In fact I have gained so much confidence in my english that I started doing coaching sessions with her in English when she started offering them. My experience with both these classes was really fantastic, I have seen really great results.
I LOVE Silvia as a coach. She's clearly doing this out of real passion and care for other people, which is really special to find. She has helped me find a much better way of understanding some past events that were really affecting me, I have a much greater sense of peace in everyday life and she has helped me make so much progress with my goals – as a solopreneur, she gives excellent advice for starting a business too, which I've finally done this year! I'm so happy I found her.
Silvia is very experienced and a skilled English teacher. We discuss lots of different topics in her classes, so we can practice a wide range of vocabularies, phrasal verbs, expressions and idioms. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to advance to the next level in English.
Silvia is very nice, pleasant, and patient, she’s always prepared with a great lesson and helps me learn. I really recommend her!
I’ve been taking English lessons with Silvia for a few months now, and I’m already seeing great progress. She’s very kind, positive, and she makes a very pleasant atmosphere. She proposes lots of different activities to make me learn fun and efficient. As I’ve told her, it’s a pleasure to take lessons with her!
Silvia has an excellent teaching style, she takes the time to explain everything I’m not sure about and she has an amazing system for share her class materials. It makes studying very easy and fun. I’m so glad I found her!
I really wish I had found Silvia earlier! I would have advanced in English so much faster and easier. For a long time I was studying, on my own or with other teachers, but I was always frustrated because I couldn’t actually communicate or to make proper sentences. Thanks to Silvia’s classes, I’ve reached a solid B2 level and now I’m working to the C1 level! I never dreamed I would be able to progress like this. Her lessons are varied, dynamic and interactive, so they are both fun and really effective. Also, Silvia is super patient and she can perfectly adapt the lessons to my goals and interests. I highly recommend her!
Silvia is one of the very best teachers out there. She is always prepared for our lessons with material adapted to my level and goals, and her lessons are both interesting and effective. She focuses on real life communication, not just doing exercises, so there is a lot of interaction. By the end of the lesson, I feel like I’ve really learned the material well, and Silvia also gives me exercises so I can review in my free time. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to learn English in order to really use it and communicate with confidence!
Truly an excellent teacher! I have never been happier than with my lessons with Silvia! She not only gives great service, but she’s also a very kind person with a huge heart. She always encourages you in every way you could need. I’ve definitely found the best teacher! I’m always excited for my next lesson with Silvia. She’s the teacher you need in your life to achieve just about anything you have planned!
It’s clear that languages and teaching is Silvia’s passion! I started taking lessons with her to take the IELTS test two years ago, but her dedication and amazing teaching style convinced me to keep taking lessons even after I passed the exam. Silvia has helped me make noticeable improvements in my vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, fluency, and overall confidence. What I appreciate most about her is her constant positive attitude, creativity in planning lessons especially for me, and attentiveness to my needs. I think it’s very rare to find a teacher who does all this for her students! I consider myself very lucky to have found Silvia. Thank you!
I have taken classes with Silvia for six months. She is a fantastic teacher! I wanted to focus on accent reduction, and Silvia adapted the sessions to my needs perfectly. Her classes are very well prepared and structured, and at the same time they are really fun.
I have been taking English lessons with Silvia since the end of 2018. A friend of mine recommended Silvia, and I am pleased to study with her. She is highly competent and attentively corrects my mistakes. In addition, she is flexible enough to adjust the content of our lessons according to my current needs.
Initially, the main idea was to refresh my English, which was completely lost since I moved from the UK back to my home country in 2006. A second aim was to get ahead with my spoken English, properly communicate with others and make myself understandable in my new life experience, by this time, in Canada.
Silvia helped me enormously, promptly identified the significant issues and addressed them straight away. It was impressive how fast I was able to interact with my neighbours and my son's friend's parents, answer a phone call, attend a workshop, and so on.
In the second phase of our lessons, beginning in April 2021, we focused on the IELTS exam. We spent the majority of time developing my speaking and writing skills, which I believe are my most evident weaknesses. In addition, last month, I decided to take the CELPIP exam before the IELTS. Because of this, I asked Silvia to practice more daily conversations and correct my written emails, as these are required for CELPIP.
Silvia, again, was very flexible in adjusting the tone of our lessons, which I really appreciate. Having studied the CELPIP structure and practiced writing and speaking skills with Silvia for two months, I feel I am ready to take the exam.
I am confident that I will get a good score, and I am happy to have Silvia with me on this journey.
Thank you, Silvia!I was SO lucky to find Silvia as my teacher. I’ve had many teachers in the past, and by far NONE of them showed the level of dedication and passion towards her students like Silvia does. It’s clear that she spends hours making her lesson materials, learning about different methods and exercises, and she chooses the best ones especially for you. She pays careful attention to your goals and preferences and builds the lessons to match those things perfectly. I’ve been taking lessons from her for 4 years now, and I couldn’t possibly be happier! I think having Silvia as your teacher would be a blessing for any English learner.

I met Silvia six years ago when we both attended University of Ottawa. In the time that I have known her she has accomplished a great deal in terms of both academic and extracurricular achievements. I was always impressed by her ability to balance the responsibility of being a full time student, while also working to support herself. In addition to school and work, Silvia also participated in extracurricular activities, such as the UOttawa Kin Club (which she helped found) and studying as a pianist. She has managed to achieve all of this and more due to a combination her incredible work ethic and positive attitude. Recently I had the opportunity to witness some of her lessons when she came to visit me a few weeks ago, she is a very patient teacher who puts in a great deal of effort to personalize each students learning experience to meet their specific needs and goals, she is also very punctual and well organized. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is interested in improving their language skills.
-Mike Rodgers, CanadaSilvana has shown time and time again to be resourceful and fully dedicated to her students. She is constantly trying to find a way to make things better for her students.
Teacher Silvia is very talented in what she does. I have known her for over a year, and I am impressed with her language abilities, and importantly, her ever-growing broad heart. I am amazed by her enthusiasm for her teachings. I learn from her daily, as she diligently prepares for each of her students’ individual class lesson; I can see her passion and dedication each time. I value that her class offers the students a comfortable format to learn professional and communicative English. It is an important factor for language learners, and she makes sure to value it as well. Silvia teaches her students as if their journey is also her journey; hand-in-hand, she makes the students’ goals her priority, and stays honest about the progress. She spends her hours outside of class to prepare the optimal exercise and activity for each of her students. Lastly, Silvia knows numerous languages fluently, and with that being said, I am confident that a language-learner knows how to learn a language.
I have worked under Silvia and with her on a number of projects. She is a dedicated and resourceful woman who can demonstrate great patience and has wonderful listening and communication skills.
She has participated in a number of community projects and demonstrates great communication by listening to others. She is an excellent multi-tasker, and overall highly capable person who I feel I can count on. Her charisma and dedicated work ethic are positively infectious to other group members.
I would ardently recommend her for her enviable range of communication skills and potential, her inspiring curiosity and strong work ethic, and her positive attitude and dependability. She is without a doubt an asset to any organization."Silvana es una de las profesoras más talentosas y amables que he visto. Ella ha estado enseñando inglés por más de 5 años y la estructura de sus clases es envidiable.
