Núria Ramon Garcia
Gràcies a la Federica, a banda de millorar el meu anglès d’una manera amena i d’aprofundir en el vocabulari i eines útils per a la meva professió, estic adquirint seguretat i confiança a l’hora d’utilitzar professionalment l’anglès. La seva actitud positiva, constructiva i sempre encoratjadora, ajuda a un creixement personal que va més enllà d’aprendre l’idioma. Ella aplica un mètode propi, adaptat a cada alumna, que aporta, sens dubte, un valor extraordinari. Thanks to Federica, I’m improving my English in a pleasant way, I’m delving into the vocabulary and useful tools for my profession, and I’m gaining confidence and trust in myself at the moment to use English professionally. Her positive, constructive and always encouraging attitude, leads people to a personal growth that goes beyond learning a language. She applies her own method, adapted to each student, which provides, with no doubt, an extraordinary value. Núria Ramon General Manager Eyes of the World Foundation

Federica ha logrado centrar inmediatamente mis objetivos, diseña sesiones hechas a medida para mi perfil profesional y para mis necesidades específicas, sin olvidar una metodología más general para el aprendizaje del inglés. Mediante el uso de diferentes técnicas, consigue hacer sesiones animadas que siempre incluyen ejercicios diferentes y originales que las hacen dinámicas y agradables. Los resultados son evidentes desde el principio y esto aumenta la confianza tanto en uno mismo, como en la formadora, cosa que activa un proceso virtuoso que sostiene y aumenta la energía para el estudio. Federica could immediately centre my objectives, she designs sessions made to measure for my professional profile and to my specific needs, without forgetting a more general learning methodology for the English language. By using different techniques, she manages to do lively sessions which always include different and original exercises that make them dynamic and pleasant. Results are evident very early on and this increases trust both in one self and in the trainer, activating a virtuous process that sustains and increases energy for study.
