Business English Teacher
Business English is about much more than grammar and vocabulary. It’s about communicating clearly, confidently and naturally in real business situations. With over 30 years of teaching experience, I offer personalised lessons that focus on the English you actually need at work – from meetings, presentations and negotiations to emails, interviews and everyday conversations with international colleagues and clients.

Business English: Your Essential Guide
I wrote “Business English“, a fun and easy guide for learning how to use the language at work. The book, which is written both in English and Italian, was published by Gribaudo, part of the Feltrinelli Group in 2020. “Business English” was also distributed via “Il Sole 24 Ore”, Italy’s leading financial newspaper, and was on sale at every newsstand in the country. The book explains how to get a job, write a great CV and navigate job interviews. It also covers the main Business English situations: meeting colleagues and clients, talking on the telephone, sending emails, taking part in meetings, doing presentations and travelling for business. The main characters of “Business English” include the Job Genie, who pops up to provide advice and guidance to Angelo Castello, a young man who travels to London to find new opportunities in his career and personal life.
