Interpreting Services
Professional interpreting in Italian, English and Spanish for conferences, institutional events and professional meetings. I work closely with clients to ensure communication is clear, accurate and attentive to context, tone and the people involved, whether on site or remotely. Assignments may be carried out in simultaneous, consecutive or whispered interpreting depending on the needs of the event.
Language Training
Personalised language training in English, Spanish and Italian for professionals, institutions, families and individuals. My courses are grounded in real communication and focus on building confidence, strong oracy skills and cultural awareness across contexts. Sessions are tailored to each learner’s goals, combining structured language development with practical communication practice.
Educational Consultancy
Consultancy for institutions, schools and organisations developing specialised language programmes. I support teams with needs analysis, curriculum design and the development of pedagogical materials aligned with specific professional or institutional contexts. My work helps create coherent learning programmes that combine linguistic rigour with practical communication outcomes.
Testimonials
I value the close, trusting relationships I build with the people I work with. Whether they are clients, institutions, or learners, each collaboration is grounded in mutual respect, care, and understanding. Here’s what some of them have shared about working with me:
Courses for adults
“Melina has been an excellent teacher. I especially appreciated that she spoke Spanish almost all the time, which challenged us both to speak more ourselves and to understand more. I feel that things are starting to click when it comes to speaking Spanish.I enjoyed the small groups and a great atmosphere in the classroom. I particularly appreciated the moments beyond the textbook, where questions were explored and concepts explained in depth. I’ve learned a lot and really enjoyed the course.”
Courses for children
"We hired Melina for private English lessons for our kids, aged 5 and 8, before moving abroad. We were impressed with the professional and engaging course Melina put together for them. Both our kids really loved the lessons and looked forward to each time they would meet with Melina. They had a lot of fun, but they also learned a lot. Melina adjusted the lessons based on their level and needs, and kept them engaged through a variety of different play-based tasks. Melina is a warm and friendly person, great with kids, easy to communicate with and pleasant to be around. We would truly recommend her for similar engagements!"
Interpreting
“Melina assisted us with interpreting during the process of purchasing a home in Italy. Her support was invaluable in meetings with the real estate agent, the notary and other professionals involved in the transaction. She helped us understand both the language and the procedures, which made the entire process much clearer and less stressful. Thanks to her, we felt confident that we understood every step of the purchase.”
