ABOUT US

Born and raised in Italy, I always dreamed of exploring new horizons and experiencing different cultures. In 1997, at the age of 28, I packed my bags and headed to the UK with a receptionist job and a thirst for adventure. My journey began in the hospitality industry, where I worked long hours and faced the challenges of adapting to a foreign environment. Eventually, I transitioned into recruitment, and thanks to my teaching qualifications, I began teaching Italian and Spanish to both adults and young students.

 

As I gained experience, I found myself inundated with requests from friends and acquaintances seeking English courses. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion, and in 2007, I founded TECLA Languages. Starting a business in a foreign country came with its own set of challenges, but I was fortunate to have a supportive network of friends who helped me through the tough times. “When the going gets tough, the tough get going,” they say, and I discovered a resilience within myself that kept me pushing forward.

Fast forward 26 years, and I'm still in the UK. Now a British citizen, I am married to a wonderful and supportive man, blessed with a gorgeous and funny little boy, living in a lovely house, and running my own successful business.

It's hard to believe that I arrived in this country with just a suitcase and a receptionist job. Looking back, I am proud of how far I've come and grateful for all the experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today. The journey has been challenging at times, but incredibly rewarding, and it’s not finished yet. In fact, my husband Ernesto left his job at his bank and has now joined the company as Co-Director and CFO.

 

We have also joined the BBE, a group of fantastic mentors led by the truly inspiring Adam Stott, a Forbes Coach. We are surrounded by other successful and inspirational business people. Having lived abroad alone, I have gained invaluable knowledge and experience. I am now able to help other students who are going abroad, offering advice and guidance to prevent them from making the same mistakes I did and get the most from their experience.
