"The best way to learn a language is to use it in real conversations with real people!"
Hi, I'm Stella—a language lover with over a decade of experience inspiring people to unlock the joy of speaking new languages through the power of conversation.
Originally from Argentina, with proud Italian roots, I grew up surrounded by a rich tapestry of languages and cultures. This sparked a lifelong passion that led me to study linguistics and teaching methodologies, culminating in my graduation from the prestigious CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) programme at Cambridge University.
Along the way, I discovered a gap in traditional language learning: too often, it skips the heart of the matter—real, everyday conversation.
That's why I developed my unique conversational practice approach. It's designed to help you learn languages the way they're meant to be learnt—through authentic, meaningful interactions in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Forget dull textbooks or rigid rules. With me, you'll build practical skills and confidence to connect with others, starting from day one.
Let's embark on this language journey together!

I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn or improve their English!"

"Every Saturday morning at Rincon de Pepe a friendly group convenes to speak Spanish. From beginner to fluent, conversation is relaxed and gently steered by the lovely Stella. You work without it feeling like work"

"After my teacher retired I looked endlessly for another opportunity to practice my Spanish in a relaxed atmosphere. I came across Rincon de Pepe and Stella quite by chance, and the introduction to the Saturday morning coffee and conversation group was heaven sent! We have such fun learning and speaking, and Stella is such a warm and welcoming host. Thank you!"

"I joined Rincón de Pepe morning group for conversational Spanish. A very welcoming group and Stella sets it up beautifully with work exercises to start the conversation. Luckily Stella has offered extra classes including one-to-one Spanish, which I have taken up. Has already made a huge difference to my confidence. Stella is friendly, very professional and she understood what I require which is confidence for a one-way conversation and put the grammar I have been learning to the test. I would thoroughly recommend Stella as a language teacher."

"As one of a small group of 'English trying to speak Spanish' I enjoy meeting each Saturday morning at Rincón de Pepe. There I do benefit from the Spanish learning material plus conductive ambience that Stella provides to promote conversation in Spanish between a wholly animated group. Well done y muchas gracias, Stella!"

"Stella is an excellent teacher who uses a wide range of materials to get conversations started which then flow well and cover a wide range of topics. She's always ready to help with translations and easy to understand explanations when clarification is required. Making the classes interesting and thought-provoking."

"I love our Saturday morning meetups at Rincón de Pepe. Stella sets us up with great Spanish learning stuff and a chill vibe that gets our lively bunch chatting away in Spanish. Big props and a huge gracias to Stella for making it happen!"

"After many attempts to find a teacher of Italian in the area, I was much relieved when Stella started offering lessons at Rincón de Pepe on a Monday, and I gladly became her first student. Stella is a person of many talents not least of which is being a gifted polyglot with extensive experience of didactics. Stella is truly a star. Grazie mille!"
