Raissa G.

A passionate and globally minded Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) educator, I have dedicated my career to fostering linguistic excellence and cultural fluency across Europe. Born and raised in Switzerland, I turned my lifelong passion for languages into my profession by studying Modern Foreign Languages at the Schule fuer Angewandte Linguistik, Zurich.
I began my teaching career in Switzerland, where I prepared students for the Diplôme de l'Alliance Française and taught EFL at the grammar school.
Driven by a desire to expand my own linguistic horizons as a global citizen, I later moved to Italy to immerse myself in the study of Italian. This move marked the beginning of a successful, multi-faceted teaching career within Italy's premier educational institutions.In Milan, I joined the Swiss School of Milan (Scuola Svizzera Milano), where I taught English and successfully prepared students for both the Swiss Matura (A-levels) and advanced English qualifications, including the Cambridge FCE and CAE.
Seeking a return to teaching my native language, I transitioned to the International School of Como. There, I specialized in the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, guiding students through the rigorous IB Diploma German B (SL and HL) program as well as the MYP German e-Assessments.Most recently, I expanded my portfolio into higher education at the University of Milan, lecturing in both German and English as a Foreign Language.
With extensive experience spanning Swiss, International, and university-level curricula, I remain committed to empowering the next generation of multilingual global citizens.
