About Us

I'm Riccardo, a 17-year-old from Milan, Italy, and I'm currently in tenth grade at Deutsche Schule Mailand, where I've studied since I was 5 years old. I'm a passionate student of economics and I'm keen on kickboxing. I have many dreams, among the others: to study finance. I joined the project because I met Giulio through a German teacher we had in common — hearing him talk about it inspired me, and I wanted to do something good with my time.

I'm Matilde, an 18-year-old student in my fourth year of language high school in Milan. I have a deep passion for travelling and discovering foreign cultures. For the past three years, I've been practicing figure skating. I dream of becoming an art journalist.

I'm Anna, a 19-year-old student in my fourth year at a language high school in Milan. I'm an avid reader with a deep love for travel, drawn to stories, places, and people. I dream of becoming a lawyer, driven by the desire to stand up for those whose voices have too often been ignored.

I'm Cecilia, 18 years old, and I was born and raised in Rome. Last year, I moved to Zurich after my mother got a new job there, and I'm now attending the 11th grade. I love writing, both for myself and for others, as well as reading in English and Italian. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports and spending time with my friends. I met Giulio at Hull's School in Zurich, and when he spoke about his project it really hit me — I started right away and taught one lesson after the other.

I'm Costanza, a 15-year-old student currently in Y10 at the British School of Milan. English has always been part of my life, as I've attended British schools since nursery. I also adore travelling and exploring new cultures, and I'm particularly passionate about History and Chemistry, hoping to study the former alongside International Affairs at university.

Hi, I'm Harjot. I was born in India, but I've been living in Italy since I was four years old. I'm 18 and currently in my final year of scientific high school in Puglia. I really enjoy cooking, reading, and learning new languages. Next year, I'll try to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor. I found the project through a post on Instagram and applied the same evening.

My name is Mathilde Le Houedec and I'm 16 years old. I moved from France to Italy about six years ago, an experience that completely changed my life. I'm currently studying at an international high school and working toward an Italian-American double diploma. I have been an assistant for the past two years, helping teach French to middle school students at the Milan French school. I love being in international environments, which has led me to lots of new experiences like IMUN Milan. My passions range from travel to musicals, books and dance. My dream is to get into an Ivy League university. A friend who was already a teen teacher told me about the project.

I'm Rosalie, an 18-year-old student from Germany, and I just got back from an exchange to South Africa, where I saw how connecting English can actually be. Now I want to use my newly gained language knowledge to connect others. I saw Giulio speaking about the project online and it inspired me to join right after my exchange.

I've always been curious and like to stay busy, whether by studying science or exploring new hobbies. Right now, I'm studying A-levels, focusing on biology and chemistry. I enjoy understanding how what I learn applies to real-life situations, especially when it can help others. Outside of school, I enjoy baking and traveling. I like trying out new recipes and discovering different cultures, often through food. These activities help me relax and stay creative. I also enjoy helping others, especially working with children, which has helped me build strong communication skills. Overall, I'm someone who likes trying new things, challenging myself, and taking every chance to grow.

I'm Mysha, a 15-year-old student living in Stockholm and attending high school. I love creative projects involving different techniques, whether embroidery or finger painting. My favourite subjects in school are aesthetics and social studies. My aspiration to be a teen teacher stems from wanting to help students build confidence in a subject seen as vital to gain opportunities in today's society. I first saw the project on TikTok, and the idea of teens teaching teens made me apply.

I'm Pietro, 16 years old, a student currently at Eton School, Year 11. I thrive on pushing myself. I'm passionate about sport, whether in the sea or up in the mountains. I'm naturally curious and genuinely enjoy teaching younger students. I joined the project because Giulio and I were classmates at TASIS in Lugano.

I'm Karim, a 17-year-old from Beirut, Lebanon. I'm currently in year 12 at Hassan Kassir High School, studying general science and planning on becoming a civil engineer. I'm passionate about football and sports. I hope to become a successful engineer when I'm older, and to do so I'll study engineering at the Lebanese American University. I discovered the project online while searching for a way to volunteer, and I applied straight away.

I would describe myself as a curious, thoughtful, and determined person. I like learning new things, understanding different perspectives, and improving myself. I value honesty, clear communication, and authenticity, and I usually approach challenges with an open and practical mindset.
