My story

From Italy to the UAE.

For almost thirty years, home was Seveso, a small town near Milan. I graduated summa cum laude in Interpretation and Translation, then earned a Master’s in International Management.

In 2019 I moved to Dubai with one idea: English should open doors, not close them. I built a fully digital academy, and within 36 months more than 20,000 people were learning with me.

Today I teach Globish®, the simple English the world actually speaks. Because a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The AUGE® Method

Achieve Unbelievable Goals through Experiential learning.

Globish® is the English of about 1,500 words that most of the world really uses: 74% of the 1.5 billion people who speak English learned it as a tool, not as a native language. The AUGE® Method teaches it through experience, not memorisation.

Kind words

Thirty thousand voices. Here are a few.

  • Flavio MariniSep 2025

    Simple and easy to understand

    A SIMPLE and EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND method! Monica passes on all her experience with such energy that English, even in a few days, stops being a taboo and becomes part of your life.
  • Emilio SarroJul 2025

    An outstanding coach

    A magnificent experience. Monica is a superb coach: precise, punctual, accurate and brilliant. The promise was kept. Ten out of ten. Thank you, Monica!
  • Barbara MarrasSep 2025

    Results straight away

    The results are immediate. After years of trying to memorise grammar rules for nothing, with Monica it all becomes easy and fun thanks to her techniques!
  • Lara GottardiJan 2024

    A method for living better

    Learning English this way is fun, but Monica doesn’t only teach English. She teaches a way to live better and feel good about yourself.
  • Katia VignoliAug 2022

    English finally within reach

    For years, learning English was a missed goal for me. Then Monica and her AUGE Method arrived, and the language became something truly within reach.
  • Veronica SeveriJul 2025

    The spark finally came

    I thought English was a closed chapter for me. I started from zero, and the way Monica explains English so clearly and SIMPLY lit the spark.
  • Elisa CirilloJul 2022

    For anyone afraid of mistakes

    I recommend it to anyone who loves English but is afraid of getting it wrong. Monica explains brilliantly and passes on her love for the language.
  • Martina CannoniAug 2025

    English made simple

    For the first time English was simple, easy and clear. I really had so much fun. Monica is a super teacher!
  • Islanda GalassoSep 2024

    Easy, fun and serious

    I had no experience with English. In a short time I read and understand, even when I watch films. Easy, fun and, above all, serious.
  • Simona BottaI Speak Globish® reader

    Not just another English book

    It isn’t just an English book like any other. It pushes you to believe in yourself, especially once you are past 50.
  • Antonella TecchiMay 2026

    I feel much more confident

    I'm very happy with my journey in a language I had never really studied properly. Thanks to the AUGE method and the coaches who support me in every lesson, today I feel much more confident and I can talk about topics I love and about everyday subjects.
  • Sabrina DaneseDec 2025

    Wonderful experience

    Wonderful experience, Monica is an extraordinary teacher who makes everything very simple and exciting.
  • Mara FavatoFeb 2026

    Skeptic won over in 4 days

    I was skeptical I could learn anything in so little time, but in just 4 days I changed my mind!
  • Costanza PipinatoFeb 2026

    No longer afraid of mistakes

    Thanks to Elena I've improved my pronunciation and I'm understanding a bit more, but above all I'm no longer worried about making mistakes.
  • Paola MerliniJul 2026

    My coach feels like a friend

    Fluency Formula lessons with my coaches are always really useful and fun. … After so many lessons together, I can say Katrina feels like a friend I share pieces of my life with. I'm so glad I started this journey.
  • Anna BoniSep 2025

    Beating the fear of mistakes

    Katrina was brilliant at putting me at ease, encouraging and motivating me all the time. … I hope to improve and overcome the fear of making mistakes, which is what holds me back the most.
  • Giovanni GualtieriSep 2025

    Encouraged from the first minute

    My first Fluency Formula lesson with Katrina! Outstanding: right from the start she encouraged me to express myself freely, put me at ease and made the lesson exciting.
  • Virginia MontaruliFeb 2026

    You talk, have fun and really learn

    You talk a lot, naturally, and that makes the experience really engaging: the time literally flew by. It's the kind of lesson where you talk a lot, have fun and really learn at the same time.
  • Paolo MenonnaJun 2026

    Speaking more fluently

    Another Fluency Smart lesson with coach Elena, in free conversation about my daily and work routine. I appreciated her corrections and the pronunciation practice, which really help you speak more fluently and naturally.
  • Ivan CeminMay 2026

    Patient, constant support

    Lessons with Jobelle are always really engaging and constructive. She follows me with great patience and corrects me during the conversation. … Thank you, Jobelle, for your constant and essential support.
  • CristinaJan 2026

    A really engaging session

    A really engaging speaking session with Jane, where I improved my pronunciation and comprehension and consolidated some industry-specific vocabulary.
  • Claudia Dall'AneseOct 2025

    My great experience continues

    My great experience continues, meeting different coaches in rotation. I'm really happy here, and I hope to keep sharpening my English. Thanks to Shem, Jobelle, Yvonne, Elena and the whole team.
