Welcome mistakes
When children speak, focus on the message rather than grammar slip-ups. Praise their willingness to share; accuracy develops naturally when confidence comes first.

English learning should be more than memorising words and completing exercises.
At Miss D English, children learn to use English through communication, creativity, stories, activities and meaningful interaction.
The goal is not simply to know more English. It is to feel more confident using it.

The educator behind Miss D English
Meet Miss D
I'm Denise Lanorias — but to my students, I'm Miss D.
Miss D English is an independent educational brand founded by Denise Lanorias, drawing on over 15 years of international teaching experience and certified TEFL/TESOL methodology. Conceived as a dedicated home for authentic English learning, Miss D English creates curated language programs — beginning with its signature Enrichment Program for children aged 6–11 — where natural communication and speaking confidence guide every experience.
With 15+ years of international teaching experience and a certified TEFL/TESOL methodology, I created Miss D English to give children a place where they can learn English in a supportive, engaging and encouraging environment.
My approach is simple: children learn English best when they feel comfortable using it.
I create learning experiences through conversation, games, stories, creative activities and projects, giving children opportunities to participate, experiment with the language and grow in confidence.
For me, learning English is not only about knowing the language — it's about feeling confident enough to use it.

Supporting your child
Helpful tips for parents
Simple ways to nurture confidence and curiosity with English at home — without stress or homework.
Everyday micro-moments
You don't need a desk or formal study hours. Five minutes in the car naming colours, switching a favourite cartoon to English, or counting fruit at the market builds natural familiarity.
Shared curiosity
Instead of quizzing with “How do you say that in English?”, explore together: “Let's listen to this song,” or “Show me a game you played with Miss D.” Curiosity creates joy.
Looking for more games and vocabulary ideas? Miss D shares weekly activities on Instagram and Facebook.

How is this different from English at school?
School English often focuses on grammar rules, worksheets and grades. At Miss D English, children use English in action — through stories, games, creative tasks and real conversation, the language becomes a natural tool for expression, not a subject to fear.
My child is shy or a complete beginner. Will they feel overwhelmed?
Not at all. Every child is welcomed at their own pace. With a maximum of 6 children per group, every voice is heard. Visual cues, expressive storytelling and hands-on activities help even complete beginners feel comfortable — never put on the spot.
Are there tests, grades or homework?
No tests, no grades and no homework. Children already carry enough school pressure; our 75-minute sessions are an energising experience where learning happens in the room. What they take home is enthusiasm, new words and pride in what they created.
Where and when do sessions take place?
Each session lasts 75 minutes (1 hour 15 minutes) at the Public Library of Bodio Lomnago, Piazza Don Beniamino Gandini 2.
• Saturday mornings: 09:00 – 10:15 and 10:30 – 11:45
• Weekday afternoons: we are currently collecting availability for potential groups Monday to Thursday (indicative afternoon window from 16:00)
Groups are formed with care according to age, English familiarity and family preferences shared in the interest form.
What happens after I express my interest?
Expressing interest is free and carries no obligation. You simply share your child's age, their current level of English and preferred days; I'll then reach out personally by WhatsApp or email to introduce myself, answer your questions and find the right group together.
