Nicole Maina | Coach for Multilingual Families

Consultation

Tailored Coaching

I believe in personalized support because, from both personal and professional experience, I know that every family is unique, and each person responds to different kinds of encouragement as they grow and flourish within their community. That’s why I’ve developed several coaching paths designed to guide you toward multilingual harmony and growth. You can work with me in two ways: through a group experience with other multilingual parents in the GeM Club, or through personalized one-on-one sessions.

How does the group work?

We meet online every two weeks for six months. By listening to the guidance I offer each parent — and by sharing challenges and experiences together — you’ll make steady progress and stay motivated.
And if you choose the Premium package, I’ll also support you between group sessions with six individual coaching sessions, where you can ask questions and keep me updated on your family’s progress.

Reviews

“We had Nicole coach our multilingual family to help us find better ways to pass my language on to our children. Nicole gave us thoughtful, practical suggestions and explained each idea clearly with concrete examples. We now have a much clearer picture of what we can do to help our children feel more comfortable with their father’s language, and we’re much more motivated to do it. A truly positive experience.”

Adrian lives in Italy with his Italian wife and speaks Romanian with their children, ages 6 and 9

"Talking with Nicole gave me the opportunity to reflect on how I can support my son in his multilingual development. I had many doubts and questions, but during our session I found answers and a clearer idea of how to accompany my son's language development. Nicole also helped me to consider language learning in a broader way, linking it not only to teaching words, but also to self-care and building relationships within the family. Even though my child is only one year old, I am happy to have started this journey now. I believe that it is never too early to start multilingual coaching. It is reassuring to know that I can contact Nicole when I have questions or concerns."

Amy lives in Turin with her Italian husband, with whom she speaks English, and is teaching Korean to her one-year-old son

"I found Nicole to be a highly capable professional, with a strong propensity for listening and great empathy. She was able to identify the problem and together we evaluated the strategies to implement. She guided us in choosing creative and simple solutions that allowed us to achieve immediate results. A highly recommended professional! Thank you, Nicole!!!"

Maia is Argentinean, has lived in Italy for 25 years, and teaches Spanish to her 11-year-old son

"Nicole helped me clarify how to bring our third language into our daily routines with my three children. She did it with empathy, truly understanding the challenges of a working mother with limited time. Together, taking into account the realities of my everyday life, we identified several strategies to help me stay consistent and motivated in passing on the German language. She gave me practical, doable advice and encouraged me to set goals I could genuinely achieve."

Arianna is a conference interpreter and children’s English teacher. In addition to her native Italian, she speaks English and German with her three children

“I had a wonderful experience working with Nicole. She was attentive, kind, and very practical. She gave me so many simple and helpful suggestions for introducing Russian into my son’s daily life without pressure, but in a natural and enjoyable way. Her explanations gave me so much motivation and confidence in our multilingual journey. I truly recommend her to any family raising children with more than one language. Thank you again for your availability and for the warmth and gentleness with which you support families.”

Aleksandra is Russian and lives in Italy with her Argentine husband. Together with their two children, they speak Russian, Spanish, and Italian

“After living many years in France, my greatest wish was to pass the language on to my daughter — both to support her future at school and in her career, and also because I wanted to continue speaking it myself. But good intentions quickly collided with everyday life. I tried to speak French with her from birth, but with work, exhaustion, and daily responsibilities, staying consistent wasn’t easy. And when she turned three, her constant ‘no’s and strong resistance made things even more challenging. With her personal and professional experience, Nicole is helping me find my direction again. She supports me through moments of discouragement, giving me a clear method, lots of helpful advice, and practical tools for managing bilingualism in our family day by day. Our online meetings are the perfect mix of pedagogical support and practical strategies. I recommend this service to any parent who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking for expert guidance.”

Cristina is Italian. After many years living in France, she returned to Italy and is now passing French on to her four-year-old daughter

“I really enjoyed Nicole’s presentation. As mothers, we often talk about this topic and about how our children experience bilingualism. It was very helpful for me to learn more about multilingualism from Nicole, as an expert. Most of all, she encouraged me not to give up and to continue our journey with new energy.”

Petra is a German mother of a nine-year-old daughter and lives in South Korea with her Korean husband

Is there an age limit to start?

There are no age limits. You can begin when your child says their first words, or later —even up to preadolescence.
For older children, I can create a customized path that requires a bit more in-depth planning.
Feel free to contact me at nicole@nicolemaina.com.

Which languages is the GeM Club suitable for?

Any languages spoken in your family. During the online sessions, everyone will speak Italian (and it’s perfectly fine if Italian isn’t your native language). A German-language group will be available soon.

I can’t start right away. Will there be other dates?

You can join the group at any time and participate for six months.

Do both parents need to participate?

The parent who wants to pass on their language participates.
Your partner is welcome to join if they wish, and their support at home is always very helpful.

How do I join and connect?

All you need is a laptop or smartphone. Click the link I’ll send you, turn on your microphone and webcam, and you’re all set.

What if I can’t attend a live session?

Meetings will be scheduled as thoughtfully as possible to accommodate everyone’s needs. If you can’t make it on a particular day, you’ll receive a link to the recording, which you can watch at any time over the following two weeks.

The choice you’re about to make is meaningful for you, your family, and your relationship with your child. And beyond that, multilingualism can shape your child’s entire future — and may one day be passed on to your grandchildren as well, if your child chooses to continue the tradition.

This may be the moment that shapes the future of your family
