Italian tuition

You can learn italian

For pleasure or for work, from zero or from an advanced level, learning or practising Italian can be fun and fulfilling.

One-to-one tuition or conversation group classes


We all love the Italian climate, art, architecture, and Italian food. You can get a lot more out of your Italian experience if you actually do speak some Italian.
Although most Italians will be more than willing to practise their English skills on you, you'll make a splash if you can say Buongiorno to them, or buy those oranges bursting with freshness from the market stall and book your hotel stay using their language.
Whether you want to learn Italian for pleasure or for work, to make the best of your Italian experience, I can offer you:
- Fun and sympathetic conversation sessions, where you can practise (and improve) your Italian, at whatever level it is.
- Tailored, one-to-one or small group tuition and teaching, with a more structured approach, so you can learn Italian from scratch, or improve it.
I will offer you the maximum flexibility. I hold Italian language classes in my study room, and I also provide individual Italian online lessons, which you can attend using your computer, your mobile phone or a tablet from wherever you are. You can progress from zero to survival Italian in an amazingly short time (from survival to fluent takes a little longer).
I want you to learn to communicate in Italian, and I will help you to develop the skills you need, and learn how to ask questions, understand and give answers, use the Internet, and discuss the subjects you are interested in.
We can use books, web sites, and many other resources, based on your needs, at your speed, and for your benefit.
Let me know what you need, and what you want to achieve, and I'll help you do it!
