Develop natural, accurate Italian through one-to-one lessons that connect grammar and pronunciation with confident communication.
Italian becomes easier to use when its sounds, structures and vocabulary are understood together. Clear explanation is followed by guided conversation, so fluency grows from knowledge rather than guesswork.
Complete beginners, returning learners and experienced speakers are welcome. Lessons can prepare you to take part more fully in family, professional and cultural life wherever Italian matters.
A beginner and an experienced speaker need different kinds of support
We'll create a foundation or rebuild Italian that has become rusty, with explanations that make the key patterns easier to remember and apply
Move beyond rehearsed phrases and take part naturally when Italian connects with your relationships, career or future plans.
Improve range, precision and spontaneity through challenging discussion, carefully selected texts and correction
We begin by identifying your strengths, the areas you find most difficult and what you want to achieve. In each lesson, a grammar point is explored within a broader vocabulary topic and then put into practice. There is always plenty of space to explore questions and language that come up naturally.
Feedback is direct and constructive. Optional work between lessons can help reinforce vocabulary and grammar.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, please give at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible. This helps me manage the timetable fairly and offer the slot to another learner.
Payment is preferably made once a month, in advance, for the lessons scheduled during the following month. Payment is by bank transfer, and I will confirm the amount and payment details in advance. For greater scheduling flexibility, you can also book a block of 5 or 10 lessons to use over an agreed period.
Tell me your current level, what you want to achieve and when you are available. I’ll recommend a suitable next step.
