Ciao! My name is Irene and I am an Italian language teacher. From a young age, I was very curious about other languages. Learning new languages has opened many doors to me both personally and professionally: I have had the chance to meet wonderful people and share my culture and it has also allowed me to develop my creativity and ability to adapt to new situations.

I have two degrees. First, I studied Literature and Philosophy, with a specialization in Performing Arts and Musicology at Università di Bologna. Then, I found a passion for Italian Sign Language and I studied to become a professional interpreter. Upon graduation, I began working as an interpreter as well as an Italian teacher to foreigners living in Italy.

I plan my lessons based on personal goals, learning styles and areas of need. Normally my teaching is centered on oral communication (speaking and listening). I include reading and writing in order to support the learning.

Based on the student’s level, I invite students to express themselves on different topics of personal interests, in order to acquire a vocabulary that will be useful for them. I also reserve some time to work on pronunciation: based on my experience, it really helps students to gain confidence when speaking spontaneously.

Each class, I spend a bit of time revisiting previous topics to ensure that the student feels comfortable with the language structures. I use Italian as much as possible and I offer explanations in English or Spanish when it is necessary.

HOBBIES: Singing, painting, playing mandolin, scuba-diving, swimming.

OTHER LANGUAGES: English, Spanish

FAVOURITE ITALIAN DISH: Culurgiones (Sardinia ravioli)

I started my learning experience with Irene approximately 3 years ago when I decided to learn Italian from scratch. At the beginning of our journey, Irene wanted to understand my goals and motivation which allowed her to structure our subsequent lessons accordingly and align their content to my long-term objectives. Today, I can speak Italian quite easily, which is of great help in my work. Moreover, I can read books for leisure in this beautiful language. Irene has been a great teacher, and I can only wholeheartedly recommend her to any potential students or schools. Irene always prepares for her lessons. She can also effortlessly engage the student in any conversation while considering her student preferences and interest for the given topic. During our lessons, Irene has combined the grammar with speaking and reading exercises, allowing me to work on every aspect of the language. I am looking forward to continuing our Italian journey to keep expanding my Italian skills.
