About Irene
Ciao!
I am Irene, originally from Marsala, a beautiful coastal town in Sicily.
I started teaching Italian after graduating in Linguistics and Cultural Mediation from the University of Milan.
Since 2013 I have been teaching to children and adults in Australia and New Zealand.
I am passionate about sharing my language, culture and also my love for Italian food!
I have always loved languages and, thanks to my teaching career, I have met people from all over the world and learned about different languages and cultures, this is the best part of my job!

My teaching methodology is based on:
Full immersion - I am experienced in 'full immersion' teaching, this is the best way for you to absorb the spoken language faster and to grow your confidence in speaking, even at a beginner level.
Real conversations - The quickest and most enjoyable way to learn Italian is by using it in real conversations, this means studying useful words and sentence structures that help you speak in real situations.
Practice - Speaking a language is a practical skill, like riding a bike, the more you practice the easier it gets.
Fun - I also help people see the fun in language learning because if you enjoy it, you will learn it faster.
Italian online lessons for:
- All ages (children and adults), because it's never too late to learn a new language!
- All levels, from complete beginner to proficient
- Grammar, conversation, specialist language
- Italian for travel, to live and work abroad, for business
Lessons are adapted to suit the student's learning style and interests.

Perfect! Irene is a very professional and experienced tutor. She can access your level and adapt the lessons according to your capability. She is fun and we would chat (in italian mostly) for a bit before the formal lesson. It is perfect for me as I needed to practice speaking in addition to learn the grammar. She would send me notes and new words we went over during the lessons, and send reminder before the next lesson. I really enjoying working with Irene!

Irene is a fantastic teacher whose lessons are not only fun and engaging, but also rich in insight into Italian culture. She created a warm and encouraging atmosphere where I felt confident to speak and practise Italian right from the start. Irene is always well prepared and adapted her teaching to my level and learning style. I always looked forward to each lesson – studying with her is an absolute pleasure!
I contacted Irene for Italian language lessons for my upcoming trip to Italy (and because I'm genuinely interested in learning the language) and from the first moment we spoke I knew she was the right tutor for me.
Her approach is fully tailored to my needs – we found immediately the perfect balance between conversation, grammar and writing.
I feel really engaged mostly because Irene makes it super fun. Couldn't recommend her more.
Thank you Irene, can't wait to go to Italy and put into practice all I've learned so far.I feel very blessed to have met Irene. Not only is she a great tutor that prioritises the welfare and education of her students, but she is also a kind and patient soul and a wonderful person to know
Irene has made learning Italian an enjoyable process. She is well prepared, encouraging, and good at explaining grammar and language nuances. I thoroughly enjoy the Italian cultural information about festivals, foods, and activities that are included in many of the lessons. Her positive teaching style has made me feel comfortable as a beginner about speaking, even when I stumble or forget some of the words or tenses. She is an excellent tutor.
Irene is a very professional tutor with plenty of material for beginner to advanced learners. She has a great curriculum lined up but was also flexible with the lesson topics and was happy to focus on what I wanted to learn about or go on a complete tangent with whatever questions I had. She is very patient takes time to answer questions about Italian life and culture too!
I loved my sessions with Irene! She was always prepared for our lessons with material that was challenging but suitable for my individual level. Grazie mille Irene!
