Learning Italian as an adult means meeting you where you are. I run group lessons for beginner, intermediate and more advanced adult students — including relaxed “mums and coffee” sessions and after-hours classes.

EnquireTrip-ready, fast
Planning a trip? I can focus your vocabulary on the things you’ll actually use; ordering in restaurants and cafés, greetings, hotels, booking tickets and meet-and-greet basics. We’ll tour the map of Italy region by region, with the typical foods and products of each, plus the essential verbs to tie it together.

What we cover
The important elements in learning a language are grammar — always grammar — pronunciation and vocabulary, and reading to reinforce it all. My lessons keep these in balance. Whether I'm teaching children or adults, repetition matters as much as variety. Everything can be tailored to you, but from the outset we'll build the basics first.
My library is extensive — I teach with a variety of textbooks, novels, poems, music and websites.
Send an enquiry with a few details about yourself and why you want to learn.
…then…
I’ll reply within two business days and we’ll shape a course that fits your goals, level and week.
…and so…
Regular lessons, a real balance of skills, steady progress — and a great deal of warmth.
Not a word. I teach complete beginners through to advanced students, and we build from wherever you are.
Both. I teach online, and in person here in Canberra. Private classes run during the daytime, Monday to Friday — mornings and afternoons available.
Always. Every course is shaped around your goals, your level and your reasons for learning — whether that’s a trip to Italy, family, your children’s schoolwork, or pure enjoyment.
