Ciao! Mi chiamo Irene 👩🦰
I’m from Tuscany and I live in Seville. I have a humanities background and I’ve been working with Italian language and culture for years. I love literature, music, current affairs, and anything that comes from connecting different cultures. I’ve travelled a lot, which helps me understand what it feels like to learn a new language, its challenges and its rewards. That’s why I create practical, engaging lessons shaped around your interests and your goals.

Me as a Teacher
I’m a communicative and empathetic teacher. For me, a lesson is first and foremost an authentic conversation, not an interrogation. I like to create a calm, supportive space where asking questions, making mistakes, and trying again feels natural. I’m dynamic and curious: I love learning as much as teaching, and I enjoy sparking students’ curiosity with engaging topics, varied activities, and materials connected to everyday real life.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are varied and dynamic. We can focus more on grammar and building a solid structure, or lean into conversation and a more natural, everyday use of Italian. I adapt to each student’s needs and shape the learning path around your goals, your level, and your interests. I use a mix of materials - from coursebooks to multimedia content like videos, songs, articles, and podcasts - to keep learning effective, personalized, and never boring.

I had my first lesson with Irene and it was a great experience. She immediately adapted the lesson for my needs and asked thoughtful questions to assess my level, which made the lesson feel very personalized. I especially appreciated that she asked how I prefer to be corrected instead of interrupting me while I was speaking, that made me feel comfortable and confident. Her energy is lively and engaging. I'm really looking forward to continuing lessons with her.
