Irene

Irene is an amazing teacher! She is very knowledgeable and communicative, and her teaching style focuses on both the language itself AND the cognitive processes behind language learning, which is extremely helpful (and fascinating). Furthermore, she is very kind to customize the lessons to each student's specific needs -- I, for example, am learning Italian for work purposes and she has been so thoughtful to build our lessons around this specific topic and its vocabulary/real-life applications. I look forward to continuing my studies with Irene and highly recommend her if you are in search of an Italian teacher!

It has to be said: Irene is an exceptionally gifted instructor. She is highly attentive to what students want to achieve, to what they might need in order to reach their goals, and also to what might be hindering them, psychologically or otherwise. She has a deep curiosity about what goes on inside the head/brain of the L2 learner -- a curiosity that has led her to explore the relevant neuroscientific findings. This same passion for discovery is reflected in the joy she demonstrates when, together, she and her students uncover underlying motivations or discover strategies and tricks for understanding more deeply the structures of the language. Always full of encouragement, always down to earth and approachable, Irene is a top-notch facilitator of Italian language-learning.

Thank-you Irene for making my day better!! So appreciate your affirmations!

Irene is a great teacher! She has helped me along the journey of learning this beautiful language for over a year now. Irene is very nice and friendly. I have never felt odd or out of place during our lessons. The lessons are fun and challenging to the perfect degree. I have improved my Italian by the exercises and routines we go through during our lessons, and she gives honest feedback and gauges the level of the lesson based on your knowledge and ability. in other words, she provides the proper lesson according to your strengths and weaknesses. I can honestly say our lessons together have paid off a lot!

Irene makes learning so much fun!! The time flies by and I'm making progress as well!

Irene è un’allenatrice straordinaria. Spero che tu abbia l’opportunità di lavorare con lei.
