Tutor Irene

Irene is a treasure. Organized, patient, supportive--and she speaks so beautifully. What a musical speaking voice on which to model your accent. In our house, she teaches both a seven year old and a forty-two year old student with excellence and grace.

Irene is able to explain the subtle distinctions between what I am trying to say and what I am actually saying. We were speaking in Italian, but her excellent understanding of English meant she knew how to explain in Italian in a way that would make sense to me. Today we went over commands I want to give others.

Splendido, come sempre! Grazie mille, Irene. Abbiamo cantato "Volare" insieme, e Irene gave me some tips on diction. Will work on those consonants! :) We also talked about different accents in Italy and many other things, and Irene explained some tricky use of the congiuntivo. Looking forward to the next lesson!

excellent introduction, very patient!

Irene è molto simpaticaaaaaaa! Lo svolgimento della lezione è molto piacevole e rilassato. Anche se il mio italiano non è fluente, riesce a capire velocemente cosa intendo e a correggere i miei problemi.

I just had a highly enjoyable first lesson with Irene. She is super friendly and an excellent teacher. The conversation with her, although my level is that of a beginner yet, was highly entertaining, witty and educative. I can recommend her to everyone who wants to learn, improve and practice italian!!!
