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.

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!

Irene is patient and kind, a pleasure to learn Italian with her!

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.

Irene is excellent at teaching both adults and youth. She works well with my teenagers. Grazie mille!

I can hardly believe how much I learn from Irene every time we speak. And I really look forward to our lessons -- she has helped me stick with Italian and want to learn more and more.
