About Irene
I'm native Italian, born and raised in Turin, Italy.
I started teaching my native almost 20 years ago and have always been very passionate about it. I truly care about my students progress, there is nothing more interesting to me than their success. In fact I tailor my lessons to the specific needs of each one of them so that they can reach their goals and become fluent.
Over the years I have developed my own teaching method and my students make progress fast and easily. Conversation is at the base of my method. I engage my students consistently, even at the very beginning stages. You will get out of your first lesson feeling like you can already speak Italian!
I teach one on one lessons and group classes at all levels, as well as crash and intensive courses for people who want to get ready for an imminent trip to Italy or just want to dive in and learn the language as if they were there.
Last but not least, I am also available for film and TV coaching. I have a very refined ear, I'm the perfect person to work with if you need to work on your accent and pronunciation. I work with both actors and singers.

“My coworkers and I had the pleasure of working with Irene for over a year to learn Italian! We work for an Italian soccer team and needed someone who could come to the office a few times a week to teach us a little Italian. Given our lessons were during the workday, we needed someone who could be flexible with our scheduling and Irene certainly was. She also customized and catered lessons to our needs based on upcoming events or the specific situations we would be needing to know certain Italian conversation. Our lessons at the office became something we all looked forward to and truly enjoyed thanks to Irene’s fun personality. Grazie mille a Irene...she’s the best!”

“I’ve been having a great experience with Irene as my Italian language instructor. She’s a native Italian and speaks English just as well. More importantly she is a great teacher, not just because she speaks Italian, but because she has an academic understanding of how to teach language and grammar. Most of all, I enjoy my lessons with her because she makes me feel comfortable despite my constant mistakes - which thankfully are becoming fewer!”
“I started as a total beginner. Lessons consist of not just vocabulary and grammar but culture, current events, improving my ear for the accent etc./ecc. It makes perfect sense that a musician makes a great language teacher. Irene’s instruction provides an opportunity to discover finer details of language, both Italian and American. Ultimately it has become a small and enriching daily practice.”
