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!

Irene has been an amazing tutor and a huge help in my Italian journey. She’s not only a great conversationalist, making our sessions really enjoyable, but also brilliant at helping with grammar and correcting mistakes in a way that really sticks. Her feedback is always clear and supportive, which has made a big difference in my progress. She helped me through my GCSE in Italian, and now supporting me as I study for my A Level. I’ve learned so much thanks to her patient and encouraging approach. If you’re looking for someone who’s friendly, skilled, and can really help you improve your Italian, I highly recommend Irene!

Irene is a very patient and friendly tutor
