About me

I offer Italian lessons and English lessons to non-english speakers at a very reasonable rate. I use a proven method to improve your level of either English and/or Italian! Bilingual in both languages, I can take you by the hand in either language to full fluency. Cost for an hour and a half bespoke personalised lesson is €30 euros (£25). I aim to focus on your needs along with providing an insight into the literature, culture and history of the language. I think it’s important for the English learner to appreciate the importance of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, William Blake, Aldous Huxley and Oscar Wilde in British and Irish literature. It’s important to understand how they have shaped modern British and Irish culture; how some of the idioms we use today have come from their literature. Similarly in Italian it’s important to appreciate how Dante Alighieri and Alessandro Manzoni forged the Italian language and Italian psyche into what it is today. Quotes about Italy; “The Italian ethos is based on living life well and to the fullest and that joy of living remains even in these times”. Steve McCurry. ”Italy is a dream that keeps returning for the rest of your life.” Anna Akhmatova. ”We are all pilgrims who seek Italy.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Get in touch. David
