My Mission

I have always believed that learning a language is a matter of the heart. It shouldn't be a painful process, involving endless lists of words to memorise or dull translation exercises. 'You just need motivation, and those sparks of insight that will set your curiosity alight. Cuore Italiano was born out of a desire to ignite those sparks with my students.

What sets this project apart from other schools is an approach that aims to make your journey a holistic experience. At Cuore Italiano you will be taught with friendly professionalism, born out of years of teaching experience and also the most important ingredient: a love of the Italian language and culture. Over the course of 10 years I have met students of all ages, from a range of countries, each of them starting off at a different level and with distinct learning styles. I have grown to understand that, in order to master this multi-faceted process, you have to immerse yourself in a language and the culture that surrounds it.

Whether you want to learn Italian for fun, for work or for any other reason, we will make your journey a 360-degree experience. We'll explore Italian not only in the written word; we'll play games in Italian, sing Italian songs, and learn together to think as an Italian. In no time you will find yourself communicating in a foreign language, with confidence and fluency.

Learning a language will provide you with a window into a whole culture. Once you are immersed in this culture, you will not only be able to speak and liaise with locals, but also to understand a mentality. We'll discover the exciting history behind everyday expressions, and dive into the development and true meaning of familiar Italian words. No matter what your initial level, we can work together to achieve your final goals. All you need is enthusiasm, I'll bring the rest.

I see each lesson as unique, just like my students. My mission is to build a tailor-made programme around your needs and learning style. Are you a visual or an auditory learner? Or maybe a kinaesthetic one? Don't worry! Together we'll discover your ideal learning strategy and use it to harness your potential. Together we are going to find it out and to use the best learning strategy to enhance your potential. Each lesson will be devised with a specific goal and always with your passions and interests in mind. Each lesson will be made for you, only you, with care.
