Learners who have studied the language before and can have a conversation about themselves and get by in typical tourist situations.

This course is to get you speaking and the more you do in and outside of class (with our online support), the more confident you will become. Come and meet like-minded people and have fun speaking Italian in the pub!
The group got larger in September but we put emphasis on speaking and start our lessons with 15-20 minutes of speaking time, and the lesson has been lengthened to 1h15. f you are unsure of your level, please get in touch. We can help you upskill and gain confidence. Not everyone who attends a class has exactly the same level. Email [email protected]
Bonjour/Ciao/¡Hola! I’m French-Italian and I speak Spanish. Growing up on the French Riviera near Italy sparked my love for languages. I studied Music and Languages then moved to the UK for 9 months, and several decades later, I'm still here!
After successfully using my languages in Banking and IT, I became a language teacher and have been teaching for the past 20+ years. I am cheerful, patient and enthusiastic. I am good at helping people of all levels overcome their fear of speaking a foreign language, focusing on building confidence and having fun.
Holidays are spent in France, Italy or Spain with my husband and our two boys, who are brought up bilingually in French but are also learning Spanish and Italian.
I sing in my spare time, walk the dog, look after friends' dogs and grow plants, usually fruit and veg. I love foraging so my children are used to eating "spinach" of dubious provenance. I also teach GCSE and A Level to whomever needs a boost with their exams.
