Italian may not be a 'business' language, yet it is so culturally important in many ways. Who doesn't love Italian design and fashion, Italian art and music, holidays in Italy and, of course, Italian food and wine?!

I lived in Italy for 30 years so have experience of its charm...

I offer tailor-made courses, with defined, verifiable goals. using a variety of appropriate resources to create a lively and enjoyable lesson. Whatever the students’ level, I believe language is communication and student confidence is essential!

About Me
When I started my professional language services business in 2008, I chose as a tagline ‘Enabling Understanding’. To me, this expressed the driving vision behind my translation, interpreting and teaching services.

Depending on the student’s age and aims, I always try to teach using a variety of appropriate resources to create a lively and enjoyable lesson.

I believe language is communication and student confidence is essential!
