Italian lessons with Mara
Whether you’re planning a trip to Sicily, trying to connect with family, or finally tackling that lifelong goal—you shouldn't have to wait months to feel confident. We start speaking from Day 1!
Ciao, this is Mara, your Italian teacher.I am a native speaker with years of teaching experience. I was born in the north of Italy many moons ago and I have lived in many parts of the world. I know firsthand what it takes to speak another language and my mission is to support you to build not just the knowledge, but also the confidence needed to speak Italian from day 1.
Why choose my Italian lessons?
Communicative focus: Start speaking from day one. Lessons prioritise conversation, pronunciation, and listening so you can use Italian immediately — at work, while traveling, or with family.
Practical curriculum: Structured modules cover everyday topics (ordering food, directions, business conversations, phone calls, and cultural etiquette). Grammar is taught in context, not as isolated drills.
Flexible formats: One-on-one lessons, couple lessons, small-group classes, and intensive workshops available in person.
Measurable outcomes: clear milestones and practical projects like presentations, role-plays, real-life tasks so you see your improvement and build confidence.
Cultural insights: Learn how Italians actually speak — idioms, regional differences, social norms, and dining culture — so your language fits the context.
Special offers:
Package discounts for multi-session enrolments.
10 per cent discount if you bring a friend (porta un amico) to our group classes
Who benefits most?
Travellers who want to enjoy Italy beyond guidebooks.
Heritage speakers seeking fluency and literacy.
Students going to Italy on school exchange.
Anyone who wants to speak naturally and confidently.
