Italian with Hannah
About me


Ciao! I'm Hannah, known by my Italian friends as 'Annnnna'! I first fell in love with Italy on a trip to Tuscany at the impressionable age of 16. I went on to gain a first in Italian and History of Art at uni, then lived the dolce vita in Rome for eight years.
I've trained as a language teacher and taught Italian, English & French. Italian is absolutely la mia lingua preferita!
friendly group classes in Shoreham-by-sea
My teaching style
I create each lesson bespoke to suit my students' needs/interests, rather than using a course-book, & our lessons are conversation-based so you'll be speaking Italian from the very first class!
I love teaching grammar as it provides the quickest shortcut to gaining fluency, while also bringing in topic-based vocabulary (family, holidays, eating out, etc.)


Italian courses!
More classes coming soon!
