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!

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!

Italian level: you should be able to hold a conversation, but we don't expect perfection! Rusty vocab, questionable grammar and 'silly' mistakes are all warmly welcomed ;)

"Hannah is a great teacher, and makes the subject fun. She has huge background knowledge of Italy, which keeps the lessons interesting. She has always allowed me to learn at my own pace, and is endlessly patient!"
