About me
Ciao, I’m Luciana, your Italian teacher
A native Italian teacher and a language learner myself. I help English speakers finally speak Italian, in relaxed one-on-one lessons.

Why I teach the way I do
I’ve lived around the world, mainly in Australia and Spain, so I know how it feels to arrive somewhere new and not understand a word. Learning Spanish to fluency took me three years and plenty of mistakes.
It taught me what actually works: speaking from day one, clear explanations, and a teacher who makes you feel safe enough to try. That’s what I bring to every lesson.
My goal is simple: a relaxed lesson you look forward to, and Italian you can actually use.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me surfing, reading, traveling, or making friends with every animal I meet.
