Reconnecting with Perth

More than twenty years ago, Perth became the place where my journey as an Italian teacher truly began.

Living and teaching in Western Australia gave me the opportunity to share my language and culture with Australian students, build meaningful connections, and discover the enthusiasm that so many people in Perth have for Italy.

Those years left a lasting impression on me and remain an important part of who I am as a teacher today.

Now, from Italy, I continue to teach Italian online and work with students from different parts of Australia. As I look back on my teaching journey, I feel grateful for the experiences and friendships that started in Perth.

This page is dedicated to reconnecting with the Perth community that played such an important role in my professional life.

For many people, learning Italian starts with a dream.

Perhaps you are planning a trip to Italy, exploring your family heritage, or simply fascinated by Italian culture, food, art and lifestyle.

Italian is a beautiful language that opens the door to authentic experiences and deeper cultural connections.

Whatever your reason, learning Italian can be an exciting and rewarding journey.

Today I offer personalised online Italian lessons designed to help students learn with confidence and enjoyment.

Lessons can be tailored to:

• Complete beginners
• Travellers preparing for a trip to Italy
• Conversation practice
• Grammar and language development
• Students of all ages and backgrounds

Online lessons make it easy to learn from Perth while connecting directly with a native Italian teacher based in Italy.

Perth will always be special to me because it is where my teaching story began.

After more than twenty years, I would love to reconnect with the people of Western Australia and continue sharing my passion for the Italian language and culture with a new generation of students.

If you are based in Perth and would like to learn Italian, I would be delighted to meet you.
