"My goal has always been this: help people use the language from the very first lesson."

How I Began


I am Lorella and here is how I began "Italian Lessons in Tuscany".


During a three-month trip to the United States in 2003, friends said, “You are so good with languages, I wish I could speak Italian!” They then asked me to teach them. Something in their eyes and voices made me love the idea of helping those who are passionate about learning the Italian language. A bell rang in my head and the adventure began!

My Way of Teaching


I have teaching experience with school levels from kindergarten up to high school. I taught evening courses with immigrants of different backgrounds and cultures. I've worked with tourists of all ages.


The main goal of language instruction is communication. I want to help you be understood. Mistakes are not an issue; we learn by making mistakes even if we as adults tend to forget that. What you can do is to make mistakes, learn, and have fun!
