Meet Your Teacher
The teacher behind The Language Bridge
My name is Irene, and I am a certified language teacher from Florence, Italy, with more than ten years of experience teaching Italian and Spanish to students from around the world.
My lessons combine clear language instruction with culture, conversation, grammar, pronunciation, travel, and everyday communication. For Italian students, I also bring in references to art, history, food, museums, and daily life in Italy, and I am certified to help students prepare for the CILS Italian language exam.
I hold advanced degrees in Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language, Audiovisual Translation, and Art History. Having lived in Spain and Chile, and speaking Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Italian, I bring an international perspective to every lesson.
My teaching style is personalized, interactive, and adapted to each student’s level, goals, and learning style. Whether you want to improve your Italian, develop your Spanish, prepare for travel, or build confidence in conversation, I will help you move forward step by step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What languages do you teach?
I teach both Italian and Spanish online, including conversation, grammar, pronunciation, travel language, culture, and personalized language support. Italian CILS exam preparation is also available.
Are the lessons online or in person?
Lessons are primarily offered online, so students can learn from anywhere in the world. You only need a stable internet connection, a quiet place to speak, and a device with camera and audio.
Who are the lessons for?
Lessons are designed mainly for adult learners at beginner, intermediate, or advanced levels. They are a good fit for students learning Italian or Spanish for travel, conversation, relocation, culture, study, or exam preparation.
Do I need to already know Italian or Spanish?
No. Beginners are welcome. Lessons can start from the basics, or they can be adapted for students who already know some Italian or Spanish and want to improve their confidence, grammar, pronunciation, or conversation skills.
Can you help me prepare for the CILS exam?
Yes. CILS exam preparation is available for students who want targeted support with Italian grammar, reading, listening, writing, and speaking. Lessons can be adapted to your level and the part of the exam you need to strengthen.
