Italian teacher
Samantha was born in San Remo and raised in Imperia, both are cities in the region of Liguria known as the "Riviera dei Fiori" - the flower region. Imperia is one of the provinces of the region. Historically it was also capital of the part of the Liguria region once known as Intemelia. Born to an Italian father and an English mother Samantha has had constant exposure to both English and Italian whilst growing up, hence her competence and understanding of both languages.
At the age of 16, Samantha moved from Italy to London where she has lived ever since. It is rare to meet a native Italian speaker who when speaking English, leaves no trace of an Italian accent. "Most English people assume I was born and raised in London".

Ever thought of learning a new language? Have you ever felt like a fish out of water abroad, stuck with no knowledge of the local language? Ever thought of taking measures so that you can feel at home abroad? Well what are you waiting for?!
My service draws on many years of experience to provide an efficient and personal tutoring service to students of all ages seeking help with learning a new language. Tuition is available for all levels, from complete beginner to those wishing to improve upon current skills:
An English couple, wishing to learn basic Italian before embarking on a move to Tuscany...
A Doctor, wishing to improve their communication with his patients for whom Italian was a first language...
An Opera Soprano, wishing to learn the language that she would soon be singing!...
An English `Italianophile`, wishing to learn from absolute beginner to good conversational level for the first of many holidays...
A young Londoner of Italian immigrant parents, wishing to master the language that he had never really studied with them!
I recognise the importance of catering for a student's individual needs on a one-to-one basis, and truly feel that this is the quickest route to success and has been proven true countless times in the past with many-a-happy student. I also believe that hard work is a key feature of learning. Learning a whole new language wont come easy and if you are prepared to put in the work, I can guarantee results quicker than you would have ever imagined!
