About Doriana
Hi! I’m Dory. I am a native Italian speaker, and I work daily between Italian and English in an international environment. Using both languages every day allows me to offer you authentic, natural Italian, along with clear and practical support for English speakers.
Outside of teaching, I work in the film industry as a CG Character Artist. I am deeply passionate about art, music, cinema, photography, philosophy, and poetry. I also practice yoga and mindfulness, which heavily influence my calm, attentive, and encouraging approach to education.
My Experience & Professional Background
I bring solid, proven experience to our lessons, so you can feel completely confident in your progress:
Two years as an Italian Tutor at Bournemouth University, supporting students in developing their conversation, pronunciation, and comprehension.
Over a year of dedicated private tutoring and online teaching on Preply, helping students of various levels build their fluency.
Because I use both languages constantly, I understand the specific challenges English speakers face when learning Italian. I know how to explain concepts in a simple, patient, and personalized way. I am completely invested in your growth and look forward to being your number one supporter on your language journey!

My Approach & Methodology
I believe that learning a language should be an exciting journey, not a chore. My lessons are highly interactive, dynamic, and structured to build your confidence from day one. I focus heavily on a practical approach, combining:
A Quick Grammar Warm-Up: We start each lesson with a brief, clear explanation of a grammatical concept, specifically tailored to how English speakers process Italian.
Practical Sentence Building: We immediately put that grammar into practice by creating real-life sentences together.
Interactive Games & Exercises: We use language games and dynamic activities designed to help you think faster in Italian and absorb vocabulary naturally.
Guided Conversation & Pronunciation: You will be speaking Italian right from the beginning in a relaxed, zero-pressure environment.
My Philosophy: Mistakes are Welcome!
I am incredibly patient, friendly, and encouraging. In my classes, every mistake is just a step closer to your goal. I create a warm, supportive space where you can experiment with the language, mess up, and grow without feeling self-conscious. I will be your number one supporter throughout your entire journey!
Lesson Length & Details
Typical Lesson Length: 60 minutes (can be adjusted based on your goals and schedule).
Format: Available globally online or in-person in the Byron Bay area.
Who These Lessons Are For
Because my material is fully personalized, I welcome all ages and proficiency levels: from absolute beginners taking their very first steps to advanced students looking to polish their fluency, comprehension, and pronunciation.
My Experience
I bring a wealth of practical teaching experience to our lessons. I spent two years working as an Italian tutor at Bournemouth University, and I have been actively doing private tutoring and teaching on Preply for more than a year.
Through these roles, I have specialized in supporting English-speaking students to develop their conversation, comprehension, and authentic pronunciation. Working daily in a high-level bilingual environment myself, I know exactly what challenges English speakers face and how to guide you step-by-step.
Whether you want to learn Italian for travel, family, work, or personal growth, I adapt every lesson to your unique personality and goals to make the experience both highly effective and genuinely enjoyable. Let’s start speaking Italian with confidence!
