ABOUT ME

REBECCA PIU

Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced courses;

Based online and in the Clare and Galway areas, my lessons blend grammar, conversation, and real-life cultural insights.

Learning doesn’t stop in the classroom: I also organise Italian meet-ups, including cultural afternoons, café chats, and restaurant outings, giving students the chance to practise their Italian in a relaxed, authentic setting.

​"I have been learning Italian online with Rebecca for the past 18 months and I can honestly say she is the most amazing  teacher I have ever come across.

Rebecca's classes are always interesting, informative and so much fun.

Each lesson is full of variety and her notes are excellent.

Rebecca is a wonderful teacher who has a remarkable way of inspiring confidence in one's abilities and of enabling each student to maximise their potential. Rebecca is warm, friendly and supportive in every way.

Her passion for her country, its culture and her native language is infectious and has inspired me to continue my Italian journey.

Grazie mille Rebecca."

"Rebecca is a great teacher with such patience,

I wouldn't have passed my LC exams without her, thank you!!!"

- Robyn Mele, Leaving Cert student

"Learning Italian with Rebecca is an absolute delight. She is an exceptional teacher - enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about sharing her native Italian language and culture. In every class, Rebecca brings the essence of Italy to life, from its beautiful language to its history, culinary traditions, and vibrant heritage. It is a genuine pleasure to join the group every week and explains why I return year after year!

Rebecca radiates warmth and understanding, creating an atmosphere where every learner, regardless of your level, feels supported and motivated. While we often laugh over challenging verbs and tricky grammar, the experience is always uplifting and fun.  

If you would like to learn Italian in a way that is inspiring, enjoyable, and truly authentic, Rebecca’s classes are outstanding.

Highly recommended!"

"I have enjoyed Italian lessons online with Rebecca for the last 2 years.

She teaches in a fun, interactive way and never puts anyone under pressure; she takes it in bite size pieces even though what we are learning may be challenging on the night.

Before joining Rebecca's class I had basic Italian and now my grasp of the language has improved immensely. I am much more confident speaking. She is a brilliant teacher and I look forward to our class every week.

Long may she continue with us.

Grazie mille Rebecca."

- Pat O' Neill

"I have been studying Italian with Rebecca for over 3 years. To say I enjoy the
classes is an understatement!

I really look forward to the lessons each week.
Rebecca uses a variety of approaches in her lessons...games, quizzes, interactive activities, interesting texts, listening exercises, etc. Not only are we learning the Italian language but Rebecca is always teaching us something new about the culture and traditions of Italy, the food, the festivals, the songs, le sagre, books, films, etc. It is like being transported to Italy each week!
Rebecca is a very positive, patient and friendly person and creates a really welcoming atmosphere in her classes. She is a very committed, dedicated and supportive teacher and it’s truly been a pleasure to learn from her."

- Pauline Roycroft

"After almost 20 years away from teaching languages, I returned to the classroom as an Italian student with some trepidation.
Rebecca is the perfect teacher – she is always bright and cheery, and she has a fun way of getting us to learn. Our weekly lessons are thoughtfully designed to captivate interest while valuable insights into Italian culture, geography, and, all from a native speaker who excels in English when needed.
I have already chosen Italy as my 2026 holiday destination confident that I should not get lost or starve! Rebecca is a born teacher, she is non-judgemental and always acknowledges our achievements. I always leave her lesson having learned something new and looking forward to the next session.
Grazie mille, Rebecca!"
