Welcome to The Language Tavern
Where The Fun and Excitement Happens….
The Language Tavern is a language school dedicated to teaching adults who wants to learn new languages in a fun and exciting way.
I offer lessons in Italian and English, with more languages being added to the curriculum all the time thanks to my growing team of incredibly talented teachers. My lessons are geared around you, the way you learn and what you want to achieve. I can offer group classes or one to one lessons, with flexible timetables both in person and online. I don’t follow a set lesson plan either – instead I work with experience and real-life examples and adapt my lessons and their content to suit your needs. Want to know how to order a beer in an Italian bar? Sure! Need the best way to communicate with your elderly grandparents who only speak Italian? No problem!
In short – I work with you to ensure you learn a new language that you will use and have fun while doing it.

Learn Languages Your Way
Our ethos is all about genuine understanding and functional speaking of a foreign language. At The Language Tavern, I work with you to identify your learning style and what you need; I can create lessons that will help you reach your goal.
Whether you want to learn the language to connect with your family roots or to help you with business communications, I can help.
This Isn’t School!
One of the reasons I didn’t become a normal teacher is that I hate school. I think people learn better in a fun, informal environment with one-to-one support, so that’s what I provide.
Laughter is an absolute must in our classes, so you’ll quickly become familiar with my humour and be laughing at my jokes (in the right language, of course!)
More Than Just Words
Learning a new language isn’t just about learning what all the words mean and how to pronounce them. It’s also about exploring the culture, heritage and traditions of the people who speak it.
The Language Tavern lessons don’t just cover vocab, but immerse you in the world of the language.
Meet Your Tutor
Ciao, io sono Selene!
I’m a formally trained language teacher who can speak 3 languages fluently and I’m working on another 2 at the moment! I was born and studied in Pisa before moving to the UK to study tourism management. Then I discovered my love of teaching, and the rest, as they say, is history!
I believe that learning a language means understanding the people that speak it and their culture. It’s not a sterile process of acquiring and mastering rules. It’s a cultural journey, and one I will happily walk with you.
I’m also a big foodie, so you can expect to learn a lot about the culture’s foods and traditions too!
