About Us
We are a small Italian school in the heart of Dublin, next to Stephen's Green. We are a dynamic language school dedicated to fostering a passion for language and culture. We offer engaging and interactive Italian courses, both in group settings and through private lessons, to a diverse community of learners in Dublin. We are currently seeking enthusiastic and professional Italian teachers to join our team on a part-time basis. Group courses are organised into three 12-week terms throughout the year (January-April; April-July; September-December), and we also offer conversation courses in August (based on demand). Our group classes have a maximum of 8 students, and each lesson lasts an hour and a half.
Evening group classes run Monday through Thursday, with two sessions per evening: from 6:00 to 7:30 PM and from 7:45 to 9:15 PM. The number of groups and timetable assigned to each teacher depends on enrolment numbers and is therefore confirmed the week before classes begin.
Private lessons can start at any time during the year, offering flexible schedules and customised programs to meet students’ needs. These lessons are available in the mornings and afternoons, with timing arranged individually with teachers on a case-by-case basis.

Part-Time - 12 hours per week in the evening time for group courses (from 6 pm to 7.30 pm and 7.45 pm to 9.15 pm from Monday to Thursday) with the possibility of some morning/afternoon private classes. There will be some training before classes start.
