Director & Spanish Teacher
¡Hola! I would like to give you the most warm welcome to our Multicultural Language Centre (MLC). My name is Liliana and I am the founder and director of this beautiful language school.
I was born in Mexico and moved to Australia in the 1990s, after living in several countries in Europe. Since my arrival in this wonderful country, I have been actively involved in the creation and promotion of multicultural events, independently and in conjunction with several organisations such as the Mexican Association of WA (FOMEX), and the Italian and Spanish Film Festivals, amongst others.
My initial professional qualifications are as an Interior Designer, however, having grown up in a household surrounded by language teachers, I developed a passion for languages and acquired a solid knowledge of Spanish grammar.
Later on, I had the opportunity to complete a Diploma in French Language and Culture at the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris, and a Spanish Teaching Diploma from the University of Guanajuato in Mexico.
The Multicultural Language Centre was born organically from weekly social gatherings at my house, where friends and work colleagues used to come to learn Spanish with me while enjoying some delicious Mexican food and often finishing at a salsa dancing session in the city. From this fun immersive experience where food, dancing, games, watching foreign films and doing other fun activities were integrated, in order to learn a new language, I decided to officially open the Multicultural Language Centre in 2011. Since then, and keeping the essence of its origins, together with my wonderful team, we have helped thousands of students learn Spanish, French and Italian.
As a learner of other languages myself, I understand the challenges involved and it would be my absolute pleasure to share with you my knowledge to make your learning experience fun and enjoyable.
Welcome to the Multicultural Language Centre!
Italian Teacher and School Coordinator
Ciao a tutti!
My name is Alessia and I have proudly been working at the Multicultural Language Centre as an Italian teacher and school coordinator since its origins in 2011.
I grew up in a small charming village in Sardinia called Seneghe, a little Italian gem where many people travel for its beautiful scenery, the sun, the fantastic food, and to have a good time.
After completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Italian Literature and Arts in the beautiful city of Florence, I extended my studies and completed my qualifications as a teacher of Italian as a Second Language.
Soon after, I started teaching Italian to foreigners, and moved overseas, first to Brighton in the south of England and then to Australia in 2010.
I love going to the cinema, taking long walks, reading (the last book I read was the latest Italian grammar manual of course), but most of all, I love teaching Italian and sharing
my culture with those who attend my classes!
As a School Coordinator, I also enjoy taking care of the administration and the students’ services at the school, and can solve almost any practical problem you may have when attending our language lessons.
I look forward to having the opportunity to meet you at one of my Italian courses, or at the Centre if you have any queries I can help you with.
A presto!
French Teacher
Bonjour! Parisian born and bred, I spent my first 30+ years in the heart of this romantic city before relocating to Sydney and then to Perth. My heart is still strongly connected to Paris and France, where I regularly return to visit family and friends and to imbibe the culture and academic developments.
After a degree in Economics at Paris-Dauphine, I decided to turn my attention towards languages and pursued a diploma in Language and Civilisation at the prestigious University of La Sorbonne of Paris before coming to Australia…
Since 2002 I have been providing French tuition to both children and adults, through mainstream educational institutions and via word of mouth. Through joyous learning, warmth, and demeanour, my classes have proven very popular, for both adults and children, in individual or groups.
I thrive on teaching primary and secondary school students, helping them achieve excellent ATAR results, for both private and public schools. My vast experience provides a wealth of knowledge that I eagerly share for the benefit of all. Languages are my passion and my journey and it is always a great pleasure to meet the students of the MultiCultural Language Centre, offering a unique way of learning.

Italian Teacher
Hi there!
I am Ester and Rome is my beautiful city.
I had the privilege of living and breathing the atmosphere of a city rich in history and millenary culture, which has nourished my curiosity towards other cultures.
I have been teaching Italian in Perth for about 4 years now and the Multicultural Language Centre is like my second home.
I started studying languages from the age of 14, deepening the study of classical Greek and Latin and related literature for 5 years. At the same age, I was also learning English. I finally graduated at Liceo Classico, a school of excellence for Italian studies.
I accomplished a Bachelor’s degree with Honours in Foreign Languages and Literature at the University La Sapienza of Rome, where I studied Russian and Bulgarian languages.
More recently, I completed my studies as a teacher of Italian as a second language.
I lived for two years in Russia and travelled around Europe. In 2014, I moved to Perth.
I find it wonderful to be able to share my passion for my own language and culture with my students.
As a teacher, I hope to convey my enthusiasm to them, so that they can use their knowledge to actively communicate in Italian, and better understand Italy and Italianity.

Hi everyone, my name is Raphael and I am a dual citizen Australian/French. I grew up in France, in the countryside of Brittany. Since my childhood, I had the privilege to learn both, French and English, as my parents use to speak these languages…
at home. I was also fortunate to be bathed in the traditional French culture surrounded by beautiful buildings, history, literature, and delicious local food.
I graduated in Video Production Engineering in 2009 in the city of Reims, before moving to Perth for extensive career opportunities. I am now proud to be part of the Multicultural Language Centre’s team.
I consider each of my French teaching sessions as an opportunity to create a positive experience for my students. I’m glad to be able to transmit what is important in my eyes, a beautiful culturally rich language that has been recognised
internationally for centuries.
I take every student seriously and I work hard to ensure that no one gets left behind in class. I’m looking forward to meeting you in the next French course, so we can have an amazing time together while you learn this beautiful language and meet great people along the way.
Italian Teacher
I was born in Palermo, Sicily, in 1983 in a big traditional Italian family. In 2006, I completed my degree with honors at Palermo University as Cultural Educator, and later, in Ragusa, I finished my studies in Languages and Oriental Culture.
During this time, I realised how much I loved studying languages and Culture and decided to follow the path of becoming a teacher of Italian as a Second Language and work internationally.
In 2007 I obtained these qualifications and a few years later, I completed my Masters in “Progettazione avanzata dell’insegnamento della lingua Italiana” at the University of Ca’ Foscari in Venice.
I love travelling and living in different cultural and linguistic environments. I lived in Egypt, Russia, England, and Italy, where I had the opportunity to approach different teaching methods.
Since April 2021, I have been living in Perth with my daughters and my husband, and I am very happy to work at the Multicultural Language Centre and to share my passion for the Italian language and culture with my students.
