Woodside, NY Italian Lessons

Hi Future Students,

If you love the Italian culture and would like to learn how to speak Italian, I'm your girl!! I studied for 4 years in college and moved there for some time. I can help you with your hw and I can also help you, if you just want to learn some basic phrases to get around.

Being a native Italian and having lived in Rome for over 30 years gives me the necessary knowledge to know what is needed in order to learn the Italian language and get deeper into the Italian culture. Also having over 20 years of teaching experience allows me to tailor my knowledge to the need of every particular student. I really enjoy to transfer my knowledge and solve the unique problems that every student encounter during their path.

I provide fun/customized lessons based on the student's goals. I believe that desire to learn a language is the only way that makes a student want to learn, and therefore I try to minimize English speaking during the lessons. I also give homework exercises for the students to do between lessons. Unless requested, my lessons are intermixed with grammar, conversation, customs/traditions. My goal is to make certain that each student finds Italian as exciting as I do, and wishes to continue the learning process, and become comfortable with me and the Italian language.

I was born in Italy and lived there for 36 years. I went to school there and I have a Bachelor Degree from one of the oldest Universities in Europe, the University of Verona. Before college, I attended the Liceo Linguistico, where I extensively studied Italian Grammar in connection to Latin, French and German. I can honestly say I master the Italian grammar in all of its structures.
I have been working in Customer Service for an American Bank in Italy for the last 10 years. In addition to that, I have been tutoring students of different ages, Elementary School all the way to High School, since I was in college. The subjects I covered were for the most part English, Italian and Math. I was also tutoring adults who wanted to learn English as beginners or improve their conversation skills. I loved my job at the bank, but at the same time there was nothing more satisfying than seeing my students succeed: I have always enjoyed helping people improve their communication skills and improve ...

I am passionate about helping people communicate and understand each other in other languages.

I was born and raised in Rome, Italy and lived around the world for the past 10 years. I have a Master in Global Management and work in the Translation industry.

Are you preparing the speech at your wedding with an Italian partner? Are you planning a trip to Italy? Do you want your kids to grow bi-lingual? I am here to engaged you and make this a fun learning journey.

I think one of best ways to learn a language is through music. Let's pick a song and figure out the rest! I also love to travel and will be happy to prepare you for your next trip ( tips, restaurants, local sayings, etc).
I am looking forward to meeting you!

I'm an Italian teacher in my 30's. I teached Italian in Italy (Milan) at primary school, thus I know very well what could be the troubles for the beginners and how to fix it as quick as students can. In addition, I'm a graduated in Economics and Management (M. Sc.).

I am a native Italian experienced teacher, very passionate about my language and culture and about teaching them.
I am a very dedicated and supportive teacher. We’ll focus on your expectations and need (from school tests to travelling) according to your learning ability, style and pace. With me, you will learn in a focused but relaxed atmosphere that will encourage your motivation and make you feel comfortable.
My goal is to improve students results but also to make their experience with the Italian language as enjoyable and stimulating as possible. Because the most rewarding part of my job is not only students' progress, but also their smile at the end of the lesson.

I grew up in an Italian household. I’ve lived in Italy while growing up, until I was seven. I’ve studied the language and am passionate about teaching more about the culture and beauty of Italy.
I majored in journalism and Italian literature, I taught elementary students Italian for a year!
