I am a patient and kind tutor interested in teaching the Italian language. I teach school-age students as well as adults in-person and on-line.
I am a native Italian speaker and I like to work with students of all levels. I have experience working with students who are learning the basics of the Italian language as well as with students who wish to improve their already advanced knowledge of the language, practice conversation and improve their pronunciation.
I am happy to adapt the lesson's format to the students' preferences and to accept suggestions.
During the lessons there is always time for the students to ask questions and clarifications.
I do my best to keep the lessons as relaxed and fun as possible for the students who are learning Italian as a pure interest, the one who are getting ready for a journey as well as for the ones who wish to improve their high school or college grades.
When a lesson contains information about grammatical rules, I write a summary so the students can review them in their own time.

Good first lesson

Silvia was able to determine how to proceed based on what I most need to review, and corrected/explained as we went along. She sent me a summary if some key points shortly after class.

Practical approach to learning the language

Stitching language principals, grammar, etc. with day to day usage of the language. Silvia remains flexible and tailors the lessons to right pace and useability, but at the same time covering the foundational elements.

Knowledgeable and organized tutor

Silvia tutored my son for an Italian exam. I sent her a mock test and she was able to determine what he should study, organize and review it with him. He had 3 lessons with her and felt that she explained it well and helped him understand the subject. I would recommend her as a tutor and hire her again if needed

Wonderful Italian Tutor

We went over the different Italian prepositions and there are lots! We talked about different ways of saying "Good morning", and how to reply to them. Then I learned a few new verbs. Overall, an hour is not enough to learn since there are soooo much to know. Silvia is AWESOME! She's very attentive, friendly and pleasant. Thank you Silvia!

Very patient tutor

worked on my conversational skills and she provided written Italian transcript of our conversation. Very helpful to review and see the written form of our discussion.

Silvia is wonderful

Silvia is wonderful! I can’t wait to continue my lessons with her so I can improve my Italian! She is very kind & doesn’t make me feel embarrassed. I love that in a tutor.

Such a relief

My daughter is a Junior in college and was struggling grasping her level 2 Italian class. After just 1 tutoring session with Silvia she got clarity with something that was a stumbling block. More importantly she’s not stressing anymore because she knows she can reach out to Silvia and schedule a tutoring session to get the one on one she needs to pass her Italian class.

Explains things fully

I like working with Silvia. She is patient and doesn't mind explaining things to me. She takes the time to make sure I fully understand a concept before moving on the the next item. Very personable. Makes learning fun !! I highly recommend.
