Very patient with us.

We are very disorganized. She was patient and kind!! My son is a teenager. Although he is bright, his organizational skills are lacking. I am a working mother with little time to devote to assisting him. Antonella was very patient assisting him with getting started.

La prima lezione con Antonella

Ho guisto somesso una rivista per Antonela, ma sole le stelle, no u n rivista scritta. Non sono stato pronto di inviarla, ma qualcosa e' successo e era somesso. Ho fatto un sbaglio. Se potessi cambiarene il numere de stelle da quatro a cinque, sarebbe bene. Ero molto soddisfatto con la istruzione e la paziencia di Antonella mi ha mostrato (?) Era un piacere studiare con lei, e spero di continuarla nostra collobarazione (La giorno della nostra lezione, mi sono infermato con la influenza, e penso che la mia mente soffriva. Mi dispiace per la confusione.

Knowledgeable and well prepared

In our first lesson, Antonella took the time to understand my goals and my level, and we jumped into a structured lesson from a book. She took the time to explain things and and answer my questions.

Excellent Tutor

I began working with Antonella 3 months before a trip to Rome. My stay in Rome was greatly enhanced by our lessons prior to my trip. Antonella is patient, kind, and is fun to learn Italian with. As a native Italian speaker she has helped me tremendously with pronunciation. She is flexible and has various methods of teaching depending on the student. I am learning so much and having a great time doing it that I have decided to continue my lessons!

Totally Customizable

Antonella is super. She totally listened to how and what I hoped to learn. During our time together she applied her skills to fit my unique needs. I'm looking forward to our next session!

Helpful and supportive tutor

Antonella is good at meeting me where I am, and she’s very supportive. I really enjoy re-learning Italian with her. I highly recommend Antonella as a tutor. I wasn’t sure this would be something I would stick with, but I now think I will keep going until I’m fluent.

Terrific experience

Antonella is very patient and kind and interested in tailoring our experience to what will best suit my needs. She easily weaves grammar, culture and travel into our lesson. Mille grazie, Antonella!!

Rita, 6 lessons with Antonella

Excellent Tutor. Warm, engaging and interactive.

Excellent Tutor. Fun, inspiring, and so very knowledgeable, not only with the language itself, but in integrating the culture, and day-to-day life for living in Italy. Antonella is working in partnership with me, to focus on my needs, so we are customizing the lessons and shaping what is being learned, together. Fabulous! I've only had 2 lessons thus far, and will continue to pursue while here in the USA, as well as in Italy later this year. Michele
