I have a master's degree in Italian Studies (University of Pittsburgh), and a master's degree in TESL (Kent State University). I specialize in teaching communicative Italian, as well as how Italian works as a language through grammar, effective language learning strategies, literature and culture. My academic interests are differentiated instruction, vocabulary retention, and learning theories in general. Additionally, I studied at the University of Siena, Italy, worked at Italian companies (Alitalia and Pirelli), lived in Europe for several years and traveled extensively.
My goal is to help my students become autonomous users of Italian. I value using the target language in the classroom in order to increase students’ exposure to meaningful language that is used in real life.
Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions, for personal tutoring or group lessons.

Her class is practical, well-organized and fun!

I am learning Italian from English. (My mother tongue is Japanese.) I started learning it from scratch in April. My goal is to be able to interact with locals on my planned trip to Italy next year. Isin is constantly adjusting the class to meet my needs and ability. A balanced mix of conversation practice and grammar exercises makes the class effective and efficient. Her practical teaching keeps me interested in grammar, which, otherwise, would be intimidating. Above all, she is cheerful, patient and approachable. All of those things keep me going. I highly recommend her for language learning.

Truly Tailored Experience

I've taken several lessons with Isin now and she is great at continually asking for feedback and tweaking our lessons to be the most useful for me. I get great experience speaking and listening in each lesson and she is always available to answer any questions I have outside of class. Isin is wonderful!

Excellent and Encouraging Tutor

Isin is an excellent tutor who is very knowledgeable and patient. This was my first time working with the Italian language, and she provided a safe and encouraging space for me to practice. I'm very much looking forward to continuing our lessons.

Işın is the best Wyzant instructor I have worked with

I have worked with many language tutors from Wyzant, and I can confidently say that Işın is one of the best tutors one can work with. I have never had a Wyzant tutor write their own lessons like Işın, which was quite impressive to me. She is also very flexible and willing to answer questions outside of lesson times. It would be a mistake to not choose Işın as a tutor if you are a beginner looking to learn Turkish.

Friendly, Ease of Comfort

Isin is friendly and easy to feel comfortable with; I had no concern to make errors and work through them with her. She responded quickly for our appointment with only one day of notice. She was knowledgeable and you feel that she loves to teach and wants you to learn and excel with her mother tongue. This was our first appointment together and I immediately luv'd her.

Tessa, 2 lessons with Isin

She was absolutely delightful as well as knowledgeable. She was easy to work with and very professional. I give her an A plus rating.

I needed help with some Italian pronunciations. She was proficient and had a skillful command of the language. I am completely satisfied.

Wonderful Tutor

Isin is thoughtful, helpful, and very well-organized. I like her process of learning a new language. Her style of tutoring is exceptional. Update: I'm a non-traditional (older) student who is learning a second language for the first time. Isin has been very patient, knowledgeable, and thorough, including introducing additional resources I can access to complement my studies. She is by far the best language teacher with whom I have worked.

Excellent Tutor

Isin is a great tutor, very patient and works very well on an individual basis and is genuinely interested in my goals in learning Italian. I am very pleased with her teaching skills and tactics and am looking forward to taking my next lesson with her. She is well prepared and thought out, she had lessons ready for me even though she did not know me or my level of the language, so I was very impressed. I absolutely believe Isin will help me become more confident and fluent in Italian. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Italian, Turkish or Dutch!
