About
As a native Italian speaker and experienced ESL instructor with over 20 years in business, I’m truly passionate about what I do. My students often feel like family. I listen carefully, then tailor each lesson to your goals, pace, and learning style—whether you’re studying Italian, English, or both.
In our sessions, you’ll not only build strong language skills, but also gain insight into Italian culture. I aim to make every class engaging, supportive, and fun, so you feel confident using the language in real life.
I love meeting people from diverse backgrounds and learning from my students as much as they learn from me. If you’re ready for personalized, enjoyable lessons, I’d be happy to work with you.

I can’t recommend Nancy enough—she’s truly the best. She has this rare ability to make learning Italian feel both easy and genuinely fun. Even as an adult with a full life, I find myself looking forward to every lesson. It feels less like “studying” and more like a hobby I actually enjoy.
Nancy goes far beyond vocabulary and grammar. She brings the language to life by weaving in culture, nuance, and the real meaning behind how Italians speak and live. She helps you understand not just what to say, but how to think and feel a little more Italian—which has been incredibly meaningful as I prepare for my move to Italy.
È davvero una insegnante eccezionale—paziente, coinvolgente, e sempre attenta a rendere tutto chiaro e naturale. Ogni lezione è un piacere.
If you’re looking to not just learn Italian, but to embrace a more Italian way of life, Nancy is the person you want. La consiglio a tutti—especially if you’re chasing a little piece of that dolce vita!!!!

My teenage son will study abroad in Italy next year and Nancy has been a wonderful tutor! So is very warm and helpful. My son will use her until he leaves for Italy. We also appreciate that she offers in person lessons. I would highly recommend Nancy!

Working with Nancy has been great. She took the time to gauge if we were a good fit and met me where I was at in my journey to learn Italian. Highly recommend her if you want to the language

Learning a new language as an adult can feel intimidating, but meeting Nancy has made my Italian learning journey one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences I've had.
From our very first lesson, she created an environment where I felt comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and learning at my own pace. Her patience, kindness, and genuine encouragement have given me the confidence to keep improving every week. She has an incredible ability to make every lesson engaging, fun, and something I genuinely look forward to.
What truly sets Nancy apart is not only her knowledge of the Italian language, but the way she teaches it. She has a rare gift for making complex concepts feel simple and natural. Every lesson is filled with positive energy, laughter, and meaningful conversations that make learning feel effortless rather than like studying.
One quality I appreciate deeply is her flexibility and understanding. Life doesn't always go according to plan, and whenever I've needed to adjust my schedule, Nancy has always been incredibly accommodating. That level of care and professionalism is something you don't often find.
Over time, Nancy has become much more than just my Italian teacher. She has become a mentor who inspires me to continue learning, growing, and embracing the beauty of the Italian language and culture. Every class leaves me feeling more confident and more excited for the next one.
If you're looking for an Italian teacher who is knowledgeable, patient, friendly, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your success, I cannot recommend Nancy highly enough. She has made a lasting impact on my learning journey, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her.
Thank you for your kindness, your patience, and your passion for teaching. Every lesson with you reminds me that learning a language isn't just about words—it's about building confidence, creating meaningful connections, and enjoying the journey.
Io sono grato. Grazie di cuore, Nancy. Tu sei fantastica !

Nancy is a wonderful teacher! She's everything we could hope for in a language teacher. Learning a language later in life is a humbling process but Nancy is patient, encouraging, and steadfast in working with us (my husband and I take lessons together). Nancy has a good sense of humor but manages to keep us on task. She is easy to schedule with, always on time, and very experienced. Her classes are a good value as well. We tried a group Zoom class though a local language institute before working with a private teacher and it was too difficult balancing all the various questions and levels of learning. We're grateful we found her!

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and a Master's degree in Education.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have taught Italian for different companies, universities, private and group classes. I teach children and adults. I teach classes online and also do translating. Anything that has to do with Italian, I can help :)
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
The best advice I could give is to pick a teacher you feel very comfortable with and trust. Unfortunately, as we get older, we get more shy when it comes to speaking a different language. I tell my new students that they will be speaking Italian starting in their first class! :)
