Learn Italian with native Professor Donatella

Donatella is fantastic. I have been trying to learn Italian on my own and she was quick to identify areas needing improvement. She tailors the lessons to how I need use the language for work and research.

Donatella is great! I engaged Donatella to learn Italian once and for all so this will be a long term commitment. She is fair and very easy going. But, she will put you through the necessary steps to learn the language based on your commitment level. There are no short cuts. Grammar rules and articles are especially confusing if English is your first language. But, she makes it as easy as possible to understand and speaks to you in a thick Italian accent so you begin to pick up on the pronunciations and mannerisms to mirror the conversation. I'm so glad I came across her and will continue to work with her throughout my studies!

I can say a lot of wonderful things about Donatella, as she is a terrific Italian teacher and I get a lot of VALUE from my lessons. We have been working together for over a year and my confidence and skills have grown tremendously. Donatella really pushes me beyond my comfort zone and gives me confidence to speak. Donatella approaches teaching with enthusiasm and patience. I will continue to work with Donatella for as long as she will have me! Ciao a tutti!

Donatella is great. Very patient and quickly picked up in the areas I needed help and focused our sessions to incorporate those areas. I'm really enjoying my lessons!

Donatella listens well, communicates clearly, and shows great concern for me as a student. She is an excellent teacher/tutor. She tailors lessons to my abilities and needs and pushes me to go further. She also manages group classes with sensitivity and respects the strengths and weaknesses of each participant with a very positive attitude and feedback.
