Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am a very fortunate person because I have a very rewarding and enjoyable job. Italian students are always curious, culturally engaged and a little crazy :-). My favorite part about teaching is building a relationship with my students who often become very good friends. Seeing my students go from not speaking one word of the language to being able to hold a conversation is extremely rewarding. I might never become a millionaire, but I would never have any other job!

Simona is not only a superb Italian language instructor, but also a wonderfully warm, kind, and patient individual. She will tailor lessons to your specific needs and will keep you motivated and engaged in ways that will have you looking forward to your next meeting with her. She has an innate ability to connect with her students, immediately putting them at ease, no matter whether starting at a beginner's level or beyond. I had the great fortune of having her as my personal Italian instructor for almost a decade ...we began by using textbooks but moved quickly to conversational meetings, which eventually forged a special and lasting friendship between us. I would still be meeting with Simona, if she had not relocated outside of my state.

I have been studying the Italian language with Simona for almost 10 years. We meet once a week for an hour and our lesson time flies by. Recently we have been using Skype for our lessons and this works just as well as face to face. Simona is warm, funny and makes me feel very comfortable. She never embarrasses me for making errors and she praises me when I do well. She has extensive grammatical and cultural knowledge. Homework exercises have included work book assignments, writing, reading, and watching Italian movies. Simona is helping me change from someone who wanted to speak Italian into someone who can speak Italian. I cannot say enough about how much you will value studying with her. Don't wait any longer; contact her today!

I enjoyed my Italian lessons with Simona very much! She is a warm and engaging instructor and I always looked forward to her lessons and conversations. I learned a lot and thought she was very kind and thoughtful as well.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Yes, in fact, I am about to start a class designed for online teachers. Moreover, since I live outside of Italy, I always stay current on Italian news and do as much reading in Italian as possible. I also like to compare notes with colleagues and participate in Italian forums. Plus, I have to admit that I learn every day from my students; from their questions and from their suggestions.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    When looking for a private teacher the prospective student needs to make sure the teacher's style of teaching and personality match his/her own. Therefore, the best way to choose a teacher is to ask for a trial lesson. Ask even when the teacher does not mention anything about free trial lessons in his/her post. I am sure most teachers won't mind at all. As far as studying a foreign language, the best advice I can give is: go for it, don't be afraid to make mistakes and to look silly, because you don't. We are here to TEACH you, if you we already good at it, you wouldn't need our help. Good luck!
