She is incredible. I had a few Italian teachers before Luisa and none of them compare to her. Her lessons are interactive, challenging, yet non threatening. She carefully designs each class to be unique and knows how to modify them according to my learning style. When I am exhausted, she wakes me up. When I am slacking, she finds ways to make me accountable. Luisa is the very essence of what a teacher is and should strive to be like. I am so grateful I found her! Even my mom takes lessons with her now! And her Italian...God it is gorgeous!

My wife and I have been taking Italianlessons from Luisa for a few weeks now. She has been great! We are very busy and are learning the language at different speeds, but Luisa has worked with us to make the lessons very interesting, informative as well as fun. I would highly recommend Luisa to anyone interested in working with a true professional that also puts fun in the mix.

Luisa is great! She was super responsive when I first contacted her - I went from thinking about private lessons to having a trial session within an afternoon, with my first official session two days later.
The classes themselves are fun - she’s easy to talk to - and the customized attention is well worth the cost over group lessons. I can see improvement in my Italian after just four sessions.
C’è ancora molto da imparare, ma ho fiducia in Luisa!

Luisa is knowledgeable and fantastic at what she does! My teen son wanted to study Italian and not only does he enjoy lessons with her, he looks forward to them. He’s learned so much and is comfortable with the language. Highly recommended!!

I thoroughly enjoy my weekly Italianlessons with Luisa!! As a fellow teacher I can say her lessons are really on point - she provides a well-balanced approach that incorporates listening, speaking, reading and writing as well as discussions about Italian culture. She uses quality materials and has tons of suggestions for additional resources that I’ve been checking out. Luisa is extremely patient and kind. I really appreciate that she makes herself accessible across the entire week so that I never feel stuck when I need clarification on something I’m practicing. She’s also piloting a new group class which is fantastic - a really fun way to practice chatting with others. I am so grateful to have found such a skilled and professional guide for this experience. I will definitely be ready for my Tuscan adventure :)
