American Fluent in Italian | MA in Italian Studies | 8 Years of Experience Ciao a tutti! I’m Annabelle, an Italian teacher, photographer, traveler, and avid reader. Originally a native English speaker from New York, I’ve lived and studied in Italy on and off since 2010, earned my Master’s in Italian Studies in 2018, and have been teaching for eight years. I also hold an undergraduate degree in Spanish and have spoken the language since 2010. My connection to Spanish began with the Colombian community I grew up around and deepened through studying abroad in Mexico, and spending time with my corillo from Puerto Rico in NYC. I’m highly conversational and happy to use Spanish to explain Italian concepts and draw connections between the languages. I began tutoring during graduate school and have since taught students ages 3 to 80. As someone who learned Italian from 0, I understand both the challenges and the excitement of learning a new language. My approach is patient, encouraging, and lighthearted, with plenty of room for questions. Our first lesson is a chance to get to know your level, interests, and goals. From there, I tailor our lessons using a mix of conversation, reading, grammar, writing, and listening, with PDF materials provided. I also encourage you to explore Italian beyond class- whether that’s discussing a phrase from a film or sharing a recipe you’ve tried. I want you to enjoy the process and feel confident using what you learn! Spero di conoscerti presto!

Annabelle is a fantastic Italian teacher, possibly one of the best I've ever had! She strikes the perfect balance between maintaining a natural conversational flow and providing targeted corrections and valuable new vocabulary. I always look forward to our lessons :)

She’s the best Italian teacher I’ve had which includes my teachers from my undergraduate studies! She’s able to utilize colloquial Italian as well as academic Italian. The stuffiness of the traditional classroom isn’t present here - while there’s structure, it’s form and function is centered around modernity in Italy. Students will not be disappointed by her skill or her ability to always meet one in the middle.

As an introductory lesson, Annabelle was curious, engaged and met me where I am at in my Italian language journey. I look forward to my upcoming lessons :)

I appreciate the kind feedback and emphasis on my pronunciation. Annabelle is helpful with providing typical daily phrases, cultural nuance and vocabulary- more than what is often taught in typical classes.
