Your Friendly Neighborhood Italian Tutor! Hi! I'm Mara, your Italian tutor on a mission: to turn learning into enjoyable, culture-rich conversations! Born and raised in Italy, I love exploring languages (I speak four) and sharing tips to master them without stress. I know learning can feel intimidating, but with me, it’ll feel like chatting with a friend: natural, fun, and super useful. Ready to get started? 😊 🗣 My class' focus is on conversation full of vocabulary terms for the student to learn. The topic will change every time: culture, food, literature, recipes, movies, travels... 🤹🏻 The students will describe pictures, do dictation activities and funny exercises, but mostly talk about their routine, their travels, and more. At the end of the class I always tell my students my thoughts about their Italian skills based on the conversation we had, and I give them some tips to improve progressively. ⭐️ This is a safe space: feel free to share your thoughts, make mistakes and make questions. Don’t stress too much and enjoy the process. PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING 📣 Unfortunately, I do not teach children and absolute beginners (A1). 🚨 IMPORTANT: If you’re unable to attend a lesson, please let me know in advance. If you book a class but don’t show up for any reason, kindly mark the lesson as complete and feel free to book another one. However, if you inform me ahead of time, I’ll be happy to reschedule the class for you. Thank you for your understanding!

Dopo la lezione di prova, Mara mi ha illustrato le sue idee su come potrei migliorare le mie competenze linguistiche, quali sono i suoi consigli e come si strutturerebbe un eventuale percorso didattico successivo. Le domande ricevono risposte chiare e corredate da esempi, che vengono anche annotate per iscritto, in modo che lo studente possa seguirle visivamente. Grazie, Mara

Mara is excellent and unbelievably patient. She has a great ability to explain complicated concepts extremely clearly and can easily switch into English only if required by me. The resources she provides are very helpful and well structured. Grazie mille, Mara!

Mara is a terrific resource for the not-so-easy grammatical rules that exist in Italian, and she is happy to explain them to me in an easy way whenever I have questions. She's patient and kind, and helps me to feel more at ease during our lessons. She understands the difficulties with language learning and is a very devoted teacher. Thank you, Mara!

The introductory class was very helpful. Mara used the time to gauge my level, understand my goals, and discuss what I’m currently doing to achieve them. She also shared what she thinks I should do moving forward. I will definitely book more lessons with Mara!

A very strong and excellent first lesson with Mara. Extremely clear, great listening skills and spoken ability in English (when needed), very helpful with clarifications including on more complex linguistic aspects, and fun but professional. Grazie mille Mara e a presto!
