I began Italian lessons with Mariarosa a few weeks ago and she has been a stellar teacher thus far! She tailors each of our lessons to my pace, and includes things that I mention I don't know yet or want to learn. All of our lessons have a good mix of grammar, vocabulary and review, and I always have a good bit of homework to keep me busy and continue learning between lessons :) highly recommend her as a teacher.

Very practical teacher and suitable for any level of English as she is very careful to adapt the lessons to your needs or requests. The lessons are always very enjoyable and they go by too quickly. Besides being a good teacher, she is also a positive person. Highly recommended.
