Beatrice Mascolini

After taking a few lessons with Beatrice I can honestly say that I’m getting much more comfortable speaking Italian. Because she isn’t judgmental but also because she chooses topics that are interesting. Most recently, we discussed every Italians favorite topic: pizza. And it was not only helpful regarding learning Italian language but also culture.

I had an excellent first lesson with Beatrice! She is very friendly and professional. The lesson was a good mix of natural conversation with a little bit of structured activity. She is very communicative and helped me feel more confident with my Italian! I definitely recommend her!

Integrating learning with real-life situations has been an extremely helpful method of learning for me. Beatrice is able to take the grammar aspects of language that we are working on and teach them in fun, exciting ways that you would encounter in daily situations!

This was another excellent lesson with Beatrice! She is always very patient and a pleasure to talk to. She’s a great teacher and great person as well. I highly recommend her!

Interesting grammar lessons into natural conversation has been a very helpful style. Beatrice keeps things interesting by introducing different elements of Italian culture into our weekly lessons. This week we discussed the classic Italian film and book Pinocchio. It’s interesting revisiting old films and music but seeing them through a different lens. It’s more than language lessons but cultural too!

Beatrice used a part of Italian culture to focus on multiple language skills: cooking recipes! Something that is necessary in everyday life but you don’t think about how detailed it truly is. Discussing how to read a recipe helped introduce me to a ton of new vocabulary, and also implement the imperative conjugation form. In addition to commands it’s also used for recipes. Very interesting lesson and as always, engaging.
