Giada è incredible! I was taking Italian classes in person but it was moving too fast. I barely comprehended one lesson before we moved on. I signed up for classes with Giada and it changed my experience completely! She takes the time to explain the reasons why sentences are structured, she is patient when I am struggling to conjugate verbs or form the proper sentence structure and she gives helpful hints to help memorize vocabulary - and always with a big smile. Above all she is encouraging throughout the lessons. I have only had about 6 classes with her and I feel like my Italian has come further with than with the in person classes. If you want to learn Italian with no stress and ease I highly suggested taking lessons from Giada.

Giada is an excellent teacher! She is genuinely interested in my language learning, and is great at celebrating little "wins" with me! Giada is very encouraging, patient, and helpful. She is on-time for our lessons, and has great resources. She is great at explaining things, and when I'm struggling, Giada comes up with creative ways to help me stay focused on my goals.
She is also SO fun to work with! Conversation flows easily, and I have a great time during our lessons. Learning a language is not always fun, but Giada makes it a delight! I always look forward to our lessons!

I've been trying to learn Italian for years and my biggest hurdle has been confidence with speaking. Learning with Giada has been so wonderful because she is so patient, meets me at my knowledge level, and is encouraging while also being constructive when I make mistakes. I feel so fortunate to have found her as a teacher and can't recommend her enough.

Giada is an excellent teacher. She cares so much about helping me learn, and her lessons are always productive and interesting. She makes me feel confident by encouraging my strengths as a student. If I make a mistake, she explains it gently and without judgement. She adapts to the interests of the student, as she is happy to explain grammar or just have a conversation. She is genuinely curious about whatever I want to discuss. We both enjoy learning about the other's life and country (I'm American). Her English is great, too! Lessons go smoothly even when I'm constantly asking "come se dice...[English word]." I highly recommend Giada!

Today was my final lesson with Giada before taking my B1 Cittadinanza. Her teaching experience is obvious, and her patience was very much appreciated. With so many available Italian tutors, I feel very fortunate to have found her.
