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. My lessons are a mix of chats about travel, food, movies, and curiosities—always with a smile. 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? 😊Me as a Teacher
🗣 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. My lessons & teaching style
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.

Time flies with Mara! I have had a regular weekly conversation with her since the beginning of January. We have had good, engaging discussions about a plethora of topics. Mara has given me a lot of gentle advice and useful tips for keeping my Italian “on the track”. She has laid foundations for each of our talks by providing me with an interesting and enlightening article about the topic at hand. I am glad to recommend Mara to all fellow Italian learners!
